Introduction<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In today\u2019s competitive environment, quality is one of the key factors determining an organization\u2019s success. ISO 9001, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), helps organizations manage their structure and processes in a systematic way. The latest version, ISO 9001:2015, emphasizes the process\u2011based approach, risk\u2011based thinking, and continual improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first version of ISO 9001 was published in 1987 and has been updated several times to improve efficiency and align with industrial changes. The 2015 version is the latest and most widely used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of ISO 9001 is to establish a system that ensures product and service quality, reduces errors, increases customer trust, and continuously improves organizational processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
