[BradM]

Hi tvilllan,

Hi tvillan and safeline,

During our preparation for ISO 9002 in 1996, we standardized everything including our documentation templates. I've attached the sample formats.

Hope this helps.

hello,

we are currently aiming for certification to ISO9001:2000 and our format follows below:

a. For Procedure
- 1.0 Purpose
- 2.0 Scope
- 3.0 Abbreviations and Definitions
- 4.0 References
- 5.0 Quality Records
- 6.0 Procedure Details ( in flow process diagrams )
which is compose of : Responsibility ( Left corner), Process Flow /Activity ( center ) and Evidence ( Right corner )

b. WI's ( work instructions )

- 1.0 Purpose
- 2.0 Scope
- 3.0 Responsible
- 4.0 Steps ( can be in a flowchart also or an illustration )

hope this helps. also an apprentice but willing to learn more.

Just jumping on the band wagaon here

I have found that where possible combining a WI with a record works really well, going back to first example given, the Record for calibration check would contain check detail and sign

e.g. Step 1 zero balance balance should now read "0.000" next to this a box to record actual result etc etc

Additionally the level for approval for change on WI's should be at operator level (people who use it)

thats it

cheers Nigel

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

You can do what you want, any way you want, when you want that is effective for you and meets any requirement you have to meet.

All you really NEED to do is control what you document, and you get to figure that out too.

Thanks jerzki, this has helped alot. Need you help again I am trying to create a asset count template to check physical asset counts versus the theoritical for a retail industry, this does present it's challeges as the disconnect between what lies on the asset register (discription) and what is in the stores differ! any suggestions how to approach this?

Yes Randy, that may be true, but that's not what the original poster was asking. I made it clear in my post (others did too), that there are many options. The OP is trying to learn, and providing some examples to help him/her understand the issue goes a very long way. We all at The Cove would like for people to come back. Making noises (even though it's in printed form - yes, we got the message!) does not make for a welcoming environment at The Cove. I'm sure Marc would agree.

Randy sometimes forgets he has a lot more experience than many others who need more details and situation specific help.
