Abstract

Process approach is one of the most important and generally applied orientations in organizations management. It is a base of many management concepts, such as lean management, six sigma or quality management systems compliant with the requirements of ISO 9000 standards. Guidelines about the use of process approach evolved together with publishing the following editions of ISO 9000 series standards. Over the years modified definitions in terminological standard of ISO 9000 appeared, as well as requirements about quality management systems in ISO 9001 and additional guides ISO 9004 standard expanded. The authors of this article analyzed the essence and evolution of process approach in the light of records in ISO 9000 standards. They found that information about process approach contained in each standard complemented each other, but constituted only the basis of effective implementation of process approach in organizations.
