4 QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Saki Soft has elected to define its activities in documented procedures covering relevant aspects of the operations, including the necessary controls for all documentation and records.
For ease of verification, paragraph numbers have been aligned with the sub-clause numbers of ISO 9001:2015.
4.1 Understanding the organisation and its context
Saki Soft has determined external and internal issues relevant to the operation and the QMS, through the use of:-
External
Market research results through visiting exhibitions, particularly regarding competitors and meeting potential customers.
Reading Technical/IT journals.
These allow the organisation to identify processes needed to address the results of the research, and to introduce improvements, where required.
Internal
Reviews of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, including any political, economic, social, technological, legal or relevant environmental issues.
Business plans
Minutes of company Management Review Meetings (see paragraph 9.3)
The reviews are recorded in a Business Risk Analysis matrix, covered in more detail in paragraph 4.2.
Business plans are based on the external issues outlined above, and the resulting QMS is reviewed once per year as part of Management Review.
Saki Soft Quality Manual, Issue 5, 1st July 2017, Page 5 of 24

5 LEADERSHIP
5.1 Leadership and commitment
5.1.1 General
As part of his commitment, the MD is responsible for communicating the importance of complying with the QMS through involvement in induction and ongoing training and awareness, and is fully accountable for its effectiveness. To achieve this, the MD has established and communicated a Quality Policy (see paragraph 5.2 and page 22) and ensured that Quality Objectives, where applicable, have been established and performance measured (see paragraph 6.2). To ensure proper performance of the Saki Soft QMS and its impact on the company’s business processes, the MD carries out formal reviews once per year (see paragraph 9.3) and ensures that adequate resources are made available (see paragraph 7.1).
5.1.2 Customer focus
The MD has the responsibility for establishing, implementing, and maintaining the company's customer focus, and shall ensure that customer needs and expectations are determined and converted into requirements and that these requirements are fully understood and met (see paragraph 8.2). In addition, the MD will ensure that risks and opportunities are determined and addressed and that customer satisfaction is maintained and improved (see paragraph 9.1.2) by ensuring that the QMS is fully integrated into the organisation’s business processes.
5.2 Policy
The Saki Soft Quality Policy established by the MD is shown on page 22 of this manual and is displayed in the office, and in the Saki Soft web-site. This policy will be reviewed at least once per year at Management Review to ensure its continuing suitability.
5.3 Organisational roles, responsibilities and authorities
The MD has ensured that responsibilities and authorities have been defined and communicated in Job Descriptions covering the tasks of the staff. An Organisational Chart has been published and is shown on page 23. Although not a requirement of ISO 9001:2015, the MD has appointed the Admin/HR Executive as the Management Representative (MR) responsible for the implementation and maintenance of the QMS and compliance with ISO 9001:2015, and any relevant external communications regarding the QMS. The MR is also responsible for reporting on the performance of the QMS and, in particular, the results of the audits (see 9.2), during Management Review.
Saki Soft Quality Manual, Issue 5, 1st July 2017, Page 8 of 24
6 PLANNING
6.1 Actions to address risks and opportunities
The MD is responsible for ensuring that all Saki Soft activities are properly planned, to ensure that the QMS can achieve its intended results and achieve improvement, including actions to address risks and opportunities, and the evaluation of their effectiveness.
In addition, following the higher-level Business Risk Analysis outlined in paragraph 4.1, more detailed risk assessments are carried out on all new processes and procedures, in line with a documented process risk assessment procedure. Ref. Saki Soft Process Risk Assessment Procedure
6.2 Quality objectives and planning to achieve them
Examples of general quality objectives include;
On-time delivery
Response times to customer enquiries, complaints etc.
Increases in customer satisfaction
Reductions in customer complaints
Specific current quality objectives are recorded in a separate document ‘Saki Soft ‘Quality Objectives and Register’ maintained by the MR. Performance against these objectives is measured and reviewed as well as the objectives themselves, and results formally reported at Management Review (see paragraph 9.3). When objectives are not achieved, the action taken is recorded in the register.
