Process Map is the framework of the QMS- An Effective Process Map means a Strong Quality Management System.

An organization’s success depends on the interaction and sequence of its processes and how they are linked, as this alignment ensures all processes work toward a common goal.

A process shall include.

• Define inputs, outputs, and interactions.
• Determine what resources and inputs are needed.
• Define how the objectives will be achieved.
• Identify who is responsible for the process.
• What are the expected deliverables of the process
• What are the risks associated with the processes and controls needed to ensure smooth operation

Continuous Audit Readiness through Strong Quality Management System

Process Map defines a strong Quality Management System.Organizations should review the Process Map at defined intervals and also assess the risks associated with each process and the Context of the Organization on a regular basis.
