ISO 9001:2008 Transition Training With a Focus on Implementation

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 23, 2009 -- Many of our customers are encountering unpleasant surprises when they are audited to ISO 9001:2008 this year. Like many others, they have been told that there are no changes to ISO 9001:2008, so they have not taken a close look at their ISO 9001:2008 implementation. Why are so many organizations receiving nonconformities in their ISO 9001:2008 audits? To understand the ISO 9001:2008 changes better, let's see if you know the answers to these three questions:
1. There are no changes made to ISO 9001:2008. True or False?

2. If there are no changes made, then there should be no changes required in our QMS. True or False?
3. Auditors will not need to issue any nonconformities to systems compliant with ISO 9001:2000 when auditing for ISO 9001:2008. True or False?

We will provide you a Stage I (document review) and Stage II ISO 9001:2008 checklist to aid you in your efforts to achieve conformity to ISO 9001:2008. These are the same checklists that an auditor may use during your audit, so you will be able to look at your system from an auditor's point of view. The following topics will be covered in the online seminar:

ISO 9001:2008 - Philosophy, Principles, Concepts, and How to Apply to a QMS
Key Differences Between ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 9001:2008 - Implications of the Differences
The implications of these changes to your QMS
Conducting a Document Review for ISO 9001:2008
RABQSA, IRCA and ISO/TC 176 Requirements for an Auditor and the Implications for Internal Auditors
Transition Deadlines and Selected Registrar's Requirements
