Step 1: ISO 9001 Gap Analysis 
Our experienced and certified consultants will start by carrying out an assessment of your existing quality management practices against the ISO 9001:2015 requirements. This gap analysis employs an ISO 9001 checklist customized for your organization’s functions, processes and regulatory regime. The gap analysis also considers your organization’s strategic plan for its alignment with proposed QMS. The outcome of the gap analysis is presented in step-by-step approach with deliverables and responsibilities for your buy-in and acceptance

Step 2: Process Identification and Risk Assessment 
JSA Inc. consultants identify processes based on all functional groups such as management, engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, shipping and receiving, quality, sales/marketing, etc. Following identification, these processes are risk assessed using a relevant risk assessment criterion. The assessed risks are then evaluated against a benchmark that is derived from history of the operations.

Step 3: Documented Information Development & Strategic Planning 
The documented information required by ISO 9001 based QMS includes: QMS Manual, QMS policy, QMS scope, QMS Process Lists, QMS Risk Registers, QMS System Procedures, QMS Operational Procedures, QMS Work Instructions, QMS Tools (Checklists, Forms, Templates).Our experienced consultants help in these ISO 9001 documentation development on the basis of conformance with ISO 9001 requirements as well as user-friendliness in terms of clarity, consistency, and free of conflict.
