Book excerpt: An in-depth, accessible guide to the intricacies of QS-9000 With QS-9000 certification deadlines just around the corner, you want to be sure your company is on the right track to meeting requirements. This timely and indispensable guide answers the most commonly asked questions about QS-9000 compliancy, offering in-depth explanations as well as "capsule answers" for quick reference. What are the characteristics of a QS-9000 quality system? A QS-9000 quality system is a documented, self-improving union of resources and activities that governs every aspect of a process that affects quality. What firms are required to register with QS-9000? Direct suppliers of production materials, parts, or key finishing services—and certain other suppliers—must register. What are the advantages or benefits of QS-9000 registration? It improves customer confidence, provides access to markets, improves competitive standing, and reduces supplier quality assurance program costs. What quality tools and techniques are mandated by QS-9000? QS-9000 requires the use of mistake-proofing methods, disciplined problem-solving methods, and the use of cross-functional teams for decision making. What are some of the common perils and pitfalls to effective system implementation? Pitfalls you should avoid include trying to implement "from the bottom up," doing "just enough" to get registered, getting carried away with documentation, and springing the system on the work force all at once.

Download or read book Passing Your ISO 9000 QS 9000 Audit written by Don Sanders and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1997-08-14 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By mid-1996, over 10,000 companies in the United States had achieved ISO registration-a staggering jump from the 100 registered at the end of 1991. Why the explosive growth? For many, ISO registration acts as proof that the company has an outstanding and continuously improving quality process. As registration continues to grow at a rate of more than 400 companies a month, it's clear that the ISO/QS phenomenon shows no sign of slowing down. To become ISO/QS-9000 registered, a company needs an effective plan. Because the average process can take 12 to 18 months, it's important to know exactly what steps need to be taken - from start to finish. And that's where this book comes in. Passing Your ISO 9000/QS-9000 Audit is a clearly written, step-by-step guide to passing the external audit and getting your company ISO/QS-9000 registered. Passing Your ISO 9000/QS-9000 Audit is ideal for "ISO champions" and "management representatives"-those individuals within a company charged with implementing the ISO/QS-9000 process-as well as corporate executives interested in knowing more about the program. Using this book as a guide, any ISO champion should be able to effectively prepare his or her company for successful ISO registration.

Book excerpt: This third edition of the SME Mining Engineering Handbook reaffirms its international reputation as "the handbook of choice" for today's practicing mining engineer. It distills the body of knowledge that characterizes mining engineering as a disciplinary field and has subsequently helped to inspire and inform generations of mining professionals.Virtually all of the information is original content, representing the latest information from more than 250 internationally recognized mining industry experts. Within the handbook's 115 thought-provoking chapters are current topics relevant to today's mining professional: Analyzing how the mining and minerals industry will develop over the medium and long term--why such changes are inevitable, what this will mean in terms of challenges, and how they could be managed Explaining the mechanics associated with the multifaceted world of mine and mineral economics, from the decisions associated with how best to finance a single piece of high-value equipment to the long-term cash-flow issues associated with mine planning at a mature operation Describing the recent and ongoing technical initiatives and engineering developments in relation to robotics, automation, acid rock drainage, block caving optimization, or process dewatering methods Examining in detail the methods and equipment available to achieve efficient, predictable, and safe rock breaking, whether employing a tunnel boring machine for development work, mineral extraction using a mobile miner, or cast blasting at a surface coal operation Identifying the salient points that dictate which is the safest, most efficient, and most versatile extraction method to employ, as well as describing in detail how each alternative is engineered Discussing the impacts that social and environmental issues have on mining from the pre-exploration phase to end-of-mine issues and beyond, and how to manage these two increasingly important factors to the benefit of both the mining companies and other stakeholders
Download or read book Integrated Management Systems written by Chad Kymal and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2015-05-13 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updated to the latest standard changes including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and OHSAS 18001:2016 Includes guidance on integrating Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Organizations today are implementing stand-alone systems for their Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001, ISO/TS 16949, or AS 9100), Environmental Management System (ISO 14001), Occupational Health & Safety (ISO 18001), and Food Safety Management Systems (FSSC 22000). Stand-alone systems refer to the use of isolated document management structures resulting in the duplication of processes within one site for each of the management standardsQMS, EMS, OHSAS, and FSMS. In other words, the stand-alone systems duplicate training processes, document control, and internal audit processes for each standard within the company. While the confusion and lack of efficiency resulting from this decision may not be readily apparent to the uninitiated, this book will show the reader that there is a tremendous loss of value associated with stand-alone management systems within an organization. This book expands the understanding of an integrated management system (IMS) globally. It not only saves money, but more importantly it contributes to the maintenance and efficiency of business processes and conformance standards such as ISO 9001, AS9100, ISO/TS 16949, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, FSSC 22000, or other GFSI Standards.
