Does ISO 9001 require a procedure for addressing risks and opportunities?
With the release of ISO 9001 Certification in Oman , there is a new necessity for the recognizable and evaluation of risks and opportunities for the Quality Management System (QMS). These new requirements have carried with them some confusion not only about what needs to be done, but also what should be documented with regards to risks and opportunities for your QMS.

Integrate into your QMS : How would you be able to take these plans and fit them into your regular activities so that they happen easily?