Ref. Saki Soft Quality Objectives and Register
6.3 Planning of changes
When needs for change have been identified (e.g. following audits, nonconformities, Management Review etc.) these are carried out in a controlled manner, including any associated changes to documents (see paragraph 7.5.3).
Saki Soft Quality Manual, Issue 5, 1st July 2017, Page 9 of 24
7 SUPPORT
7.1 Resources
People, Infrastructure and Work Environment
The MD has determined the staffing levels for the organisation and is also responsible for ensuring that capable equipment is made available for the operations, including computers, process equipment, etc., and support activities such as the Saki Soft computer system. Routine maintenance of the buildings is under the control of the landlord.
In addition, the MD is responsible for providing and maintaining a suitable working environment achieve conformity of products and services, as required.
Monitoring and measurement resources and measurement traceability
At this time Saki Soft does not use any monitoring or measuring equipment in its operations. Clause 7.1.5 ‘Monitoring and measuring resources’, therefore, does not apply within the scope of the QMS as allowed in clause 4.3 of the standard.
Organisational knowledge
Saki Soft ensures that the knowledge required to effectively operate the schools is gained from appropriate sources, including:-
Internal analyses of nonconformities and corrective actions, improvements, and generally shared information at regular staff meetings.
Technical/IT journals, academic institutions, conferences etc.
Where required, such knowledge is transferred to staff through appropriate training.
7.2 Competence
Competence requirements for all staff whose jobs affect conformance to product requirements have been identified and are shown in relevant Job Descriptions.
In addition, Saki Soft considers training to be essential to the continued success of its business. It is the policy of the company to give all staff ongoing 'Awareness' training and this will be an integral part of 'Induction Training' for future employees (see paragraph 7.3). Following Induction Training, appropriate further training is carried out and all members of Saki Soft staff are aware of the procedures with which they have to comply, and against which they will be audited. Training needs are identified within the organisation by the MD, Admin/HR Executive and Project/Senior Project Managers as required, supported by informal ongoing staff appraisals. Training is normally administered by the under the control of Admin/HR Executive.
Training needs are met, wherever possible, by in-house training. Where this is not possible, the relevant manager will recommend an external course to fulfil the need, for approval by the MD.
All training will be recorded in individuals’ personnel files, which will identify training needs, the training carried out and evidence of the effectiveness of the training.
Saki Soft Quality Manual, Issue 5, 1st July 2017, Page 10 of 24
Ref. Saki Soft Training Procedure7.3 Awareness
All members of staff are made aware of the Quality Policy, the company’s Quality Objectives, the benefits of improved performance and the results of failing to comply with the QMS, through induction training and, where required, ongoing training.
7.4 Communication
Internal communications are by regular verbal means and, where required, by notices, memos and recorded reviews/meetings, together with external e-mails. 7.5 Documented information
7.5.1 General
General
As indicated in paragraph 4.3, Saki Soft has elected to have a documented Quality Manual with relevant documented procedures, some of which are included in the manual, supported by appropriate templates, where required, taking into account the size of the organisation, the complexity of the processes (see Process Map on page 21) and the competence of staff.
Maintenance of documented information
The Quality Manual and all documented QMS procedures, together with associated documents, are maintained in accordance with the Saki Soft ‘Document Control Procedure’, which indicates the process of control, approval, review and necessary amendments of documents within the QMS.
Ref. Saki Soft Document Control Procedure
Retention of documented information
Saki Soft maintains records appropriate to the company to demonstrate conformance to the requirements and the effective operation of the QMS.
Hard-copy records will be maintained, where required, in filing cabinets accessible to relevant staff for a minimum of three years unless specifically agreed otherwise. When such records are no longer required, they will be disposed of under the authority of the MD.
Where relevant, specific records will be show in paragraphs of this manual, or in procedures.
Because of the dependence on computerised applications and communications, there is a formal process covering back-up, crash recovery, virus controls and passwords, under the control of the Admin/HR Executive. Back up of the Saki Soft QMS system is made on a weekly basis as a full back up of the server taken at the end of every week. This is done through the use of a removable hard drive that is taken off-site every Friday. Evidence that the back-up has been taken is the modified dates shown in the files that have been backed up. In addition, an anti-virus program is installed in the server, which is maintained by an approved IT service provider.
