ABSTRACT
Measurement, monitoring, analysis, and evaluation are critical for the assessment of the performance of the quality management system (QMS). The goal is to reflect the quantitative and qualitative performance of the QMS and to report the degree to which processes meet their stated objectives. This activity is regarded by the ISO 9001 Standard as one of the tools that promotes improvement of the QMS. Clause 9.1.1General-lays the required principles to be considered while determining and creating methods for monitoring measurement analysis and evaluation of processes or process results. In other words, when you plan, determine, and define how you will monitor, measure, analyze, and then evaluate a process or its outputs, make sure that you are applying and practicing the following principles (the ISO 9001 Standard requirements):
• The organization shall determine which quality elements shall be monitored and measured.
