Two of the Most Important Objectives in the Revision of the ISO 9000-
Standard
To develop a simplified set of standards that will be equally applicable to small as well as medium and large organizations
For the amount and detail of documentation required to be more relevant to the desired results of the organization’s process activities
ISO 9001:2000
Significantly reduces documentation requirements
Is much less prescriptive
Allows more flexibility in choice of documentation system
ISO 9001:2000
Enables each organization to develop the minimum amount of documentation needed in order to demonstrate the effective planning, operation and control of its processes and the implementation and continual improvement of the effectiveness of its quality management system
What Is a Document?
Communication of information
Evidence of conformity
Knowledge sharing
Communication of Information
The type and extent of the documentation will depend on the nature of the organization’s products and processes
The degree of formality of communication systems
The level of communication skills
The organizational structure
Evidence of Conformity
Provision of evidence that what was planned has actually been done.
Say what you do, do what you say and prove it.
Knowledge Sharing
In order to disseminate and preserve the organization’s experiences.
Example: a technical specification, which can be used as a base for design and development of a new product.

Documented statements of quality policy and quality objectivesA quality manualDocumented procedures required by the international standardDocuments needed by the organization to ensure effective planning, operation and control of its processesRecords required by the international standard
Documented Statements of Quality Policy (1 of 2)
Defined in Clause 5.3
Appropriate to the purpose of the organization
Includes a commitment to comply with requirements and continually improve the effectiveness of the Quality Management System
A framework for establishing and quality objectives
Documented Statements of Quality Policy (2 of 2)
Defined in Clause 5.3

Is reviewed for continuing suitability
Documented Statements of Quality Objectives
Defined in Clause 5.4.1
Includes those needed to meet requirements for product [Clause 7.1]
Are established at relevant functions and levels within the organization
Are measurable and consistent with Quality Policy
Quality Manual
Minimum content specified in Clause 4.2.2Scope of the Quality Management System, including details of and justification for any exclusionsDocumented procedures established for the QMS, or references to themDescription of the interaction between processes of the QMS
Quality Manual-Structure
Structure of the manual is a decision for the organization based on:
Organization’s sizeOrganization’s complexityOrganization’s culture
Controlled in accordance with the requirements of Clause 4.2.3
Documented Procedures
Required by ISO 9001:2000
Control of documents (Clause 4.2.3)
Control of records (Clause 4.2.4)
Internal Audit (Clause 8.2.2)
Control of nonconforming product (Clause 8.3)
Corrective action (Clause 8.5.2)
Preventive Action (Clause 8.5.3)
Documents Needed by the Organization
Specifically referenced in ISO 9001:2000
Quality policy (Clause 4.2.1a)
Quality objectives (Clause 4.2.1a)
Quality Manual (Clause 4.2.1b)
Additional Documentation
There are several requirements of ISO 9001:2000 where an organization could add value to its Quality Management System and demonstrate conformity by the preparation of other documents
Additional DocumentationProcess maps, process flow charts,and/or process descriptionsOrganization chartsSpecificationsWork and/or test instructionsProduction schedulesApproved suppliers listsTest and inspection plansQuality plans
Documented Procedures
Controlled in accordance with Clause 4.2.3
May combine the procedure for several activities into one document
May require more than one document for a single procedure
May require additional procedures in order to implement an effective QMS
Records
Requirements for control of records are different from those for other documents
All records have to be controlled in accordance with the requirements of Clause 4.2.4
Organization are free to develop records that may be needed to demonstrate conformity of their processes, products, and QMS
Required Records (1 0f 2)
Management reviews (5.6.1)
Education, training, skills and experience (6.2.2e)
Evidence that the realization processes and resulting product fulfill requirements (7.1d)

Results of design and development verification
Results of design and development validation
Results of review of design and development changes (7.3.7)
Required Records (2 of 2)

Preparing to Implement a QMS
Process approach
Identify the processes necessary for effective implementation
Understand interactions between these processes
Document the processes to assure effective operation and control
Processes Include
Management
Resources
Product realization
Measurement
Process Analysis
Should be driving force for defining amount of documentation, taking into account the requirements of ISO 9001:2000
Should not be the documentation that drives the processes
Demonstrating Conformity With ISO 9001:2000
May not need extensive documentation
Must be able to provide objective evidence of effectiveness of processes and quality management system
Objective Evidence
Data supporting the existence or verity of something (Clause 3.8.1 of ISO 9000:2000)May be obtained through observation, measurement, test or other meansDoes not necessarily depend on documented procedures, records or other documents except where specifically required by ISO 9001:2000
Objective Evidence
Where the organization has no specific procedure for a particular activity, and this is not required by specification, it is acceptable for this activity to be conducted using as a basis the relevant clause of ISO 9001:2000
Example: Internal and external audits
