Difficulty in creating a Quality Manual

I

iamnototep

Having difficulty in creating a quality manual which meets auditor expectations. ISO 9001 is not very helpful on reviews, section 4.2.2 even less.

Any hints?

My first hint is to direct you to the forum which is dedicated to quality manuals. I am moving this thread there because that is where it belongs. There you should read some of the existing threads asking the exact same question you are asking. We love to help people, but we don't like to walk someone through such a basic question which has been asked and answered many, many times already.

My second hint is for you to look at some of the quality manual examples posted in the Post File Attachments.

Creating a manual to suit auditors' expectations is the wrong goal and a futile activity. Everyone wants something different. As long as you meet the stated ISO 9001 requirements and your own organizations' needs, there will be no problem.

Andy is right of course, you need to write a manual for you, as long as it addresses the basic requirements of 4.2.2, it can't be wrong.

On the other hand, I know it is difficult when someone states 'do what you want' because if you are not familiar with quality manuals, where do you start. That's where Marc's suggestion to check out sample manuals in the attachments should help.

You could also check some manuals from you customers and/or suppliers to find out what they do.

Why not put something together and post it on here for comments?
