I have a question for all of you ISO masters regarding a minimalist approach to a quality manual. I have a client who wants a very basic manual that addresses each of the elements (they are currently registered to ISO 9002)and talks to each specific part of each element in their level two procedure (i.e. 4.9 a, b etc. would be in the procedure, not specifically mentioned in the manual. What do you all think? Is this Kosher?
When I look at the standard, it states that the supplier "shall prepare and quality manual covering the requirements of this International Standard. The quality manual shall include, or make reference to, the quality system procedures . . ."
The word that stands out here is requirements. Does covering the requirements mean talking to each and every element, sub-element and notation, or just to the elements themselves, covering the specifics in the procedures???
I can see this approach working, but wanted to hear from others. I respectfully request your inputs.
