They're there...

ISO GUY said:
I still must be missing something, I do not see where you have addrssed any of the requirements for 9001:2000 or where to go to find this information?????
Note: I am referring to ISO/TS 16949, but I believe these are the same requirements as in 9001:2000...

4.2.2 Quality Manual
a. Scope - right column on page 1 (front flap when folded), Exclusions - bottome line on page 2 (inside page when folded)
b. documented procedures - referenced on page 2 (not clear on the example I posted, but they are listed as boxes just like the processes)
c. Interaction of processes - incomplete on the example I showed, but it will be similar to what is on page 2

I also cover one of 4.2.1 General Documentation Requirements
a. Quality Policy and Objectives - left column on page 1 (inside flap when folded)

I have included a brief history of the company (center column on page 1, back when folded), therefore making the document a little more personal, as well as a tool for sales

Does that clear up the confusion?

It Passed!

:lmao: Just to let everyone know, our Registrar Auditor was here last week to do a preassessment audit. He was talking about how one of his clients "managed" to get his Quality Manual down to 7 pages.... then I showed him my brochure (attached in an earlier post). He liked it! He reviewed it, and stated that it meets all of the requirements of the Standard. So, that means I squeezed a quality manual onto a two-sided sheet of legal paper. 4 pages, if you count the three columns on one side separately, and one of those is a history of our company, which isn't a requirement.

Thanks! Thanks to whoever (I think it was Cari) posted the original example. I just wish I could have posted the complete document, with the photos and everything...

Our Registrar company is QMI.

Our corporate European headquarters dont have a paper manual. Only an electronic version in the form of a powerpoint document which is stuffed with hyperlinks to other pages and documents.
