QMS
Quality management, based on how often it is discussed, would be one of the most successful management disciplines in history. If judged by how it is practiced, many organizations would quietly admit something uncomfortable: “We are certified, but we are not transformed.”
QIIN is proud to join this global celebration once again, with a rich lineup of activities that will make this year’s observance truly impactful, inclusive, and memorable.
When we think of nonconformities (NCs), our minds often jump to technical reports, quality manuals, and checklists. But what if the very first NC happened long before ISO standards were ever written—right in the Garden of Eden?

There are deeper dangers beneath nonconformities. During a recent ISO 15189:2022 and ISO 9001:2015 certification courses, a couple of moving questions arose that sparked crucial discussions on the true depth of nonconformities in quality management systems.
Deep, thought-provoking discussions and the pursuit of excellence marked this cohort! Abuja Stream 6, a successful training of the QMS ISO 9001:2015 Sponsored Foundations Certification Course, held on July 24–25, 2024, at The Bunker, Wuse 2, Abuja.
Faith Umeaku posed an intriguing question during our recent QMS ISO 9001:2015 Foundations Certification Course: “Which of the quality requirements comes first?” This inquiry sparked a lively debate …
