La gestion de la qualité selon
la norme ISO 9001
ISO 9001: a global pillar of quality management
First published in 1987 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO 9001 is part of the ISO 9000 family of standards, which is the result of broad international consensus. It has undergone several major revisions—in 1994, 2000, 2008, and 2015—each aimed at strengthening its effectiveness and applicability in an ever-changing world.
Adopted as a national standard by most countries, ISO 9001 is now used by more than one million organizations worldwide. It is a strategic choice for structuring, improving, and demonstrating the effectiveness of internal processes. In many industrial sectors, it also plays a central role in procurement strategies and is often integrated into product certification programs or regulatory requirements.
Since the 2000 edition, and even more so in the 2008 and 2015 editions, the active involvement of senior management has become a key success factor in the implementation of a quality management system. Multiple surveys have confirmed that the success or failure of such a system depends largely on management commitment. The 2015 edition, in particular, reinforces this requirement by placing leadership at the heart of the system, emphasizing the importance of a sustainable quality culture supported by all staff.
The benefits of ISO 9001 are numerous: continuous improvement, increased customer satisfaction, better risk management, and enhanced credibility with partners and markets. It provides a proven framework for implementing a systematic approach to quality, aligned with the organization's strategic objectives.

Management awareness – ISO 9001: 2015
– 3,5 hours
Multiple surveys have revealed that the success or failure of implementing a quality management system depends largely on the involvement, or lack thereof, of senior management.
This has been particularly true since the 2000 edition of the standards, which requires active participation from the organisation's management. This was confirmed in the 2008 edition and significantly reinforced in the 2015 edition.
Course Objective
Raise participants' awareness of the changes made in the 2015 edition of the ISO 9001 standard, particularly with regard to:
- Provide a brief overview of what, when, and how of this standard.
- Provide an overview of the changes between the 2008 and 2015 editions and highlight their general rationale
- Explore the significance and impact of the main changes, particularly those that are of particular interest to the management of organisations.
Target audience
This course is intended for company directors and managers who want to understand the requirements of the new edition of the standards. Particularly regarding the strategic aspects of the quality management system and their roles and responsibilities within that management system.
Content Elements
The course presents the new general structure of the standard, which complies with a framework now applicable to all ISO management system standards. The course then explores the following aspects in greater depth:
- From a strategic perspective, understanding the organisation and its context, and understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties;
- Leadership and commitment from management;
- The enhanced process approach and the risk (and opportunity) approach, now explicitly defined and systematically applied;
- Organisational knowledge management;
- The concept of improvement, which still includes continuous improvement, but has now been considerably broadened.
