:) Hi Guys, i'm new in this forum. I'm working for a company that makes precision metal stamping, cnc machining and wire edm. I used to work for a aerospace company that make screws and this is difference for me. We are on the process for certification under ISO, and we have 3 deparments, stamping, cnc and edm. Can somebody tell me if i have to write a work instruction for each deparment?

Well you have to write the 6 procedures required by ISO9001 plus a quality manual and quality policy. Then you should have work instructions if people need them to produce a quality product. A clue would be that you go out to the floor and people are using a lot of written notes to do stuff, then you should have work instructions.

As a minimum stick to the 6, but don't focus on this alone.

However, you will need to look at all of your processes that could affect the outcome of the product to your customer and document them as well.

We are a Tool and Die shop with cnc mills, EDM machines and Jig grinders.
All our employees are highly trained journeymen. The only work instructions they need are the prints that they work to. We have been ISO-9000 registered since 1998 and have never had a problem in this area.

You need work instructions if your company determines they're necessary for the effective planning, operation, and control of your processes (see ISO 9001 clause 4.2.1d). wkl says they don't need them at their company, and probably they don't. It really is a balance of competence of employees, documentation, and equipment controlling these processes.

Smoker,
If having work instructions help your people to do their jobs, include them. If you have something that should be standardized and isn't a work instructon is a great tool. I tell my people if they have to write out a bunch of stuff every time they hire a new person, they should probably just put it into a work instruction. According to the standard you should document where the lack of documentation would prove detrimental.
