Hi Good Afternoon, its lunch hour here...
I am receiving mixed response from you regarding QMS.
To me (dear moderator, correct me if im wrong)
QMS is the system
A system you use in the company. Its cover the whole company based on the standard given.
GDPMD is the standard
You adopt/take to implement the QMS (other standard maybe ISO 13585, ISO 9000 etc). Serve as the backbone/guidelines of the QMS standard you want to achieve.
Quality Manual, a book/manual/compilation of work/procedure documents
Summary of all working procedure in the company to achieve the standard you set. This procedure which can be the procedures, work instruction, flow chart etc....
Then comes the documented procedure
Which is again the procedures, work instruction, records flow chart etc on how you carry daily activities/operation based on the standard adopt.
QMS is the system you adopt and implement, the way action/operation in the company.
Quality manual is the documented QMS, you write down your QMS in your Quality Manual for others to see. Quality manual should describe your QMS.
Its like running a class lesson
How you as a teacher conduct the class for the lesson is the QMS, from the beginning till the end of lesson.
Your syllabus will be the quality manual
you and the students is the MR and workers
then textbook/diagram will be the procedure and exercise books is the records/database to maintain
