6. DETAILS OF PROCEDURE
6.1.2 The identification of an interested party does not necessarily bring that party into the
scope of the QMS; for example, labour union leadership may be identified as an interested
party, but that does not mean QMS documents and policies must be developed related to
them.
6.1.3 Properly planning a change by applying risk-based thinking can help to avoid negative
consequences such as rework or cancellation or postponement of service; it can also result
in positive consequences such as reduction of nonconforming outputs; or reduced incidents
of human error
6.2.2 Issues may be either internal or external, depending on whether the interested party
is internal or external. In addition, a certain type of party may have both internal and
external concerns.
6.2.3 When attempting to identify internal concerns, it may be useful to consider service
concerns, employee concerns, etc.
6.2.4 When attempting to identify external concerns, it may be useful to consider concerns
arising from competition, society and culture, labour relations, statutory and regulatory
issues, supply chain, economic issues, etc.
6.3.2 Within the Risk register, each risk and opportunity will be noted, along with the
primary process involved.
6.3.3 Management will then determine a treatment method for each risk or opportunity.
Risks are managed to reduce their likelihood and severity, while opportunities are
managed to increase their likelihood and benefits. Blended issues may require more
complex treatment.
6.3.4 Where a risk is determined to be treated, these must then be entered into the Risk
and Opportunity Register.
6.4.1 From the information above, CEO devises a “strategic direction” which is documented
in the records of management review.
