Establishing a quality management system (4.1)
The standard requires the organization to establish aquality
management systeminaccordance with the requirements of ISO
9001.(What is ISO 9000)
What does this mean?
To establish means to set up on a permanent basis, install, or
create and therefore inestablishing a management system, it has to
be designed, constructed, resourced,installed and integrated into
the organization signifying that a management system onpaper is not
a management system.
Establishing a system in accordance with the requirements ofISO
9001means that thecharacteristics of the system have to meet the
requirements of ISO 9001. However, the
requirements of ISO 9001 are not expressed as system
requirements of the form Thesystem shall . . . but are expressed as
organization requirements of the form Theorganization shall . . .
It would appear, therefore, that the system has to cause
theorganization to comply with the requirements and this will only
happen if the system hasbeen integrated into the way the
organization does things. Some organizations regardthe management
system as the way they do things but merely documenting what you
dodoes not equate with establishing a system.
Why is this necessary?
This requirement responds to the System Approach Principle.
ISO 9001contains a series of requirements which if met will
provide the managementsystem with the capability of supplying
products and services that satisfy theorganizations customers. All
organizations have a management system a way ofworking, but in some
it is not formalized in others it is partially formalized but
noteffective and in a few organizations the management system
really enables itsobjectives to be achieved year after year.
In such organizations, a management system has been established
rather than evolvedand if an organization desires year after year
success, it needs a formal mechanism toaccomplish this it wont
happen by chance or even by the brute force and

This diagram has some important features. Note that the design
input to thesystem comprises internal and external requirements. On
the right side there arefour improvement routes:
Improvements in conformity during operation of the system
arisethrough enforcing policy and practices doing what you say you
do
Improvements in conformity during system construction arise
through enforcingpolicy and design rules on the system reworking
the system to comply with theestablished policies and
objectives
Improvements in efficiency during system construction arise
through findingbetter ways of implementing the system design
shorter, less wasteful routines,less complexity, lower skill
levels, fewer resources
Improvements in effectiveness arise as a result of identifying
different policiesand objectives higher targets, new objectives,
new requirements, regulations,
and new technologies.
