Download or read book ISO 9001 2015 Handbook for Small and Medium Sized Businesses Third Edition written by Denise E. Robitaille and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook was developed to help small and medium-sized organizations better understand ISO 9001:2015. It is intended to facilitate implementation and improvement. The establishment, implementation, and maintenance of an ISO 9001compliant quality management system (QMS) should allow the organization to experience multiple benefits beyond the achievement of certification. Organizations should also see improvements in the quality of products, customer satisfaction, and process effectivenessall of which ultimately have a positive impact on the bottom line. It is expected that some readers will have already established a QMS. This handbook will serve to reinforce good practices and will help you better understand the intent and value of some of the requirements of ISO 9001. Since the handbook is especially focused on small and medium-sized organizations, the examples that are provided will have greater applicability and will enhance comprehension, again resulting in increased value. Implementing a QMS in a small organization is not easier or harder than it is in a large one. Resources are different; each organization has its own unique challenges, constraints, and advantages. The thing to always bear in mind is that this is your organization and these are your processes. ISO 9001:2015 defines the requirements, but it does not dictate the method of application. Utilizing this handbook should allow you to develop or rejuvenate your QMS so that it is a benefit to both you and your customer.

Download or read book Failure Mode and Effects Analysis FMEA for Small Business Owners and Non Engineers written by Marcia M. Weeden and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2015-11-28 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for small business owners and non-engineers such as researchers, business analysts, project managers, small non-profits, community groups, religious organizations, and others who want an assessment tool that can provide methods for: - identifying the areas or actions that may be at risk for failure - ranking the risks that they may be facing, and - determining the degree of threat being faced. While an FMEA is a tool of reliability engineering, this book sidesteps the complex approach that reliability engineering can take; therefore, it does not cover all aspects and applications of an FMEA. This book provides sufficient information about FMEAs, without requiring the expertise of an engineer or statistical analyst, to establish specifications and for making cost-effective, informed decisions. FMEAs are valuable for: - developing policies and standard operating procedures (SOPs) - developing system, design, and process requirements that eliminate or minimize the likelihood of failures - developing designs, methods, and test systems to ensure that errors or failures are automatically corrected, errors or failures are flagged for correction, the potential for errors or failures have been eliminated, or risks are reduced to acceptable levels - developing and evaluating of diagnostic systems, and - helping with design choices (trade-off analysis)
