Using the documents of the Quality Key Business Area

Overview
The Key Business Area named Quality ISO9001:2008 and its sub-sections are designed to reflect the order and format of the requirements of the ISO9001:2008 Quality Management System Standard (QMS).  
Whilst these documents will enable your organisation to complete much of the documentation for accreditation to the standard, there is more that must be done.

What to do now
It is necessary to review and edit these documents to ensure that, as a whole, they represent your internal systems accurately.  There may be many other documents that you will need to evidence that your Quality Management System is integrated and evidenced in every area of your organisation. 
It is strongly recommended that an experienced Quality Consultant be appointed to guide the documentation and implementation process.  

Document layout
Each document in this suite begins with purpose statement, followed where possible by a suggested procedure for compliance with the particular element of the standard. Where the text is shown in red, this indicates that it is indicative of the text that is required or the text requires expansion.  
All red text should be reviewed, adjusted and converted to normal text before completion.
All Quality Management system requirements have been detailed individually.  Your quality consultant or auditor may suggest an amalgamation of procedures based on the nature of your organisation.

Attached supporting files

This document will become useful as you further expand or simplify the template documents of the Quality Key Business Area and develop additional material that may be located elsewhere in your database of quality documentation.

Organisation Chart

The organisation chart is used to demonstrate in graphic form, the structure or relationship of each role in the organisation. You should identify and clearly indicate a management representative as being the Quality Manager. 
Depending upon the size and nature of the organisation, this manager may or may not have other managerial responsibilities.
You may wish to insert a screen shot of your organisation chart, as shown in the TKO main screen, but be careful not to insert this until it has been fully developed.

1.1.0 Quality Management System - Requirements. Scope - General

Purpose
The international standard, ISO9001-2008, specifies the requirements for the Quality Management System (QMS) where the organisation needs to demonstrate that it is able to meet its customer's requirements together with any statutory and regulatory obligations. 
The QMS is designed to develop customer satisfaction through its application, the processes for continual improvement and assurance of conformance with the requirements of the customer and any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements. 

Procedure
This Quality Manual provides specific details of the policies and procedures used by [enter-your-company-name-here] to meet the requirements of the international standard ISO9001-2008
Our QMS demonstrates [enter-your-company-name-here]'s ability and commitment to consistently provide products and/or services that meet our customer's requirements and applicable statutory, regulatory or legal requirements. 
In addition, our QMS aims to enhance the level of customer satisfaction through the effective application of the policies and procedures, including processes for continual improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory, regulatory or legal requirements. 

Whenever our QMS refers to “product”, this applies only to; 
•	product intended for, or required by, a customer; or 
•	any intended output resulting from the product realisation processes

1.2.0 Scope - Application

Purpose
The requirements of the international standard ISO9001-2008 are generic in order that they may be applied to all organisations, irrespective of their nature, size or product provided.  
Consequently, where the requirements of the standard are not applicable to the organisation and cannot therefore be applied, they may be considered for exclusion.
Claims of conformity with the international standard ISO9001-2008, may only be made when all exclusions are limited to the requirements of Clause 7 of the standard. 
In addition, the exclusions shall not affect the organisation's ability or responsibility to provide products or services that comply with the customer's requirements and any statutory, legal or regulatory requirements.   

Procedure
[enter-your-company-name-here] has no permissible exclusions as they apply to the organisation or its products under the requirements of the international standard ISO9001-2008.

OR

[enter-your-company-name-here], due to the nature of the organisation and its products, has excluded section 7.3 Design and Development from the applicable requirements of the ISO9001 2008 standard. 
This exclusion does not affect the organisation's ability or responsibility to provide products or services that comply with the customer's requirements and any statutory, legal or regulatory requirements.   

2.0.0 Normative reference

Purpose
To establish the current status of documents in the Quality Management System, the international standard ISO9001-2008 states;

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. 
For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. 
ISO 9000:2005, Quality management systems — Fundamentals and vocabulary 

3.0.0 Terms and definitions

Purpose
For the purposes of interpretation, the terms and definitions given in ISO 9000 apply to the international standard ISO9001-2008. Wherever the term "product" is used, it may also mean "service".

