ISO 9001:2000 (Management Commitment)

[ZeeTX]

Hello Everyone:

I am looking for some Info. on the Clause 5 (Management Responsibility) of the standard - ISO 9001:2000. I looking for some good Information that would help me in elaborating those sub-clauses with examples to prepare a presentation (slides) with some good matter for the report.

I am particularly looking for the sub-clause 5.1 "Management Commitment" expansion / explanation under Clause 5 (Management Responsibility). Searched the forum using the key words but couldn't come up with good finds..

Links directing to websites, pdf / powerpoint files... Any kind of help is appreciated.

Thank you..

What are you having trouble with, the word Management or Committment?

What are you actually wanting to know?

Have you tried looking at ISO 9004:2004?

I hate to sound this way but the way you stated youself brings out the "DUH" word.

Well... Assuming you're looking for how we have handled this clause:

I suggest a look at the following old discussions:

Management Representative ensures the promotion of awareness of customer requirements
Is there a requirement for Directors meetings as a supplement to managment reviews
5.1 Management Commitment - How do you comply and what proof do you have?
Management commitment - Lipservice - Delegation
Management Commitment - The owner of our company does not allow me to implement
Auditing Management Responsibility
