Ykwooi, How is your quest going?

hi gpainter, i'm currently trying to build up a system for this company 1st. because inspite they've already grown bigger compared to previous years, they all depend on teamwork to run the company. this is a good thing but in my opinion, once there is 1 person not cooperating, the whole existing system breaks down and could cause fatal damage in the company. i'm now in the process of building operating procedures to follow and simultaneously creating forms for the record of informations involved. i haven't build any Q.policy or Q.objectives yet but can only build it once everything is running smoothly.

is this the right way of doing this?

This is what I did
1. Select a registrar
2. Select an auditor
3. System Procedures
4 Work Instructions as needed
5 Quality Manual

I did spend some time understanding the psychology of the company to determine the registrar and initial auditor selection. Actually,spent almost 3 hours interviewing the initial auditor. what made it easy was the top management support. Although i considered myself a "nobody", I had the full support of the president to do whatever was needed. That makes the job easier!!!

The registrar or certification body (depending upon which country you are in) are the organisation you choose to assess your system and to award your ISO 9001 certificate. There are lots to choose from and it is a competitive market but please don't just use price to decide which one you use.

OOO. now i understand what it means thank you sooo much. actually the top management already decided on which CB to go for but i haven't had the chance to communicate with anyone there yet. still, there's a lot of unfinished work on developing the procedures as well as implementing it. our planning is to be certified in latest 2nd quarter next year. wish me luck. thank you so so much for the clarification. i really apprieciate it so much.

It's a pleasure! Please keep us informed as to your progress, we like to hear how things progress, especially any particular successful strategies you employ or any stumbling blocks your hit - it helps others to plan their own systems implementation.

By the way, don't leave it too long before you contact your CB, they may be able to help with planning dates.
