I have attached my newly created quality manual for ISO9000:2001. I would appreciate any input. We are comming up on our registration audit and I have already submitted this to our auditor.
Yes. I think so, too. It seems to serve its purpose. There are some very minor typos and awkward sentence structures here and there. May I suggest you ask one or two folks you know who have good spelling and grammar skills to look through it for those things which can be so irritating to notice once you've issued the final document.
I'm sorry I don't have the time to proofread it for you, but the content seemed fine on cursory reading.
As a hint, some of the grammar things I noted were verbs not agreeing in number with the subject of the action (single verbs for plural actors and vice versa.) It might be helpful for readability to use more active verbs than passive verbs. Don't hesitate to use the pronoun "we" once in a while instead of constantly using the stilted third party "the company" which introduces an eerie sort of distance to the narrative.
As always, these are just my opinions and I am not speakingex cathedra.

Reason: dealing with mistakes of my own fat fingers
A couple of small things caught my attention when I quickly scanned your document.
1. The standard should be corrected to ISO 9001:2000, not ISO 9000:2001
2. There was no mention in the document if there were any exclusions.From looking at your document, there do not seem to be any exclusions. You should state that there are no exclusions.
The flowcharts look well done. In 7.5.5, there is a typo for Preservation.
I appreciate you all taking the time to help out. I will review and correct.
You all are GREAT!!!!
Don't hesitate to come back with your next draft.
