What are the ISO 9001 management principles?

Customer focus:

An organisation depends on its customers and should therefore understand current and future customer needs, meet customer requirements and strive to exceed customer expectations.

Leadership:

Leaders establish unity of purpose and direction of an organisation. They should create and maintain an internal environment in which people can become fully involved in achieving an organisation’s objectives.

Involvement:

People at all levels are the essence of an organisation and their full involvement enables their abilities to be used for the organisation’s benefit.

Process approach:

The desired result is achieved more efficiently when related resources and activities are managed as a process.

System approach to management:

Identifying, understanding and managing interrelated processes as a system contributes to an organisation’s effectiveness and efficiency in achieving its objectives.

Continual improvement:

Continual improvement in overall performance should be a permanent objective of the organisation.

Factual approach to decision making:

Effective decisions are based on the analysis of data and information.

Mutually beneficial supplier relationships:

An organisation and its suppliers are interdependent, and a mutually beneficial relationship enhances the ability of both to create value.
