OK OK...I know that ISO9000:2000 is all the rage, but I find myself in a bit of a situation and need some help!!! We are registered (since 1998) and our ISO coordinator has left the company and we know find out what a mess we really have! :mg: We've been trying to go through the procedures and reduce them to bare minimums (since they've been completely overdocumented and not followed at all to date). So there's my sob story...now for the help...Quality Planning!!
After reading through ISO 9004, and 10005(??), it seems to me that there are really several different "levels" of quality planning. There is the quality system itself, which can be summarized into a flow diagram of sorts, or an overall quality plan. There could also be a design quality plan, which could outline the process of introducing new designs, again in a flow chart referencing the procedures or work instructions from the Quality System. There could again be another level of quality plan that would be part (or part family) specific i.e., an AIAG control plan.
How am I doing so far????
NOW....It also seems to me that all of these levels are, in fact, required (or strongly suggested) by the standard... Am I completely missing it??? I've been through lead auditor class and searched archives and read books and bought standards...but the more I read the more bewildered I seem to get!!!
Thanks in advance for the help!!!!
