We both probably agree the same thing! To do as the standard asks is always a matter of interpretation (thank God) that is why we have a job.

I was just confirming he did not need a long QAM. If one wants to add some introductory information and also a summary of what is covered then there is nothing wrong with that.

I am sure you agree in the real world the only people who really care about the QAM are the quality manager and the auditor.

Most auditors will (or should!) be more concerned about how well the system is run rather than how nice the documents look.

Anyway makes for an interesting conversation!

Is the objective to produce a document based on "the least you can get away with" or a document that represents the company well and adds value? :frust::frust: If someone shows me a 2-pager, I am more than likely not going to be impressed with the rest of this minimalist approach in their quality management system.

We have a 2-pager in the Attachments Jan......

As for how long can or could a manual be? Normally 8.5 inches or 11 inches depending on the paper used:lol:

Thats a tough one as the paper in the USA is a different size to the UK! I am sure if you use double spacing and big font you could go for a record!