Terms and definitions
Where the term “organisation” is used in this quality manual, it refers to [enter-your-company-name-here]
“Supplier” and “Vendor” are synonymous and refer to the external source used to acquire purchased products and/or services by [enter-your-company-name-here].
Throughout the text of this Quality Manual wherever the term “product” occurs, it may also mean “service”.

4.1.0 Documentation Requirements - General

Purpose
The organisation is required to establish, document, implement and maintain a quality management system and to continually improve its effectiveness in accordance with the requirements of the International Standard ISO9001-2008. 

In order to do this, the organisation must; 
•	determine the processes that must be included in the quality management system and how these should be applied throughout the organisation. These processes include those for management, provision of resources, product realisation, measurement, analysis and improvement.

•	When the organisation decides to outsource any process that may affect the product's conformity to requirements, it must ensure that it maintains control over these processes. The type and extent of control necessary will be defined within the quality management system but must include compliance with all customer, statutory and regulatory requirements. In addition, the controls should cover the potential impact of the outsourced process on the organisation's capability to provide product that conforms to requirements and the degree to which the control for the process is shared. The level of control that may be achieved through the application of Clause 7.4 (Purchasing) should also be considered.

8.2.1 Customer Satisfaction

Purpose
The level of customer satisfaction is one of the indicators of the effectiveness of the Quality Management System. This procedure describes the methods used to capture the information and analyse it.

Procedure
(This document states the generic details of how a business may respond to this requirement.  Your specific response must be completed below in the body of this procedure.  Your use of TKO software may impact upon the nature of the response)
[enter-your-company-name-here] has identified customer satisfaction as being a key indicator of the effectiveness of the Quality Management System. 

Customer satisfaction data is sourced in various ways, including;
•	customer satisfaction surveys, 
•	customer data on delivered product quality,
•	user opinion surveys,
•	lost business analysis,
•	compliments,
•	warranty claims and
•	dealer reports. 

[enter-your-company-name-here] clearly identifies customer requirements at the quoting or tendering stage.
When appropriate, customers have the opportunity and are encouraged to monitor the production of the product at specific points in the process.  (delete this paragraph if it doesn't apply)
At three monthly intervals, the Sales Manager prepares a list of customers to whom feedback requests will be sent.  One week later Sales staff make telephone contact with those customers and actively solicit responses to the feedback request.
The results of this feedback survey are then discussed at the next sales meeting and reported at the next management meeting.  Responses requiring corrective action to be taken will become the subject of CAR Forms and will be processed accordingly. 

8.2.2 Internal Audit

Purpose
To define the procedure for planned, regular internal audits which determine whether the Quality Management System is effective and conforms with all requirements.

Procedure
•	[enter-your-company-name-here] has developed a 12 month schedule of internal audits with procedures and activities that are complex or critical being scheduled at six monthly intervals. 
•	The internal audit plan and procedure conforms to the requirements of the international standard ISO9001-2008 and the Quality Management System that has been established by the organisation.
•	A staff member (who) with suitable training, experience and qualifications relevant to the areas being audited, acts as an internal auditor. 
•	The auditor (s) are selected on the basis that they will be both objective and impartial with respect to the audit process and that they have knowledge of the area that is being audited. An auditor shall not audit their own work or area of responsibility.
•	An Internal Audit Report form is used to record and document the audit areas. The form contains guidance for preparation, recorded findings, recommendations and follow-up and closure of recommended actions. 
•	The audit reports and resulting actions shall be documented stored in accordance with the procedure 4.2.4 - Control of records
•	Where corrections and corrective actions are deemed necessary as the result of the audit, the management responsible for the area being audited shall ensure that these are effected without delay.
•	Following the corrective action, a formal verification process shall be carried out and documented in accordance with the Corrective Action procedure (8.5.2).  

