In addition, ISO 9000 Quality Management System is a flexible standard that can be applied to organizations operating in tourism, finance, insurance, health, and other service sectors as well as production organizations. The model lists a set of requirements for a basic management system based on common sense and provides valid tools to implement it. At the same time, it aims to reduce costs, improve the control of the management system, respond to customer expectations and increase efficiency in the entire organization.
ISO 9001: 2015 Quality Management System includes the basic principles of Total Quality Management. These principles are listed below.

Leadership: Leaders provide unity of purpose and management of the organization. These should create and maintain the internal environment in which individuals are fully involved in achieving the goals of the organization.
Involvement of people: People at all levels are the core of an organization, and their full involvement ensures that their abilities are used for the benefit of the organization.
Process approach: The desired result is obtained more efficiently when activities and related resources are managed as a process.
System approach to management: Defining, understanding, and managing processes related to each other as a system contributes to the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization in achieving the goals.
Continuous improvement: Continuous improvement of the total performance of the organization should be the permanent goal of the organization.
The realistic approach to decision making: Effective decisions are based on data analysis and information.
Mutually beneficial supplier relationships: An organization and its suppliers are independent of each other, and the mutual benefit relationship reinforces the ability of both to create added value.
