ISO 9001: 2015 was issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), accordingly, the ISO 9001: 2008 standard expires after 3 years from the date of ISO 9001:2015 issuance. Recognizing the importance of maintaining the quality management system, the need to transition to ISO 9001: 2015, on March 26, 2018, Hong Ha Nutrition Joint Stock Company in collaboration with QMS Viet Nam organized a training in awareness of ISO 9001: 2008 Quality Management System for its managers and representatives of departments.
Hong Ha was certified with quality management system for the first time in 2008 and since then the system has been constantly updated and improved according to the development trend and the current ISO 9000 standards. The continuous improvement of a quality management system enhances the ability to improve the satisfaction of customers and other interested parties. Quality management systems are only maintained and regularly improved when the head of an organization understands and uses the quality management system to control and improve the quality.

The leadership takes special concern, so, I am and my fellows are very excited to participate."
The short training course helps the staff understand the difference of the ISO 9001: 2015 version compared to the old version ISO 9001: 2008. Mr. Le Hai Sam, Chief Representative of QMS Australia in Hanoi, says that risk-based thinking is the most obvious difference in this new version. On the basis of the theoretical awareness of the training course, there is a clear orientation on how to transfer the quality management system to the new version and more detailed advise for enactment.
