QMS Implementation Planner

This chart has been developed as an aid to help you plan your implementation. It also advises on the support services available from LRQA.

The chart identifies a typical sequence of steps that organisations take when developing management systems. It provides an illustration indicating a number of important steps but is not an exhaustive list of activities necessary to develop an effective management system.
