Kaizen Approach to ISO 9001:2015

Why Should You Attend:

With the advent of the new and approved ISO 9001:2015 standard recently published in 2015, this is a great opportunity to re-engineer your quality management system (QMS) to make it one that adds value and is well respected by all within the organization, especially top management. 5.1.1 of the revised standard requires top management to “demonstrate leadership and commitment with respect to the quality management system (QMS) by ensuring the integration of the QMS requirements into the organization's business processes. This should include the integration with all Kaizen processes including standard work, communication cells, visual management, gemba walks, 5S, work cells, total productive maintenance, etc.

This presentation will discuss how with the revised standards requirement to address risk management at all levels, Kaizen practices support this effort since any effort in reducing waste is an effort to mitigate risk.

It will also discuss how the tools of Kaizen can and should be used to downsize the documentation within the organization, thereby making it more user-friendly, since the revised version of ISO 9001 has loosened the reins on documentation requirements.
