The Essential checklist for conducting a successful ISO 9001 Gap Analysis

Using an ISO 9001 Gap Analysis Checklist can be a powerful tool for organizations looking to improve their quality management systems. The checklist helps organizations identify areas of their current system that may not meet the ISO 9001 standard and then take steps to close the gap. The gap analysis checklist provides a comprehensive view of the organization’s quality management system and helps to identify any areas that need improvement or updating.

The benefits of using a gap analysis checklist include

Improved Quality Management System: By identifying and correcting gaps between the current system and the ISO 9001 standard, organizations can improve their quality management system and ensure that it is up-to-date and compliant.

Cost Savings: By identifying and correcting gaps, organizations can reduce the amount of time and money spent on quality management activities that are not necessary or relevant. This can result in significant cost savings.

Efficiency: The gap analysis checklist can help organizations identify areas where they can streamline their processes, leading to improved efficiency and productivity.

Accountability: By having a documented gap analysis checklist, organizations can ensure that they are held accountable for any changes or improvements that need to be made to their quality management system.

Use this knowledge to find out if the context of the company, planning, operations, quality control and product development is in order with the ISO standard. Download the ISO 9001:2015 checklist to create efficient on-site reports and immediately prescribe improving actions to the relevant people.
