Planning of Realization Processes - Setting Quality Objectives - ISO 9001

[Bruce Wade]

Hank,

Ouch! Sorry you were not pleased with the ISO 10005 document. BTW: the document is scheduled for discontinuation, I believe at the next meeting in Birmingham...

The best resource I have found for guidance on the ISO 9000:2000 family is the tome:

The ASQ ISO 9000:2000 Handbook: Cianfrani, C.A.; Tsiakals, J.J. and West, J.E. , editors. ASQ Quality Press (2002). ISBN: 0-87389-522-3.

Book is expensive, but includes a CD with copies of the standards and other support documents...

Prototype

Andy,

I would not treat prototypes under the "Product Realisation" scheme of things.

Keep them as they are ..still under development as per 7.3

Regards,

Chris

Prototype vs production

I think one of the key questions here is what is the product? If the contract is for prototype parts, then 7.1 a) clearly applies. If you develop prototype parts outside of the contract, then it does not.

A difference would be if I owned the design. Let's say I make custom fishing rods (I sell them to energy). Prototype development is for my benefit and the customer never knows they exist. 7.1 a) does not apply. (?)

On the other hand energy askes me to make a line of rods for his company. Now he wants to see (and approve?) the rods before they are produced. Now 7.1 a) is applicable. (?)

Am I missing anything?
