TAGBILARAN CITY, BOHOL. Recurring ISO 9001:2015 audits can be tricky and may have a big impact on an organization's Quality Management System's (QMS) overall effectiveness and sustainability.

Organizations are given a systematic way to evaluate their QMS over time by repeat audits. Through this method, the management can pinpoint areas for improvement and put remedial measures in place, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

In addition, process owners are able to recognize possible risks and weaknesses in their processes by conducting recurrent evaluations. By implementing risk mitigation techniques, this proactive strategy lessens the possibility of non-conformities and operational disruptions.

In this regard, the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) in Central Visayas underwent the Repeat Audit – ISO 9001:2015 held at ATI-VII Training Complex, Cabawan District, Tagbilaran City, Bohol on November 17, 2023 with a total of 35 ATI staff participating the activity thru Ms. Gracia F. Arado, Ph.D., Training Center Superintendent (TCS) II leading the body.

ATI Central Visayas is one of the six (6) Regional Training Centers including the Central Office to undergo audit from TUV-SUD, an external auditor for the Re-Certification of ISO 2001:2015 for the Quality Management System (QMS) to further strengthen its drive for excellence in public service.

Conducting the audit is Mr. Xavier Lance Dy of TUV-SUD together with the presence of IQA Team Leader from ATI Central Office, Ms. Athena A. Baguisi, Media Production Specialist III with Ms. Marlene Q. Pintac, Head, Records Office.

Regular ISO 9001:2015 audits are an essential tool for businesses that value quality control. It encourages constant development, reduces risks, upholds a culture focused on quality, and eventually helps the company succeed in the long run in a cutthroat market.