Saki Soft Quality Manual, Issue 5, 1st July 2017, Page 11 of 24
8 OPERATION
8.1 Operational planning and control
The MD is responsible for ensuring that all Saki Soft business practices are properly planned, including the monitoring and measuring processes, from enquiry handling through to satisfactory completion of projects. In the event that any processes are outsourced, Saki Soft ensures full control over these processes through the use of contracts between Saki Soft and the outsourced operations (see paragraph 8.4).
8.2 Requirements for products and services
8.2.1 Customer communication Customer communications are normally verbal, with the overall aim of meeting customer requirements, with particular reference to product information, enquiries, orders, and amendments. Details of customer feedback and complaints are included in a documented procedure.
Ref. Saki Soft Customer Feedback and Improvement Procedure
8.2.2 Determining the requirements for products and services
Saki Soft ensures that customers’ requirements are clearly understood, together with requirements not specified by them but necessary for Saki Softs operations, and any statutory, regulatory and legal requirements. 8.2.3 Review of the requirements for products and services
In all cases, the customers’ requirements, including any requested changes, are reviewed before a commitment is made, to ensure that their requirements are clearly defined, that any verbal requirements are agreed by repeating the request back to the parent and that Saki Soft has the ability to meet the requirements before accepting the requirement.
This process is under the control of the Admin/HR Executive. Enquiries are generally received by telephone and, for a new customer, details are recorded.
Usually, the opportunities are published on Portals, in line with the flow diagram on the next page.
8.2.4 Changes to requirements for products and services
All required changes to products and services are properly reviewed, approved by the MD and recorded, including any actions resulting from the review. Such changes are communicated to relevant persons.

8.3 Design and development of products and services
In general, the development of new software and/or applications for clients is considered to be ‘Design & Development’.
Saki Soft properly plans the design project in line with the proprietary ‘Agile’ protocols (see next page). All relevant stages are retained as documented information in the form of records.
Inputs relating to the clients’ requirements are provided by the client, including functional and performance requirements, applicable statutory and regulatory requirements and, where applicable, information derived from previous similar designs.
The output of design and development is in the form of an initial draft application, and is usually established at the clients’ premises.
At suitable stages, the application is subject to ongoing review and approval by the client to evaluate the ability of the application to meet client requirements, and to identify any problems and propose necessary actions.
Appropriate tests shall be performed to ensure that the application meets the requirements.
The final application is subject to final validation test and sign-off by the client.
In the event that changes are required at any stage in the overall process, these shall be reviewed, verified and validated, as appropriate, and approved before implementation.

Saki Soft Quality Manual, Issue 5, 1st July 2017, Page 14 of 24
8.4 Control of externally provided processes, products, and services
Saki Soft recognises the need to control its purchasing processes to ensure that the purchased product conforms to Saki Soft’s requirements. The main application is to the purchase of relevant software or the ‘purchase’ of contract IT specialists for clients either as individuals or from a service supplier. As a policy, Saki Soft requires all contractors to be registered companies and, in all cases, must be ‘approved suppliers’.
This process is under the control of the Admin/HR Executive (see page 15).
Evaluation of suppliers
Suppliers are initially evaluated based on their ability to supply Saki Soft contract requirements, against any one of the following criteria;
A. Service providers that are certified to ISO 9001 in the scope required by Saki Soft. Such suppliers will be required to send copies of their certificates for filing.
B. Service providers that have been audited or otherwise verified by authorised Saki Soft personnel (e.g. MR). An audit report, visit report or other appropriate report will be filed as evidence of the evaluation.
C. Service providers with a demonstrable record of satisfactory supply over a one-year period. This will be based on a minimum of 80% satisfactory deliveries, which are both correct to requirements and on time.
D. Individual service providers (contractors) with acceptable qualifications relevant to Saki Soft requirements or the requirements of the client.
