Confirm that your organization  has a methodology in place that enables them to effectively identify risks and opportunities  with respect to the planning of its quality management system.

    • 
            
  • Establish quality management system objectives and targets, at each relevant function and level within the organization. 
    • 
            
  • Identify risks and opportunities associated with change that could affect the management system. Deploy plans to monitor the effectiveness of the management system after change.
