Planning and Analysis Are Critical to Your QMS Transition

John R. Broomfield writes that, for continual improvement of anything to be effective, efficient and lasting, you need to plan for the processes and resources necessary for achieving your identified objective. Broomfield explores Actions 7 (complete the project management plan to make the transition to ISO 9001:2000 with an effective QMS) and 8 (define objectives, inputs, controls and outputs for each key process) in his 16-step plan for making an effective transition to ISO 9001:2000.
