Risk based thinking has inbuilt provision for preventive action. Choose true or false

ISO 9001:2015 emphasizes risk-based thinking as a fundamental principle for planning and implementing a quality management system. This approach requires organizations to consider potential risks and opportunities that could affect the conformity of products and services and customer satisfaction.

In previous versions of ISO 9001, there was a separate clause for "preventive action." However, in ISO 9001:2015, the concept of preventive action is integrated into risk-based thinking. By proactively identifying and addressing risks, an organization inherently takes steps to prevent potential nonconformities or undesirable outcomes from occurring. This proactive approach is the essence of preventive action.

Since risk-based thinking involves anticipating potential problems and taking steps to mitigate them before they happen, it inherently includes the concept of preventive action.
