INTRODUCTION

The ISO 9001 standard was designed on the initiative of major principals for their suppliers, with a view to quality assurance, i.e. providing confidence in the ability to supply products that meet customer requirements. Gradually, the quality approach spread beyond the shop floor to cover all areas of the company, and then all sectors of industry, commercial and non-commercial services.

As the scope of application grew, so did the need to customize and adapt requirements to the needs of organizations with different structures and ecosystems, while maintaining the universality of these requirements.

It is in the light of this development of quality approaches that we should consider the need to take account of the external and internal context in the definition and operation of a quality management system.
