MCC Informational Breakfast And Seminar Friday

The McHenry County College Workforce, Community and Business Programs at the Shah Center will host an ISO 9001 Informational Breakfast and seminar from 7:45 to 9 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 23 at the MCC Shah Center, 4100 W. Shamrock Lane in McHenry.

Wendy Parr of Parr Consulting, Inc. will summarize the changes to ISO 9001, which are scheduled to be released this month. Those who are interested in retaining their quality management system certification will have three years to recertify to the new version of IS0 9001:2015.

The event is ideal for top management and those who will be responsible for transitioning their organization to the new standard. ISO 9001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.  It is the most popular standard in the ISO 9000 series and the only standard in the series to which organizations can certify.

All organizations that use ISO 9001 are encouraged to transition to ISO 9001:2015 as soon as possible. This includes not only organizations that are certified to ISO 9001:2008, but also any organizations involved in training or certifying others. To help companies get started making changes now, MCC is offering two courses, including Internal  Auditor  Training  on Nov. 13  and 20 and  an  Implementation  Workshop  on 
December 4.

Cost of the breakfast workshop is $10. Use course code: NTE S42 001 to register. To register, call (815) 455-8588 or register online at www.mchenry.edu/myMCC.
