A Study on the Significance and Limitations of ISO9001: 2015 Revision

Abstract

　ISO9001 was revised in 2015 so that ISO9001 would be made a good use of as a more effective tool of the organization management. A risk-based thought and display of the leadership of the top management that grasped the situation the organization faced were adopted chiefly. On the other hand, it cannot but say with insufficiency that revised contents do not have a demand of the quality performance improvement itself, and there are not requirements for the financial consideration in business management. Because it is the certification standard of the management system, there is a limit to evaluate an ability of the management top. It is essential to plan development of the competence of manager for promoting innovation and will be necessary to establish the system to bring up and develop the competence of manager. And it is an issue to breed organization climate and culture that management system is firmly established in.
