Q9 Defined
ONIT developed Q9 because many times after an issue is identified, contained, and corrective actions are scheduled to be implemented, some of the corrective actions are never fully implemented and/or verified.
This may be due to another issue becoming top priority, personnel changes or human error. Q9 ensures the issue does not reoccur or possibly snowball to an even larger one in the future.

Q9
Q9 is based on three key elements; Products, Quality, and Teamwork.
Every product needs quality standards to be implemented within a team environment.
When a standard is not implemented correctly or on-time, companies lose money and their valuable reputation.

ONIT will verify all assigned corrective actions were implemented correctly and on time. In addition, ONIT will conduct a follow up audit within 6 months of
project completion to ensure the corrective actions that were verified are still in place and working. This step is crucial to ensuring your company does not experience the issue again or possibly a snowball issue if the appropriate
actions are not followed up on.
