Hello everybody
I am leading the initial certification efforts in the company I work for. I am famliarized with AS however I am not an expert. I would like to have your valuable input since I am working with a consultant who is not experienced enough and I differ to him in several topics.
He says that we can implement procedures and processes even if the whole QMS documentation has not been completed, for example, to implement procedures related to Resource Management when we have not completed documentation related to Product Realization and Measurmnt, A. and Improvement.
Specifically talking about Resource Management, I think it is not possible to implement independent from the other sections of the standard because of the following:
AS9100 says:
In order to determine competence, we need to define first what positions we need in the organization to cover all processes, so before we need to know what processes we need, so we need to establish procedures that deploy such processes to fulfill all QMS requirements.
Being that said, HR department can not develop job descriptions, skill matrices and training plans and thus, determine competences if all procedures have not been created, because in this point, we do not know all processes that are related to conformity to product requirements.
Please let me know your comments that I always appreciate.
Regards
