Previously, the focus was mainly on documentation, which could be problematic for SMEs with little resources. ISO 9001:2015, on the other hand, emphasized the importance of a process-based approach and risk management, urging small firms to identify and streamline their core processes while focusing on areas where there is the greatest opportunity for improvement.
