Classification
Summary
A profession that audits and evaluates the organization's internal quality management system based on ISO standards and proposes improvements.
Description
Internal Quality Auditors (ISO-related) regularly audit whether quality management systems such as ISO9001 comply with requirements. First, they formulate an audit plan and create checklists. They collect evidence through interviews, document checks, and on-site evaluations at the site, and identify non-conformities. They compile audit reports, propose and follow up on corrective actions, and support organizational quality improvement by cycling through the PDCA cycle. Through internal audits, they contribute not only to maintaining certification but also to improving business process efficiency and reducing risks.
Future Outlook
The importance of quality management remains unchanged, and demand for audit skills integrated with DX and risk management will increase in the future.
