Identify business processes
In this task, you will identify the various business processes that exist within the organization. This includes both the core processes that directly contribute to the delivery of products or services, as well as supporting processes that enable the core processes to function effectively. By identifying and understanding these processes, you will be able to ensure that the quality management system covers all key areas of the organization. What are the main business processes in your organization?
Classify and subdivide processes according to importance
Now that you have identified the main business processes, it is important to classify and subdivide them according to their importance. This will help prioritize resources and efforts in the quality management system. How would you classify and subdivide the identified processes according to their importance?
Design process flowcharts for each identified process
Creating process flowcharts for each identified process is crucial for understanding how the processes work and how they are interconnected. These flowcharts will serve as a visual representation of the processes, making it easier to identify potential bottlenecks or areas for improvement. Describe the process flowchart for each identified process.
Define objectives for each process
In this task, you will define the objectives for each identified process. Objectives provide a clear statement of what the process aims to achieve, helping to guide decision-making and performance evaluation. What are the objectives for each process?
Identify key metrics for each process objectives
To assess the performance and effectiveness of each process, it is essential to identify key metrics or performance indicators. These metrics will help track progress towards objectives and enable data-driven decision-making. What are the key metrics for each process objective?
Identify risks and opportunities for each process
Every process is subject to risks and presents opportunities for improvement. By identifying these risks and opportunities, the organization can take proactive measures to mitigate potential issues and capitalize on areas for improvement. What are the risks and opportunities for each process?
Draft quality procedures for each process
Quality procedures provide step-by-step instructions and guidelines for employees to follow when performing tasks within a process. These procedures help maintain consistency and ensure that the desired quality standards are met. Describe the quality procedures for each identified process.
Identify required resources for each process
To effectively carry out each process, it is necessary to identify and allocate the required resources. Resources could include personnel, equipment, tools, software, or any other necessary inputs. What are the required resources for each process?
Assign responsibilities for processes
Clearly defining and assigning responsibilities for each process is crucial for accountability and ensuring that tasks are executed efficiently. Roles and responsibilities should be clearly communicated to all involved parties. Who will be responsible for each process?

Train employees on new quality procedures and responsibilities
Implementing new quality procedures and processes requires adequate training of employees. This includes providing them with the necessary knowledge and skills to carry out their responsibilities effectively. How will you train employees on the new quality procedures and responsibilities?
Implement new quality procedures and processes
Once employees are trained, it is time to implement the new quality procedures and processes. This involves rolling out the changes across the organization and ensuring that employees follow the new procedures. How will you implement the new quality procedures and processes?
Monitor and record performance metrics
To track the performance of the quality management system, it is important to monitor and record relevant performance metrics. This data will help evaluate the effectiveness of the system and identify areas for improvement. Which performance metrics will you monitor and record?
Audit process quality
Regular audits of the processes are essential to ensure compliance with the defined quality procedures and identify any deviations or non-conformities. Audits provide an opportunity to assess the overall effectiveness of the quality management system. How will you conduct process quality audits?
