Management Principles Of ISO 9001 Standards
ISO 9000 is based on eight management principles:
• Customer focus, resulting in meeting customer requirements and striving to exceed them;
• Leadership, aiming to create an internal environment in which people are fully involved;
• Involvement of people who are the essence of an organization;
• Process approach, resulting in improved efficiency to obtain desired results;
• System approach to management, leading to improved effectiveness and efficiency through identification, understanding and management of interrelated processes;
• Continual improvement, which becomes a permanent objective of the organization;
• Factual approach to decision-making, based on the analysis of data and information; and
