Hi, Missouri. If I understand your question, if a Quality Management System (QMS) can be viewed as a pyramid, the Quailty Policy is at the very top, directing the focus of everything else in the QMS. The rest of the pyramid would be the quality manual, the procedures, work instructions, then the quality records.
Hope this helps.
The scope describes what products, services, location(s) and standards is covered in your system.MissouriBDC said:Can someone give me a description of the difference in a scope for the QMS and a Quality Policy?
The Quality Policy is the overall intentions and direction of the organization regarding quality.
