ANNEX “A”
MODEL FOR EVALUATING THE PROGRESS OF THE QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
Diagnosis and Planning.
First stage: Conduct a diagnosis to determine the organization’s degree of compliance with the requirements of the ISO 9001:2015 standard. With this tool, it is possible to determine what the institution requires to comply with the requirements established in the aforementioned standard. Based on the findings of the diagnosis, the respective report must be prepared, which must be accompanied by a work plan detailing the activities, responsible parties, and deadlines for execution to close the identified gaps. The Diagnosis must be carried out by professional Auditors with technical competence in the area of Quality Management System Auditing.
Delivery date June 30, 2019.
Design of the Quality Management System (QMS).
Second stage: Define the key elements of the Quality Management System and the requirements of the standard (Scope of the system, establishing the types of products and services applicable to this standard; understanding the organization and its context; roles, responsibilities, and authorities within the organization; establishing the necessary processes and their interrelationships; leadership and commitment from top management; quality policy; quality objectives; customer focus; risk-based thinking; resources necessary for implementation; personnel; infrastructure; documentary support of the system; operational planning and control; monitoring, measurement, analysis, and evaluation; customer satisfaction; internal audits; and determining opportunities for improvement).
Delivery date: September 30, 2019.
Implementation of the Quality Management System (QMS).
Third stage: The implementation stage is embedded within the PHVA (Plan, Do, Check, and Act) continuous improvement cycle and can be adapted to the type of institution to which it is applied. As the Quality Management System (QMS) is designed, methodologies and records are progressively implemented across all processes and functional areas within the defined scope.
Delivery date February 28, 2020.
Internal Audit.
Fourth stage: After the Quality Management System (QMS) has been implemented in the organization, internal quality audits will be carried out with the objective of determining whether the Quality Management System (QMS) complies with the ISO 9001:2015 requirements and is applied consistently throughout the involved process.
Delivery date: May 2020.
Implementation Validation.
Fifth stage: Validation involves a formal evaluation of the Quality Management System (QMS) by external experts, which will be coordinated by the National Institute of Aquatic Spaces (INEA) when deemed appropriate.
