ISO 9001:2008 Gap Analysis

One of the most important steps before implementing of ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System in your organization is conducting a Gap Analysis.


What is a Gap Analysis


Gap Analysis is done to compare your existing system ( if any) to the requirements of ISO 9001:2008. During the Gap Analysis you are able to identify the requirements your organizations already meets and the ones that need to be addressed.


The most important tool for the Gap Analysis is the Gap Analysis Audit Checklist. For a free copy of a Gap Analysis Checklist please send your request to grahak.thecustomer@gmail.com or click here 


The auditor can use this checklist to compare your current system with the requirements of the ISO 9001:2008 standard. This checklist gives the auditor a specific place to document what they saw that did or did not meet the standard.


From the Gap Analysis you can list down all the documents that are available and that need to be developed. Other requirements as per the ISO 9001:2008 standard can also be clearly identified after the Gap Analysis.
