:) Greetings:

I am looking for a AS9100 Rev B package that will produce a condensed procedures manual. I heard that some companies have AS9100 Procedures manual sets that are under 30 pages for the entire procedures manual that is 100% compliant. Is that possible and where can I purchase software to do this?

Thank you in Advance!

Are you looking for canned procedures?

As to a procedures manual of under 30 pages, it depends upon the complexity of what you do. Can you be more specific?

Hello Dr. Kava and welcome to the Cove,

First - I must ask you not to post the same question in multiple forums. I have deleted your other posts, as they ask the same question.

Now - to answer your question - yes - these are available - but they are what we call "canned" packages. They are not tailored to your way of running your business - just generic types of procedures. I see you registered as the CEO of your company. Your money would much better spent creating a set of documents that reflect what you actually do.

Lots of luck and don't hesitate to ask more questions.

I agree. Typically 'Canned Procedures' are OK as 'reference' documents for you to look at and get ideas from, but are, by their very nature, generic.

A lot of times people buy canned procedures and adapt their systems to the documents when they could (should) just document what they do, if they haven't already.

What our company is looking for is a starting point with templates for each section or procedure to get us started. We have a good manual set, however due to the size/bulk over 175 pages people tend to not read or follow them. We used excellent software in tha past (Powerway), however I am sure something out there is better with more content and less bulk?

Thank you and if you could please help us with information that would be much appreciated!

Regards,
Bill:thanks:

Bill,

175 pages, for a 45 person operation???? Bulk is an understatement!

I don't know much about the AS9100 standard, but my guess is your current system is full of a lot of unneccessary fluff that you get with "canned" document packages.

I suggest you take what you have and trim the fat -
