ISO 9001: 2015 In Brief provides an introduction to quality management
systems for students, newcomers and busy executives, with a user
friendly, simplified explanation of the history, the requirements and
benefits of the new standard.
This short, easy-to-understand reference tool also helps organisations
to quickly set up an ISO 9001:2015 compliant Quality Management System
for themselves at minimal expense and without high consultancy fees.

of chapters covering topics like:
-
- What is Quality? - An introduction to the requirements and benefits
of quality, quality control and quality assurance
- What is a QMS? - The structure of a Quality Management System and
associated responsibilities.
- Who produces Quality Standards? - An opportunity to see how
interlinked the various Standards Bodies are today.
- What is ISO 9001:2015? - The background to this particular standard,
how it has grown and developed over the years and what 'Annex SL' is
all about.
- What other standards are based on ISO 9001:2015? - Details of other
standards that replicate or are broadly based on ISO 9001:2015.
- What to do once your QMS is established - Process improvement tools,

This is supported by:

an overview of the content of the various clauses and sub clauses, the
likely documentation required and how these would affect an
organization. A cross-reference to the previous ISO 9001:2008 Clauses is
also provided as well as a complete bibliography and glossary.
