Re: I need it all! Please tell me the bare bones!

hi Kris & Bill'

I'm the Quality Manager of a 65 person Job Shop Machine Shop. We have been ISO certified for about 9 years and are in the process of upgrading to AS9100 Aerospace.

Go ahead and sift thru the massive amounts of Cove material and if you need any help feel free to contact me.

Thanks, Briz,

I see you just made post #100 - Congrats!

I have already spent hours and hours reading through the Cove. It has helped immensely. I pretty much know what needs to be done although I may have some technical questions later.

My biggest challenge right now is to get people out of their long entrenched comfort zones and become more organized. Get rid of what I call clutter and redundancy. The written procedures and instructions will follow much more easily afterwards.

Thanks again,

Bill S.

What would you need the template for. Quality system is suppose to work base on your needs, not based on the template or format from otehr organization. Here is my 2 cent recom.:
Identify your process.
Integrate the process description in your manual, of course, dont forget to include the primaries of a manual, like policy, management commitment...etc.
Identify the ISO elements that directly impact your process, this will be a guide to auditors to which chapter of ISO 9001 you will be audited against.
Once elements of ISO has been identified, act on the requirements specified by those elements. As a clue, anything that shows the word shall or will are considered as requirement and should be evidently being implemented.

thanks

Some basics: Implementing an ISO 9001 Quality System.

Some other related implementation discussion threads you should read through: Implementing ISO 9001.

Thank you so much Marc. I just needed some dir. I have maintained QMS before just never created one from the ground up. Yours and everyone else's insight is proving invaluable.

Now this is important to know.

In light of that I instead recommend a lead auditor's class - You'd need to set up or perform auditing anyway. In this class you can get some really valuable insight from a registrar (who teaches the class) on what is needed, what is acceptable and what is overkill.

Could anyone please let me know the the ANSI manuals that I should initially purchase, I have the AIAG but since I am not going for QS I would like the right books.

The standards that you want are: ISO9000:200x, ISO9001:200x and ISO9004:200x.

That is where you want to start. After you get those and read and understand them, you will want to get: ISO19011:200x and ISO17021:200x

You may also want to purchase this book, by Craig Cochran: Craig's Book

Than ISO9001:200x is the one you want.

The other ones (except maybe ISO9000:200x) would be the minimum you need. ISO9000:200x is vocabulary.
