Book excerpt: Designed and written by professionals with extensive ISO 9000 Certification experience, the techniques and forms in this Manual have been used successfully to achieve certification at over 50 companies. The 90-Day ISO 9000 Manual provides the basic system you need in place to satisfy an ISO 9000 Audit. First, ISO 9000 is explained and the registration process described in detail. Next, you are taken through exactly what you need to do to prepare for an audit. You are given the working instructions and forms you need to meet certification requirements. The forms are unique and have been designed specifically for ISO 9000 standards. Since ISO 9000 is not designed to be a TQM program the authors have also included a special section that provides the information, instructions and forms needed for quality audits such as Q94 or Z1. If you want to take your program further than just ISO 9000 certification, the material is available to you. The 90-Day ISO 9000 Manual includes the latest published draft of Q91 DIS, which is the formal public review copy. Companies that have recently been audited have noticed that certain improvements in documentation have been expected by registrars. These improvements require rewording the old standards. The new standards have been incorporated in this manual and several schemes have been modified. The authors of The 90-Day ISO 9000 Manual have extensive experience working on ISO 9000 standards review, consulting with companies developing programs, registrar experience and international ISO 9000 activities. This manual will reflect a practical approach to registration for the next five years.

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.

Bergh demystify the process of complying with this quality standard by laying out the basics of what ISO 9000 is, what it means to your organization, how it fits into your overall quality efforts, and why you may be required to apply.

In clear, nontechnical terms, the authors show you how to interpret the standard for your business; determine the cost and the length of time you need to invest in the certification process; achieve compliance and certification quickly through a 14-step process; focus on the areas of quality assurance that are subject to a rigorous audit during certification, such as management responsibility, design control, corrective action, and training; and gauge your organization's readiness.

Download or read book The Quality Systems Manual written by Terence J. Hall and published by . This book was released on 1995-10-16 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past four years, a committee of professional interests representing industry, academia, consumers and governments has been meeting to develop a definitive standard to take Quality Systems into the 21st century. In July 1994 ISO 9000 was announced to the world. This is the ISO 9000 Family (9001/2/3) as it tends to be called. There is now an even greater demand from companies to gain formal accreditation ? particularly since the standard has worldwide recognition. The Quality Systems Manual is a detailed and definitive guide to the installation and maintenance of an ISO 9001 Quality System within a company. It is an intensely practical guide, laid out to follow the exact format of the 20 clauses of ISO 9001. It explains in plain English exactly how they should be applied to your business. The official ISO 9001 paper provides only a slim seven-page statement of the basic requirements that have to be met by a Quality System; it supplies none of the required methodology. It tells you what but not how. The missing link between the rules and successful registration comes from knowing how to take the 20 clauses and apply them to everyday business situations. This is where The Quality Systems Manual is so valuable. It is relevant for every industry, whether manufacturing or service, and will be used by Quality Managers, and those assigned to implement and maintain this new standard. Because it is designed as a practical guide to enable companies to register, there is a special section called Preparing for Assessment which covers all the nuances needed to optimise the chance of success when being formally assessed. TickIT (ISO 9000-3), the equivalent standard for software development, is also examined in detail and shows precisely how it integrates with ISO 9001. It has been calculated that a third of the cost a company incurs in achieving registration is spent on fees for consultants to help explain the rules and prepare for assessment. For the cover price of The Quality Systems Manual you could buy yourself about one hour of a consultant?s time.
