DNV Approved Training on Process Approach & Criticality Analysis

This International Standard promotes the use of a process based approach when developing, implementing and improving the effectiveness of a quality management system, to enhance customer satisfaction by meeting customer and regulatory requirements.


For an organization to operate effectively, it must establish and manage numerous interconnected activities. An activity or set of activities using resources, and managed to enable the transformation of inputs into outputs, can be considered as a process. Often the output from one process directly forms the input to the next.


The application of a system of processes within an organization, together with the identification and interactions of these processes, and their management to produce the desired outcome, can be referred to as the “process approach”.
