In September, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published ISO 9001:2015, the updated high-level system (HLS) quality management system standard that includes some fundamental changes in how organizations are expected to operate to remain in conformance.

Not surprisingly, the definition of simplification is pretty simple—to make less complex or complicated; to make easier; or to reduce to fundamental parts.

A properly implemented management system can contribute to the financial strength and organizational resilience of a company.

ISO 9001, the international standard for quality management systems, has been growing in popularity since 2010.
