The ISO 9000 standard
requires companies to write an ISO 9000 quality manual
that defines how each requirement of the rather broad
ISO 9000 standard is applied at the company. In a
sense, the ISO 9000 quality manual is a company specific
version of the ISO 9000 standard.
While writing the ISO 9000
quality manual represents a big hurdle for most
companies, ISO 9000 requires further
details in form of ISO 9000 quality procedures, a
quality policy and quality objectives. Most companies
make the mistake of creating various different quality documents
to meet these requirements; however, this usually is the
beginning of a cumbersome and bureaucratic ISO 9000
quality system.
☻Our
Advice:
Combine the various documentation requirements
(quality manual, quality procedures, quality policy,
corporate quality objectives) in one single document to
avoid redundancy and to create a document that adds
value.
ISO9000Simplified
combines all in their quality manual templates.
In
addition to the quality manual, quality procedures, a
quality policy and quality objectives, ISO 9000 requires
work instructions that provide detailed guidelines to
employees on how to perform their work. However, the ISO 9000 standard is very clear that work instructions need
only be created where they add value (for example, a
trained painter will not find value in instructions on
how to paint; on the other hand, brief instructions
(possibly in form of pictures), displayed right on a
machine, explaining how to replace a filter could be a
great time saver).
Forms,
which must be kept on file after they are filled in (at
that point, forms become records), are
also part of any ISO 9000 quality management system.
Some of the most typical forms are the Corrective Action
Report Form, the Employee Review Form, and the Customer
Survey Form. It is important to note that ISO 9000 does
not directly require these forms or any forms; however, ISO 9000
calls for recording certain information, and
well-designed forms not only collects the information, but
forms also walk the user through the process.
ISO9000Simplified offers a comprehensive collection of
time-saving business forms.
Using templates for ISO 9000
quality manuals and forms can have huge benefits. Templates are usually in the form of
existing and proven manuals and forms that serve as
samples or examples.
ISO 9000 is written in a very generic
way so that it can be applied to any company of any
industry. The disadvantage is that ISO 9000 is much
less of a specific guidance for your particular
circumstances, and it is often very difficult to
find out what is actually required. Good quality
manual templates could help ensure that all ISO 9000
requirements are addressed.
Writing quality manuals, quality procedures and
useful forms is at the beginning of any ISO 9000
implementation. It is usually a big hurdle to take,
especially due to the "I don't even know where to
start" factor. Using templates for manuals and
forms gets you over this
hurdle, and hence you can get a huge jumpstart on
your ISO 9000 implementation.
By using quality manual and forms templates, you can
implement an ISO 9000 quality management system in
very short time and without the use of expensive ISO 9000 consultants. You spend much less time on
researching the ISO 9000-2008 standard and its
requirements, much less time on writing, and much
less time on correcting your mistakes. Templates are
typically a huge money and time saver.
The reduced time to implement
an ISO 9000 quality system can allow you
to achieve ISO 9000 certification very quickly. Once
certified, you will be able to reap the marketing
rewards that come with ISO 9000 certification.
Together with the improvements to your company, this
could lead to significant savings and increased
business.
Good quality manual and forms templates lead to good
quality management systems. Using a good quality
manual template to model your new ISO 900 system on
allows you to start with an excellent ISO 9000
system from the beginning; or you can improve an
existing ISO 9000 system when using a good quality
manual template as guide for improvement.
-
Simplicity and
User-Friendliness
The more user-friendly your
ISO 9000 system, the
better! If you can use a quality manual template to
set up a simple, user-friendly quality management
system, you are already half the way to a system
that makes business sense.
-
Benefit from Others'
Mistakes
If you use proven, successful quality manual and
forms templates, you benefit from others' mistakes.
There are usually many mistakes made until a real
good ISO 9000 system evolves. With ISO 9000
quality materials that are proven successful you dont have
to make the same mistakes that others have already
made.
Good forms have two purposes: (1) to collect and
record information, and (2) to guide the user
through the process of collecting the information. A
truly good form not only collects all the necessary
information, it also does it in a very efficient
manner. Often, a form can replace work instructions
by guiding the user through an entire process that
could extend beyond the mere collection of data.
-
Better Compliance
through Forms
Good business forms can make it easy for employees
to meet the ISO 9000 requirements. Instead of having
to look at work instructions, forms can in a subtle
way guide employees and ensure that they follow ISO 9000.
☻Our
Advice:
The ISO 9000 quality manual and the ISO 9000 quality
procedures are the center piece of any ISO 9000 quality
system. You can get a huge head start by purchasing a
good quality manual template (a sample quality manual
that you can use as a good example and that you can
modify to make it your own quality manual). There are
numerous companies that sell ISO 9000 quality manuals
that you can use as templates to create your own quality
manual. We urge you to carefully evaluate them before
making a purchase decision as we found the majority to
be convoluted, bureaucratic and cumbersome.
