I am working on an ISO 9001 implementation for a manufacturing client. The product they manufacture is large, low-volume, and engineered specific to each application/customer. They are widely recognized for producing a high quality product which we attribute greatly to the level of craftsmanship exemplified by the fabrication staff.
We want to implement ISO 9001 to improve the repeatability of quality and reduce the risk of negative quality impacts caused by loss of knowledge (staff leaving etc.). However, we are hesitant to create detailed work procedures for fear that this would undermine the craftsmanship culture.
Can anyone suggest a way to document the Product Realization portion of the QMS without adding restrictive processes?
