4. Quality Management System
4.1 General Requirements
Establish, document, implement, and maintain a quality management system. Continually improve its effectiveness in accordance with ISO 9001 requirements. Implement the system to:







Determine processes needed for the quality management system (and their application throughout the organization)
Determine process sequence and interaction
Determine criteria and methods for process operation and control
Ensure resources and supporting information are available
Monitor, measure where applicable, and analyze these processes
Implement actions to achieve planned results and continual process improvement

Manage these processes in accordance with ISO 9001 requirements. Define the type and extent of control applied to any outsourced processes that affect product conformity to requirements.
NOTE 1: Processes needed for the quality management system include the processes for management activities (see 5), provision of resources (see 6), product realization (see 7), and measurement, analysis, and improvement (see 8).
NOTE 2: An outsourced process is a process the organization needs for its quality management system, and which the organization chooses to have performed by an external party.
NOTE 3: Ensuring control over outsourced processes does not absolve your organization of the responsibility to conform to all customer, statutory, and regulatory requirements. The type and extent of control applied to an outsourced process can be influenced by factors such as:  Potential impact of the outsourced process on your organization's capability to provide product that conforms to requirements
 Degree to which the control for the process is shared
 Capability of achieving the necessary control through the application of 7.4

...determine compliance to requirements. Poorly executed audits provide incomplete or inaccurate information upon which to base future decisions. The ISO 9000 and MBNQA standards and criteria are the two most frequently used audit standards in the United States. Can John conduct an audit of his company’s quality management system given its present state? Discuss - A quality management system (QMS) is a collection of business processes focused on achieving quality policy and quality objectives to meet customer requirements. It is expressed as the organizational structure, policies, procedures, processes and resources needed to implement quality management. Business success may simply be the extent to which your organization can produce a higher-quality product or service than your competitors are able to do at a competitive price. When quality is the key to a company’s success, quality management systems allow organizations to keep up with and meet current quality levels, meet the consumer’s requirement for quality, retain employees through competitive compensation programs, and keep up with the latest technology. So no I don’t think John can conduct a proper audit. He’s missing too much important paper work.

...continually improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its performance.” These activities interact and are affected by being in the system, so the isolation and study of each one in detail will not necessarily lead to an understanding of the system as a whole. The main thrust of a QMS is in defining the processes, which will result in the production of quality products and services, rather than in detecting defective products or services after they have been produced. The benefits of a QMS A fully documented QMS will ensure that two important requirements are met: • The customers’ requirements – confidence in the ability of the organisation to deliver the desired product and service consistently meeting their needs and expectations. • The organisation’s requirements – both internally and externally, and at an optimum cost with efficient use of the available resources – materials, human, technology and information. These requirements can only be truly met if objective evidence is provided, in the form of information and data, to support the system activities, from the ultimate supplier to the ultimate customer. A QMS enables an organisation to achieve the goals and objectives set out in its policy and strategy. It provides consistency and satisfaction in terms of methods, materials, equipment, etc, and interacts with all activities of the...

International Standardization

...adopting ISO standards are as follows:- Significance ISO standards contribute more to a company's economic sustainability than ever before. An increasing number of manufacturers and business customers will not even do business with a supplier that is not ISO certified. According to www.indianindustry.com, ISO certification is now effectively a requirement of doing business in the European Union, even though it is not a legal mandate. Efficiency The process of becoming ISO certified forces you to objectively analyze your current internal processes, and can result in the implementation of more efficient and cost-effective production processes. ISO-certified production processes reduce waste, redundancies and safety hazards while ensuring that your business is environmentally friendly. These facts taken together not only reduce direct operating costs, but can also prevent financially damaging legal actions against your company. International Business Reliability and trust in international business relationships is an ever-present concern. With so much distance between companies on opposite sides of the world, it is difficult to truly ascertain whether your suppliers are following safe, humane and responsible business practices. ISO certification is a way to ensure your international business partners that your company adheres to international standards, and by the same token can reassure you that your foreign suppliers are credible and reliable as well.

The following is an overview of how they work together. What is Six Sigma? Six Sigma is a statistically-based process that strengthens organizational capacity for ongoing process improvement. “Six Sigma” or “six standards of deviation” aims to reduce defects to a rate of 3.4 defects per million defect opportunities by identifying and eliminating causes of variation in business processes. In defining defects or errors, Six Sigma focuses on developing a clear understanding of customer requirements and is therefore very customer focused. The DMAIC Methodology.

Iso 9000 or Tqm

...ISO 9000 or TQM Since its birth in 1987, ISO 9000 has been successfully providing quality standards throughout the world, constantly changing and improving in-keeping with the ever-evolving business environment. ISO 9000 as a whole is comprised of 3 major components or sub-systems, which are all responsible for different task groups of quality management: ISO 900:2000 is a guidance document that is designed to standardize terminology and make it easier to conduct business on the global scale. ISO 9001:2000 sets the quality requirement for quality management systems in a wide range of venues and enterprises. ISO 9004:2000 provides guidelines for continuous performance and quality improvement of an already mature business system. Even though ISO 9000 and all of its comonents are heavily intertwined within each other, they are still considered separate systems, or rather, TQM is a much more basic and quite a bit older system that served as a predecessor to the internationally accepted ISO 9000. In many cases TQM serves as the base for the implementation of ISO 9000, which makes for a much smoother transition to its rigorous quality requirements. One component of ISO 9000 quality system, which I believe most closely derived from TQM is 9004:2000, taking even its most basic principle of continuous quality improvement into consideration, it seeks to emphasize the Total Quality Management principle when dealing with the aspects of quality that involve people. Even though this...

...business and economics, gap analysis is a tool that helps companies compare actual performance with potential performance. At its core are two questions: "Where are we?" and "Where do we want to be?" If a company or organization does not make the best use of current resources, or foregoes investment in capital or technology, it may produce or perform below its potential. This concept is similar to the base case of being below the production possibilities frontier. Gap analysis identifies gaps between the optimized allocation and integration of the inputs (resources), and the current allocation level. This reveals areas that can be improved. Gap analysis involves determining, documenting, and approving the variance between business requirements and current capabilities. Gap analysis naturally flows from benchmarking and other assessments. Once the general expectation of performance in the industry is understood, it is possible to compare that expectation with the company's current level of performance. This comparison becomes the gap analysis. Such analysis can be performed at the strategic or operational level of an organization. Gap analysis is a formal study of what a business is doing currently and where it wants to go in the future. It can be conducted, in different perspectives, as follows: Organization (e.g., human resources) Business direction Business processes Information technology Gap analysis provides a foundation for measuring investment of time, money...
