Requirement for goals and objectives and measurements to deploy the quality policy to be defined in the business plan... 

There are two requirements for goals the one mentioned above and that specified in clause 4.1.4 under Business plans. Quite why goals are addressed twice is a mystery, but clearly one needs to specify goals before one can start to produce a business plan. However it is not uncommon to find business plans comprising nothing else but goals and objectives, with no substance at all on how these goals and objectives are to be accomplished.

It will be very difficult for companies to distinguish between those resources which serve quality and those which serve other objectives. There may be some departments that can be eliminated, such as the legal, insurance, catering, medical, or publicity departments, but in a company-wide quality culture all departments etc. will be included.

While the plan itself is not auditable by third parties, it may be auditable by second parties i.e. customers. The third party or registrar is entitled to examine the plan to ascertain that it is what it proclaims to be. The particulars are of no concern except those aspects relating to quality, such as the resources, quality objectives, customer satisfaction plans, and performance metrics. Whatever is stated on these aspects, the auditors will expect to see evidence that the business plan is not merely a wish list and that provisions have been made to enable implementation through the quality system.
