Run quality management aligned with ISO 9001.

Start from the Quality Management project template in Manager: processes, complaints, nonconformities, audits and improvements on plan-do-check-act, run by your agent. Built around ISO 9001, as an independent template.

Why run your QMS in Manager?

Processes you can see

Every process has an owner and a documented flow; the process map shows how they connect.

Complaints become improvements

A systemic complaint becomes a nonconformity with root cause and corrective action.

PDCA without the binders

Audits, reviews and improvements run as tracked work, so the cycle keeps turning between audits.

ISO 9001 in brief.

ISO 9001 sets the requirements for a quality management system: meet customer and regulatory requirements consistently and raise customer satisfaction. It rests on customer focus, the process approach, plan-do-check-act and risk-based thinking.

Clauses 4 to 10 share the structure of other ISO management system standards. Nonconformities get a root cause and corrective action; internal audits check the system, management reviews judge it, and continual improvement keeps it moving.

  1. Plan: policy and processes
  2. Do: run the processes
  3. Check: audits and complaints
  4. Act: correct and improve

ISO 9001 in Manager.

Where each part of the standard lives in your project.

ISO 9001In Manager
Quality policy and objectivesA wiki page from the quality-policy skill.
Process approach (clause 4.4)A Process item per process with an Owner, documented on a wiki page.
Risk-based thinkingRisks and opportunities right in each process description.
Customer complaintsComplaint items with Customer, Severity and Received date.
Nonconformity and corrective action (clause 10.2)A Nonconformity with Type, Severity, Owner and Due; actions are child Action Items.
Internal audit (clause 9.2)An Audit item. Each gap it finds becomes a Nonconformity.
Management review and improvement (clauses 9.3, 10.3)A dated wiki page per review; decisions become Action Items tagged Management Review or Continual Improvement.

The workflow.

  1. Create the project

    Connect your AI agent over MCP; it creates the project from the template.

    Say to your agentManager: Create a project from the Quality Management template.

  2. Set the policy and map the processes

    Record your quality policy and objectives, then document each process with its owner, risks and opportunities.

    Say to your agentManager: Run the quality-policy skill and then process-map, interviewing me as you go.

  3. Handle complaints

    Log each complaint with customer, severity and date received. A systemic issue becomes a Nonconformity.

    Say to your agentManager: Run complaint-handling for a new customer complaint and ask me for the details.

  4. Fix the root cause

    Work each Nonconformity through root cause and corrective action. Action Items carry owners and due dates.

    Say to your agentManager: Run the nonconformity-capa skill on the most urgent open nonconformity.

  5. Audit, review, improve

    Audits raise Nonconformities, the management review decides what changes, and continual improvement tracks the result.

    Say to your agentManager: Run the management-review skill for this quarter.

  1. Open
  2. Root Cause
  3. Corrective Action

Skills

These skills come with the template in Manager:

  • quality-policy

    Policy, objectives, customer focus. Run it first.

  • process-map

    Document processes with owners, risks and opportunities.

  • complaint-handling

    Complaint from intake to resolution; escalate systemic ones.

  • internal-audit

    Plan an audit, walk processes, raise Nonconformities.

  • nonconformity-capa

    Contain, find the root cause, correct, verify.

  • management-review

    Periodic review; decisions become Action Items.

  • continual-improvement

    Turn trends into Action Items and check they helped.

Good to know.

Certification and the standard

Certification comes from an accredited certification body; Manager gets you ready for the audit. The skills cite the clause numbers, so keep your copy of the standard at hand.

Records with a trail

Attach work instructions and results to their item. Item Activity, wiki revisions and the audit log show who changed what, when.

Running ISO/IEC 27001 too?

The Information Security (ISMS) template shares the audit statuses and corrective-action loop, so audits in both projects read alike.

A quality system that lives between audits.

Open Complaints, Open Nonconformities and Audits In Progress show where you stand, and every decision is on record for the auditor.
