Master Thesis: ‘Gap Analysis and Recommendations for Implementing ISO 9001: 2008 QMS for Small Scale
Enterprise’—A case study at Densel Baltic OÜ.
The master thesis outlines the present operation processes and management system of Densel Baltic OÜ.
Furthermore, an action research gap analysis is performed to identify gaps of the present management system
against ISO 9001:2008 QMS requirements. Also, motives, critical factors, barriers and benefits of
implementation of ISO 9001: 2008 QMS in Densel Baltic OÜ are discussed. Additionally, detailed
recommendations for improving current operation process and to fulfill compliance of ISO 9001:2008 are
presented. Finally, a project plan is developed, based on the availability of resources at Densle Baltic OÜ for
ISO 9001:2008 standards implementation.
