ISO 10006 Certification: Consultants in SRI LANKA
ISO 10006 was formulated by Technical Committee lSO/TC 176 ‘Quality management and quality assurance’ with a purpose of providing guidance for Quality management in projects. ISO 10006 displays specific guidelines of Quality management to be followed by any project irrespective of its background such as large, small, long term, short term, individual, group, environmental, industrial and rest.
It is necessary for a project managing personnel to understand that ISO 10006 is a guide to Quality management in the project and not a plain guide to project management. ISO 10006 is a guidance document. Hence, it is not supposed to be used as a certification/ registration process.
ISO 10006 can be applied to any organization conducting projects irrespective of its size, shape, turnover, geographical location, etc. ISO have adopted process approach which follows PDCA act (Plan – Do – Check – Act) cycle which brings in a drive for continued perfection in the process of organization.
