Re: Anyone registered yet to ISO 9001:2015?
As a CB auditor, I have completed two ISO 9001:2015 certification audits (stage 1 and stage 2) and have recommended both companies for registration to my CB. Both are now certified. They were not certified to 9001:2008. Several transitions scheduled for the next few months. As a consultant I have trained 10s of ISO 9001:2015 internal auditors and have augmented two ISO 9001:2015 QMS.
If you are already 2008, a stage 1 and stage 2 are not necessary. Your organization will undergo a transition audit (should be about 50% of the annual surveillance audit duration). This maybe negotiable with your CB as well. The best solution, I think, is to combine the transition with the surveillance audit.
There is a lot of hype about risk based thinking. Some forget the positive side: opportunities. Risk exists every day in the business world (competition, new technology, new regulation, customer requirements, suppliers, material shortages, personnel shortages, sometimes global events). It is often just a matter of linking RBT with what an organization does daily, medium term and long term.
Biggest hurdle for some organizations: Leadership involvement. (pawning it off to the Quality Manager is no longer acceptable).
Do not wait too long. Come 2017 and 2018 the CBs will be buried with transitions and recertifications and there maybe a shortage of auditors.
