Quality Management System training services from QA-Z Consulting Specialists
QA-Z Consulting Specialists offers on and offsite training in writing and/or assistance in revising Quality Management System.
More and more businesses in the manufacturing, industrial, service and commercial sectors are finding they need to hold ISO 9001 Certification.
Part of developing a Quality Management System in preparation for certification is the writing of a quality manual. This must be specific to the daily business.
The system is intended to overlay not change all current systems. The Quality Manual must include specific procedures and statements.
The writer must be careful not to introduce many new systems and structures which may inadvertently cause management and administration headaches.
The first big question is who is going to write the Quality Management System? Who is available and with the expertise to do so? The terminology is one thing, but translating the standard to apply to the business is another.
Some businesses choose to appoint a current employee to write the system, others employ someone for one and a half years to write their system. The ISO 9001 Standard provides a generic outline, and the writer of the management system must know how to specifically apply each part of the standard to the business to avoid the re-invention of existing management operations.
Engaging a quality consultant such as QA-Z Consulting Specialists can mean less uninterrupted time and overall outlay – Professional Quality Consultants can complete a Quality Management System by working closely with one of the staff within 1 – 2 weeks.
QA Consultants carefully translate ISO 9001 to fit the business management needs. In this way the Quality Management System will be a user-friendly document suitable for personnel on all levels.
Whatever is written into the Quality Manual is what is required to comply with, if it is chosen to proceed to have the business quality certified.
