API Spec Q1, 10^th Edition Training

API Spec Q1, 10^th edition promotes the integration of a process approach into the application of specific sections when developing, implementing, and improving the effectiveness of a quality management system. This provides for continuous control over the stated requirements, as well as facilitating the overlap of processes. For an organization to function effectively, it has to determine and manage numerous linked activities. An activity that transforms inputs into outputs can be considered a process. Process activities include determination of needs throughout the organization, provision of resources and product realization, identification of the proper sequence or order in a series of activities, monitoring and measuring the effectiveness of the activities performed, and applying changes or corrections to those activities as needed.

Goal of the Specification

The goal of API Spec Q1, 10^th edition is to provide the minimum requirements for the development of a quality management system that promotes reliability and provides for continual improvement, emphasizes prevention of nonconformities, and strives to minimize variation and waste. It is not the intent of this specification to imply uniformity in the structure of quality management systems or uniformity of documentation.