8.2.3 Monitoring and measurement of processes

Purpose
This procedure describes the methods used for monitoring and measurement as part of the product realisation process.

Procedure
•	(Where necessary, add specific details of how the organisation will respond to this requirement)
•	All persons who carry out monitoring and measurement tasks shall be suitably qualified and competent in accordance with the procedure (6.2.2) - Competence, awareness and training.
•	A person shall be nominated and authorised to confirm that a product or service is able to be delivered and meets all requirements.
•	In some instances, verification may be considered as a monitoring and measurement process. This may be the case where visual checks are used because other measurements are not possible.
•	As part of the competency training, individuals are qualified to check their own work.
•	In some instances, each successive step in the realisation of the product is checked by the person who carries out the work before passing it on. 
•	A suitable method of recording that the checks have been carried out shall be included in the work records, such as an initialled box against a description of the check required.
•	If required, the verification of the checking process may take the form of checklists with records of items such as dimensions, temperature, physical properties, chemical analysis etc.
•	Final inspection includes a check that all inter-process checks have been completed and are satisfactory. This includes a check of all paperwork and documentation that may accompany the product.

The monitoring and measurement that is to be carried out may be listed in a number of ways, such as:
•	a quality plan,
•	a sampling plan,
•	an inspection and test plan,
•	a procedure,
•	an instruction, and
•	the customer's order

Other: 
Where the product or service is dispatched before test results, etc. are available, a tracking system shall be implemented to allow for the re-call of the product in the event of a problem being detected at a later date.
All inspection and test records shall indicate whether any failures occurred and the proposed action as a result of the failures. Processing actions that are necessary to bring the product or service within specifications before it is released to the next stage of operations are not considered failures.
Any failures are dealt with in accordance with the procedure for control of non conforming product (8.3)
All relevant documents are retained and stored in accordance with the procedure 4.2.4 - Control of records

8.2.4 Monitoring and measurement of product

Purpose
To establish appropriate testing and inspection regimes for monitoring conformity of supplied product or services.

Procedure
(Depending upon the complexity of the product, there may be rigorous inspection and testing procedures to ensure conformity of product or service. Alternatively it may only be necessary to conduct a visual inspection prior to supply.  Select whichever of the following paragraphs suits the application.)

For simple supply
Before the product is released to the customer, a suitably qualified person shall review and confirm the order against the supply.  A brief visual review is conducted to ensure that there are no obvious defects or nonconformities such as damaged product, packaging or incorrect labelling.  Persistent or significant nonconformity will be identified and may form the basis of a CAR procedure.

Or

For all other instances
This procedure relates to inspection and test points, monitoring and measurement of product realisation processes.  Before commencement of the job, inspection and test points are agreed with the customer.
The job plan including recommended inspection and test points is explained to and reviewed with the customer.  
Any major nonconformance detected at any of the inspection and test points will be recorded on a CAR form and appropriate action taken in consultation with the customer.

Specialised tests may be conducted by suppliers, sub-contractors or consultants and may include:
•	U.V. Stability (for example)
•	Concrete testing (for example)
•	Compliance testing (for example)
•	Other?

Any final measurements or quantities are compared with the original or agreed specification and contracts and any adjustments to the final sign-off are made and agreed with all relevant stakeholder's.
If a client's representative supervises the final inspection and tests; when he/she is satisfied, may issue a Letter of Completion and Approval or other appropriate documentation.
(Expansion required)
Unless otherwise approved by a relevant authority and, where applicable, by the customer, release of product and delivery of service to the customer shall not proceed until the planned arrangements (7.1) have been satisfactorily completed. 
All records that authorise the release of the product or service shall clearly identify the person authorising the release.
All monitoring and measurement records, together with other relevant documentation is stored in accordance with the procedure 4.2.4 - Control of records

8.3.0 Control of nonconforming product

Purpose
To ensure that nonconforming product is identified and controlled.

Procedure
[enter-your-company-name-here] shall ensure that product which does not conform to product requirements is identified and controlled to prevent its unintended use or delivery.

