Starters suffer from delusion and denial. Believe me, there are still too many around...Somehow, I tend to find them more every day....:bonk:

I met a CEO who claimed to produce "Superior Quality" products. He qualified his statement by saying "because we perform 100% inspection."

Your tips are perfect for the ones are in moving to awakening stage.

1. Put together a team of interested and motivated people. This is no place to do it alone, or to have deadwood on your team.

2. Read and Learn the standard, and some related documents. Get some understanding or Training.

3. Define your processes, and begin the steps required by cl 4.1.

then, begin all the rest. Do NOT begin by writing your procedures.

Here are a few things that I can think of after just implementing a system for the CNC machine shop that I work for (we employ 6 people, including upper mgmt.):

- Get to know the standard and the terminology backwards and forwards.
- Don't over complicate! Make the system work for you, not the other way around.
- Involve EVERYONE in the process. It cannot be just one person trying to get the system off the ground.

If you were to give 3 important tips to someone (not me) embarking on the ISO9001:2000 QMS implementation journey what would they be?

as for myself my three tips would be:

1. Communicate: Listen first then ask for feedback

2. Think: Always question and imagine different scenarios and their possible consequences, and try to establish relations and identify risks

3. Simplify: Try to put yourself in the place of those implementing the system, and deliver a neat simple digestable package
Don't put a paper system better know as place, try to do it right or it will eventually fail.

1. Top Management commitment- do they really want to do it and will they stand behind the system
2. Team approach to set-up- it is not owned by you
3. Document the truth- not the fantasy
