hi all,
pls help me in the following topic:
We have an existing manual according to ISO 9001:2000 for our facility. As we produce also pharmaceuticals, the device-business is integrated; this makes sense because we have harmonized processes (ISO 9001/14000/13485). We are/act as manufacturer of several devices worldwide but we do not produce them itself.
Now we would need for registration purpose one Q-manual, which also should include our device manufacturing processes - but they are outsourced and done by several suppliers (they mostly have also Q-manuals).
Does it make sense to
1. prepare 1 big device Q-manual which includes our suppliers (this would be against our philosophy of harmonized processes within the facility; therefore 2 manuals would exist)
2. outline/describe clear interfaces to our external suppliers of the main production steps in our existing manual and cross-reference the supplier docs (this would be less work)
3. ??? solution to be found
if you you know a solution for my problem or have other experience, please write
thaks, Judy
