Is prevention no more relevant?


Is prevention no more relevant?

General Secretary at Iranian Society for Quality
ISO/DIS 9001:2015 is to remove the requirement for preventive action clause as explained in its A.4. Does it mean that a QMS is no longer about prevention, as some people want us to believe? If that was the case, why is that the standard specifies the followings among others:
Clause 6.1 b) prevent, or reduce, undesired effects of processes in 4.1 & 4.2,
Clause 8.7 prevent unintended use or delivery of product & service,
Clause 10.1 improve processes to prevent nonconformities.
I don't reckon prevention is no more relevant. What do you think?