T. Suppliers that do not meet any of the above criteria, but are temporarily necessary for Saki Soft’s needs. Products or services received from such suppliers will be subjected to specific receiving inspection as defined by the MR until the supplier is able to satisfy criteria A or B or C. Results must be fully recorded.
Suppliers that meet at least one of the above criteria will be recorded in an Approved Suppliers’ List (ASL) and only such suppliers will be used.
All existing suppliers will be re-evaluated every year, using criterion C. In the event that a previously satisfactory supplier has not supplied for more than one year, this supplier will be removed from the ASL until it either satisfies criteria A or B. Where such suppliers are needed for immediate supply, then the requirements of criterion T will apply.
Purchasing Information
Saki Soft Quality Manual, Issue 5, 1st July 2017, Page 15 of 24
As indicated above, purchasing is carried out under the control of the Admin/HR Executive, normally by e-mail or, where appropriate, verbally followed up by confirmation e-mails containing information clearly describing the product and/or service ordered, including where appropriate:
Requirements for approval or qualification of product and/or service, procedures, processes, equipment and personnel.
Any system requirements (e.g. QMS, EMS etc.)
Purchase orders are authorised by the Admin/HR Executive.
Verification of purchased product
Where software or hardware is required for a specific requirement, this will normally be purchased by the respective Project Manager or a member of the team, who will verify the quality and specification of the product including, where relevant, the version number(s), at the supplier’s premises. Where purchased items are delivered to our premises, a thorough quality check is carried out by the recipient and, subsequently, by the appropriate personnel.
8.5 Production and service provision
8.5.1 Control of production and service provision
There are no separately documented procedures covering services provided. However, all production operations are carried out by fully qualified and trained personnel. 8.5.1 (f) Validation of Processes
At this time, all Saki Soft operations are checked by the relevant IT specialist and normally subject to client approval. Clause 8.5.1 (f), therefore, does not apply within the scope of the QMS as allowed in clause 4.3.
8.5.2 Identification and traceability
All purchased software is clearly identified by name and/or part number, together with version identification. Where applicable, traceability is achieved through license and/or serial numbers.
Identification and traceability of individuals is through job description and name/address etc. 8.5.3 Property belonging to customers or external providers
The main application of this requirement is to the customers’ premises in which operations are carried out and to any equipment on which operations are carried out. Great care is taken to ensure that no damage occurs due to Saki Soft activities, and any accidental damage will be reported to the customer to agree action.
In addition to the above, customers’ intellectual property (e.g. drawings, specifications etc.) and any personal data received as part of the projects, is treated under strict confidentiality, and not divulged to any third party unless authorised in writing by the customer concerned.
8.5.4 Preservation
Saki Soft Quality Manual, Issue 5, 1st July 2017, Page 16 of 24
Apart from some minor storage of small items or software, Saki Soft does not have formal stores. Service provision is not finished until all the specified activities have been satisfactorily completed and the related documentation is available and authorised.
8.5.5 Post-delivery activities
The main examples of post-delivery activities are the Help-desk operations and end-user support, which is available either by telephone or on line.
8.5.6 Control of changes
In line with paragraph 8.2.4, all changes to products and services are properly reviewed, approved by the MD and recorded, including any actions resulting from the review.
8.6 Release of products and services
The first application of this requirement is to the receipt and inspection of product or services from our suppliers, which could be into the Saki Soft office or directly at sites (see paragraph 7.4.3). The ‘inspection’ is carried out by the designated official within Saki Soft, and acceptance or rejection for wrong delivery or damage is recorded on the relevant documentation. This will normally be on the delivery note, a copy of which is retained and filed. Saki Soft shall retain records of all defective goods received, if any. This information, when analysed, will be used to re-rate the supplier if necessary.
The second application is to the verification of contractor qualifications/experience prior to placing with the clients. This is done by the Admin/HR Executive against the specific client’s requirements, and recorded on the HR documentation.
‘In-process’ and ‘final’ inspection of work is carried out on site by the relevant Saki Soft personnel and the results recorded.
8.7 Control of nonconforming outputs
Nonconformities may be identified at receipt (i.e. wrong delivery or damage) or identified during operations. In all cases, nonconformities are corrected by rectification or repair and, where appropriate, by approved concession by authorised Saki Soft personnel and, if required, by the customer.
