This requires the collection, analysis and interpretation of relevant data to assess performance, identify trends and make informed decisions.
Stakeholder relations managementOrganizations must identify and manage relationships with stakeholders (customers, suppliers, employees, partners, etc.) that impact their ability to deliver quality-compliant products and services. This involves understanding their needs, establishing mutually beneficial partnerships, and managing expectations.GxpManager has identified the stakeholders involved in each of these processes, and ensures that we understand their needs and expectations.

These seven Quality Management principles, defined by ISO 9001:2015, provide a solid framework for establishing and maintaining an effective quality management system focused on continuous improvement. By applying these principles, all organizations can strengthen their overall performance, increase customer satisfaction and achieve operational excellence.

An interesting approach to understanding these principles is to take them in their opposite meaning.

  • lack of interest in the customer,
  • lack of leadership,
  • staff disengagement,
  • a fragmented approach to processes,
  • stagnation,
  • decision-making based on assumptions,
  • ignorance of stakeholders.

This allows us to realize its negative impact on the organization if its principles are not respected and followed.

Since April 2023, GxpManager has been ISO 9001:2015 certified, which is proof and guarantees that all employees within the company are committed to a quality approach to daily customer satisfaction by following these 7 principles of the quality approach.
