The core of a quality management system according to ISO 9001 is the systematic and continuous improvement of the organization in order to achieve the planned goals. This idea goes back to the Japanese management philosophy "Kaizen", which is usually translated as "change for the better". This continuous improvement process (CIP), formerly also known as "continuous improvement process" (CIP), aims to continuously achieve small improvements in process quality, process quality, product quality, delivery capability and service quality.
