Purpose: This study aims at the strengths and weaknesses in the application of the ISO 9001: 2015 quality management system and its impact on the competitive performance of the company, and to find out the reasons why the company did not obtain the ISO 9001: 2015 international specifications certificate, which it strives to obtain, which has a relationship with the competitive performance of the company (prefabricated building factory / Iraqi Ministry of Construction and Housing).
Theoretical framework: The lack of literature on the study at the Iraqi Ministry of Construction and Housing and Prefabricated Building Factory aimed to identify the strengths and weaknesses to determine the effects of applying the international standard. A related study on Asian port performance was analyzed and listed in the study based on a thematic approach.
Design/methodology/approach: The researchers in the company (prefabricated building factory) relied on interviews with top management, engineers in production lines, and technicians (Annex 1) by presenting questions to them (Annex 2) using the interview tool.
Findings: The most significant findings identified by researchers can be presented after discussing the requirements of the standard (ISO 9001:2015), vision, plan, and evaluation, and they attempt to make proposals to address cases of non-conformity diagnosed under the checklists and propose a set of recommendations related to the subject of the study.
Research, Practical & Social Implications: Research and Practical and Social Implications: This research provides the contributor with user inputs to find out the root causes of the aforementioned problem and aims to apply the remaining clauses of the International Standard Certification (ISO 9001:2015).
Originality/Value: To obtain the organization's international standards certificate (ISO 9001: 2015) in terms of its vision, plan, and evaluation item and to impose its application on other items of international standards, this study helps to identify the organization's strengths and weaknesses so that weaknesses can be avoided and strengths can be strengthened.
