I was wondering if anyone has ever came up with of know of a one page overview of ISO 9001 that I could use during new hire orientation?

There is a really nice slide that Sidney Vianna provided on the below thread (post #33):

ISO 9001 certification (registration) requirements (http://elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?p=193447#post193447)

IMO, it's a pretty nice slide for an overview. I am sure he would not mind if you used it, but it might be polite to ask.

Don't know if that is what you are looking for.

I thought about using that and have for other areas but am really looking for a very short - ISO 9001 is...... type of thing. Funny thing is I sat down to type something simple up and it was like brain freeze :confused:

The system is, after all, your interpretation/translation of the standard, and thus much more useful to most employees.

I think you can write it yourself.

I'm with you, Claes. Focus on your quality system. Mostly I focus on doing the right thing for the right reason at the right time.

This one comes from NASA. It was written for 9000:1994, but the text seems applicable to what you are seeking.
