The standard requires companies to write an ISO 9000 (http://www.iso9001store.com) quality manual (http://www.e-wia.com) that defines how each requirement of the rather broad ISO 9001:2008 standard is applied at the company. In a sense, the ISO 9000 quality manual (http://www.iso9001store.com) is a company specific version of the standard.
While writing the quality manual (http://www.iso9001store.com) represents a big hurdle for most companies, the ISO 9001:2008 standard requires further details in form of ISO 9000 (http://www.iso9000-software.com) quality procedures, a quality policy and quality objectives. Most companies make the mistake of creating various different documents to meet these requirements; however, this usually is the beginning of a cumbersome and bureaucratic ISO 9000 quality system. (http://www.iso9001store.com) Tip: Combine the different documentation requirements (i.e., quality manual, procedures, corporate policy and objectives) as much as possible into one comprehensive manual. This reduces repetition and bureaucracy, and it saves time implementing the quality system. -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=35883#35883 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman/listinfo/tinyerp-users
