Correct Option: A
Explanation:

ISO 9001 is a widely recognized international quality management standard that provides a framework for organizations to implement and maintain a quality management system.

What is the purpose of a Quality Management System (QMS)?

  1. To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements

  2. To improve customer satisfaction

  3. To reduce production costs

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A QMS is a structured system of policies, procedures, and practices that an organization implements to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce production costs.

Which of the following is a key element of a QMS?

  1. Quality Policy

  2. Quality Objectives

  3. Quality Manual

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A QMS typically includes a Quality Policy that defines the organization's commitment to quality, Quality Objectives that specify measurable targets for quality improvement, and a Quality Manual that documents the QMS.