In dealing with nonconformities, the organisation will, depending upon the circumstances, act in one or more of the following ways;
•	take appropriate action to eliminate the detected nonconformity; 
•	authorise the release or acceptance under concession by a relevant authority and, where applicable, by the customer; 
•	take action to preclude its original intended use or application; 
•	take action appropriate to the effects, or potential effects, of the nonconformity when nonconforming product is detected after delivery or use has started. 

(This is a generic document that describes how a business may respond to this requirement.  A documented procedure should be established to define the controls and related responsibilities and authorities for dealing with nonconforming product. A specific response must be completed below in the body of this procedure.)

The procedure for witness and hold points is as follows:
•	The engineer and/or site supervisor advises personnel and sub-contractors of any pending witness or hold point, or an inspection is either specified by the client or a stipulated in an approved technical procedure.
•	Where any process or installed material cannot be inspected usually or by other means the engineer and/or site supervisor ensures that the personnel responsible for the task are suitably qualified and experienced, and that the process is continually monitored.
•	The status of in-process testing is recorded on the job sheet.
•	Where any notation indicates that there are nonconformities on any section of work or with any procedure, no further activity involving that work can proceed.
•	All personnel, sub-contractors and client representatives are advised of this requirement.
•	Nonconformities are marked and actioned accordingly.

Authorised personnel, upon final inspection, verify that all required inspections have taken place, are recorded, and ensure that any nonconformities or defects have been documented, rectified, reinspected, re-tested and has passed inspection.
Records of the nature of nonconformities and any subsequent actions taken, including concessions obtained, shall be maintained and stored in accordance with the procedure 4.2.4 - Control of records

8.4.0 Analysis of data

Purpose
To demonstrate the manner in which [enter-your-company-name-here] sources data and then uses it to determine the effectiveness of the Quality Management System and to identify opportunities for improvement.

Analysis of the data provides information relating to; 
•	customer satisfaction, 
•	conformity to product requirements, 
•	suppliers,
•	characteristics and trends of processes and products, including opportunities for preventive action. 

Procedure
•	[enter-your-company-name-here] gathers data from various sources, including customer surveys, Corrective Action Required reports, inspection and test reports, supplier performance reports, sales and marketing reports etc.  
•	The data is correlated and the results used to identify trends. The trend data may indicate problems associated with processes, training, documentation, product specifications, suppliers, raw materials and many more.  
•	The results from the evaluation of the data and trends are used as a basis for changes and improvements to the Quality Management System.

The results from the evaluation of the data may also be used :
•	as input to management reviews
•	as input to decision processes for corrective and preventative actions
•	as inputs to assessing customer satisfaction
•	as evidence of conformance to customer requirements

8.5.1 Continual Improvement

Purpose
[enter-your-company-name-here] is committed to the continual improvement of its Quality Management System; this procedure indicates the various methods employed to achieve this.
 
Procedure
•	[enter-your-company-name-here] has developed a Quality Management System (QMS) and has a stated commitment towards improving the effectiveness of the system.
•	Top management has endorsed the organisation's Quality Policy which, together with its stated quality objectives, contains support for the continual improvement of the QMS.
•	[enter-your-company-name-here] conducts regular, planned internal audits of the QMS.  The results of these audits are reviewed at regular management meetings and the outcomes are used to assess the performance of the system. 
•	Whenever nonconformities or system failures are detected, changes to the QMS may be made as the result of corrective action to prevent a recurrence. Preventive action measures may result in changes to the QMS where these are deemed appropriate by top management.  
•	Data from customer surveys, Corrective Action Required logs and other external and internal sources is used to assess the effectiveness of the QMS. Whenever trends are detected, these are investigated to determine whether there is a need for change to the QMS. Following a change to the QMS and when appropriate, further data is obtained to verify the validity of the change. 
•	[enter-your-company-name-here]'s top management has a stated commitment to regular management review of the QMS and its outcomes.

8.5.2 Corrective action

Purpose
To document the corrective actions necessary to eliminate the causes of nonconformities, including complaints, in order to prevent their recurrence and drive continual improvement of the Quality Management System. 
Corrective actions are implemented as appropriate, considering the effects of the nonconformities. 