Details have been included in a combined documented procedure, which includes correction and corrective actions that may follow the initial correction. Ref. Saki Soft Customer Feedback and Improvement Procedure
Saki Soft Quality Manual, Issue 5, 1st July 2017, Page 17 of 24
9 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
9.1 Monitoring, measurement, analysis and evaluation
9.1.1 General
The MD determines the needs and methods of monitoring and measuring, including evaluating the performance and the effectiveness of the quality management system.
9.1.2 Customer satisfaction
Questionnaires are sent periodically to allow measurements of customer satisfaction to be made. These Customer Satisfaction Forms are sent at the end of projects, or annually for longer term contracts, and are subject to review against set objectives (see paragraph 6.2).
Ref. Saki Soft Customer Feedback & Improvement Procedure
9.1.3 Analysis and evaluation
During the course of business, Saki Soft collects and analyses appropriate data to determine the suitability and effectiveness of the implemented QMS, and to any identify trends leading to improvements, particularly preventive action. This includes data generated by measuring and monitoring activities and other relevant sources.
Examples of data that are analysed include:
Customer feedback information
Internal audit reports
Product and service nonconformities
Supplier rating information
Relevant health & safety data
Saki Soft Quality Manual, Issue 5, 1st July 2017, Page 18 of 24
The main application of ‘statistical techniques’ is to the sampling of purchased product against the delivery note and purchase order, before accepting the items.
9.2 Internal audit
Saki Soft carries out internal audits using trained auditors under the control of the MR or, where required, outsourced to an approved consultant or audit company (see paragraph 8.4). Audits are carried out once per year prior to Management Review (see paragraph 9.3).
Ref. Saki Soft Internal Audit Procedure
9.3 Management review
9.3.1 General
Management review is an integral part of the Saki Soft QMS and takes place at a minimum frequency of onjce per year. Reviews will be carried out by the MD and the MR, based on relevant inputs from Saki Soft staff. Results of the management review will be recorded by the MR in the form of action plans approved by the MD, or in formal meeting minutes. The MR will distribute the action plans/minutes to relevant members of staff who will complete agreed actions as recorded and report the results to the MR as inputs to the next management review.
9.3.2 Management review inputs
Reviews will be conducted against the following minimum subjects:
01.The status of actions from previous management reviews
02. Changes in external and internal issues that are relevant to the QMS
03. Customer satisfaction04. Feedback from relevant interested parties
05. The extent to which quality objectives have been met
06. Process performance and conformity of products and services
07. Nonconformities and corrective actions
08. Monitoring and measurement results
09. Audit results
10. The performance of external providers
11. The adequacy of resources
12. The effectiveness of actions taken to address risks and opportunities
13. Opportunities for improvement
14. Any other business
15. Date of next meeting
Saki Soft Quality Manual, Issue 5, 1st July 2017, Page 19 of 24

a) Improvement opportunities.
b) Need for changes to the QMS.
c) Resource needs.
10 IMPROVEMENT
10.1 General
Saki Soft plans and manages the processes necessary for continual improvement of the QMS by ensuring that all employees are aware of the QMS Policy regarding continual improvement, and by establishing and measuring performance against relevant improvement targets. Specific sources of information include data from internal audits and corrective action. In addition, continual improvement is a permanent subject of management review.
Ref. Saki Soft Customer Feedback & Improvement Procedure
10.2 Nonconformity and corrective action
It is the policy of Saki Soft to ensure that, whenever nonconformities or potential nonconformities are identified, in addition to the planned immediate action (correction), the cause(s) of the nonconformities will be identified, and appropriate corrective action agreed and taken.
Ref. Saki Soft Customer Feedback & Improvement Procedure
10.3 Continual improvement
At this time, there is no formal employee suggestion scheme but employees are encouraged to share ideas for improvement with their supervisors/managers or with the MR, and these will be discussed at Management Review. In addition, employees have an opportunity to identify possible improvements in staff questionnaires which are completed once per year.