Procedure
[enter-your-company-name-here] has established procedures that record and review all reported nonconformities, including instances of customer complaint and detail the necessary corrective action. 

Corrective Action Required
•	When a non-conformance is identified a Corrective_Action_Required (CAR) form will be completed. All staff are trained and encouraged in the use of CAR forms.
•	After completing the details, the CAR form is passed to the Quality Manager.  If appropriate, the CAR is discussed at staff meetings.
•	The Quality Manager then processes the form promptly, identifying underlying or root causes and notes these on the form.  
•	The Quality Manager will then proceed with appropriate corrective or preventive action, noting these on the form.  
•	A Corrective_Action_Required_Log will be maintained by the Quality Manager, and the status of the CAR will be maintained.  CAR issues that are outstanding will be followed up regularly.  
•	The CAR log will be presented at the regular quality management meetings.  The Quality Manager has the responsibility for making the appropriate changes to procedures, forms and management systems as required, from issues arising from the CAR forms.
•	Top management will review and approve major CAR actions.

Evaluation
All instances of nonconformance are evaluated to determine the cause and the effect that they have on product realisation, safety, customer satisfaction etc.
As part of the evaluation process, any action to prevent a recurrence of the non-conformance is considered and evaluated. During this evaluation consideration is given to the potential for a recurrence, safety, customer satisfaction, legal and regulatory implications etc.     
 
Corrective action
Following the evaluation of the cause, potential for recurrence and the effects upon product realisation, consideration is given to determine the most appropriate method reducing or eliminating the risk of recurrence.

Communication and Documentation
All evaluation results and corrective actions taken to mitigate or eliminate the potential for further non-conformances are communicated to all relevant parties, recorded and stored in accordance with the procedure 4.2.4 - Control of records

Review
The effectiveness of corrective actions are reviewed on a regular basis, every three (3) months or as deemed necessary by top management. Where the non-conformance is considered to be serious, the frequency of review may be increased as deemed necessary by top management in order to ensure effective control. When a non-conformance is detected, additional work instructions, training and checklists may developed to prevent the recurrence.
 
Complaints
Major corrective action is necessary when the non-conformance includes complaints which have legal or financial impact or which might impact upon the reputation of the organisation.
Minor corrective action is necessary when the non-conformance includes complaints which are minimal or low impact and are easily resolved, with no long-term effects.

8.5.3 Preventative action

Purpose
To document the actions necessary to eliminate the causes of potential nonconformities in order to prevent their occurrence. Preventive actions are implemented as appropriate, considering the effects 
of the potential problems.

Procedure
•	[enter-your-company-name-here] has established procedures that identify the causes of potential nonconformities and methods by which these may be prevented.  
•	During the planning stage of product realisation, a thorough study of potential non-conformances is conducted. The study will include an examination of the root causes, evaluation of the possibility that the non-conformance will occur and the collateral effect on other processes.
•	From the results of the study of potential non-conformances, an evaluation of the need for preventative action will be made. Following this evaluation, any actions that are determined necessary will be implemented.
•	All evaluation results and actions taken to eliminate or mitigate the non-conformances are communicated to all relevant parties, recorded and stored in accordance with the procedure 4.2.4 - Control of records
•	The effectiveness of preventative actions are reviewed on a regular basis, every three (3) months or as deemed necessary by top management. During the first days, months, of product realisation the frequency of review shall be increased as deemed necessary by top management in order to ensure effective control. 
•	When a potential non-conformance is detected, additional work instructions, training and checklists are developed to prevent the occurrence.
•	[enter-your-company-name-here] regularly conducts customer surveys to gain feedback that assist with the development of preventative action plans.
•	[enter-your-company-name-here] encourages its staff to keep up-to-date with industry changes, changes to regulations and codes of practice, new procedures, new materials and products etc. which will have a positive effect on its ability to detect potential non-conformances and prevent these from occurring.
