  1. Preparing for Quality System Certification U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan’s Aerospace & Defense Manufactures Roundtable

  2. Discussion Topics • Quality system development • Certification process • ISO 9001 myths and misconceptions • ISO 9001 interpretation of requirements

  3. Quality System Development • Establish unity of purpose throughout the organization • What are we try to achieve with ISO 9001? • How do we want to improve our business performance? • Eight Quality Management Principles (ISO 9000:2000) • Customer focus • Leadership • Involvement of people • Process approach • Systems approach to management • Continual improvement • Factual approach decision making • Mutually beneficial supplier relationships

  4. Quality System Development • Prepare a project plan to manage implementation • Establish scope for the quality management system • “Design and manufacture of fluid power controls” • Establish quality policy • Identify processes required to satisfy the scope • Customer orientated • Product realization processes • Support processes • Management processes • Start defining process details, resources and implementation actions (See 4.1 General requirements) • Monitor, measure and analyze process performance • Set initial quality objectives, plans and communication • Monitor the project progress at the management level

  5. Quality Systems Development • Tips for developing your quality system • Establish awareness that the QMS is the foundation for managing the business • No single business related activity should exist outside of the scope of the system • Include the management staff in the initial development of the system • Include the internal auditors in the system development • Work according to a project plan • Identify information technology (IT) needs up front

  6. Quality Systems Development • Tips for developing your quality system • Keep the documentation light, easy to use and to the point. • Use mix of text and graphical formats • Use simple systems to control the documentation • A picture says a thousand words

  7. Quality Systems Development • Build “working engines” before building documentation • Engines are vital and essential work processes that make the ISO 9001 system work • Management processes • Information collection and analysis processes • Supplier management processes • Improvement processes (C/A, P/A, auditing) • Employee development processes

  8. Quality Systems Development Establish a culture for planning and execution of improvement actions Plan Quality Improvement Act Do Check Quality Policy Plan Productivity Improvement Act Do Check

  9. Quality Systems Development • Critically examine legacy documentation • May not contain vital information • See ISO 9001:2000 4.1 General requirements • May not be user friendly • May cause challenges for internal auditors • Don’t be afraid to start over!

  10. Quality System Development (ISO 9001:2000) ISO 9001:2000 promotes the PDCA methodology for processes (See ISO 9001:2000 page VI) PLAN:establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in accordance with customer requirements and organizational policies Plan DO: implement the processes Act Do CHECK: monitor and measure processes and product against policies, objectives and requirements Check ACT: take actions to continually improve process performance.

  11. Quality System Development • The Process Approach • ISO 9001:2000 promotes the adoption of a process approach to manage the organization. (see ISO 9001:2000 page V) • Provides a focus on inputs, process, and outputs • Enables a systems view by looking at the interconnection and interaction of individual processes • Processes are planned, resourced, implemented and validated/verified. Input Process Output

  12. Quality System Development The Process Approach • 4.1 General requirements • The organization shall establish, document, implement and maintain a quality management system and continually improve its effectiveness in accordance with the requirements of this International Standard • The organization shall; • Identify the processes needed for the QMS and their application • Determine the sequence and interaction of these processes • Determine criteria and methods needed to ensure both the operation and control of processes are effective • Ensure the availability of resources and information as necessary • Monitor, measure and analyze these processes • Implement actions necessary to achieve planned results and continual improvement of these processes

  13. ISO 9001 Myths and Misconceptions • Documentation efforts will cripple my company! • Quality manual • Quality policy and objectives • Six required procedures • Other documents needed by the organization • The organization is responsible to determine the level of documentation required • Document format and media is company choice

  14. ISO 9001 Myths and Misconceptions • ISO 9001 will require us to change the way we manage our business! • ISO 9001 provides a framework • Management determines the methods and manner of operations • Helps management to mitigate risks • Based on Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle

  15. ISO 9001 Myths and Misconceptions • We’ll spend all of our time filling out records! • Twenty (20) record categories • Records are determined by the organization • Used as “collectors” for process performance information • Channels information into analysis processes • Enables management to make improvements

  16. ISO 9001 Myths and Misconceptions • We’ll I have to hire more employees to manage the system? • The ISO 9001 requires management to provide resources necessary to achieve customer satisfaction • Resources are a business case decision • The resources are an investment in achieving the organization’s goals and customer satisfaction

  17. Certification Process • Selection of a registrar • Initial visit and document review • Pre-audit • Registration audit • Post audit corrective actions • Verification of actions • Certificate released, registered in public listing • Surveillance auditing begins at appropriate intervals

  18. What is ISO 9001:2000? • ISO 9001:2000 is a quality management system • Interconnected and interdependent processes • Provides a systematic approach to delivering products or services meeting customer requirements • Enables continuous improvement in achieving defined objectives

  19. Overview of ISO 9001:2000 ISO 9001:2000 is focused on processes Product realization processes Support processes Customer orientated processes Management processes

  20. Overview of ISO 9001:2000 • Product Realization Processes • Design, purchasing, manufacturing, maintenance, packaging, warehousing. • Customer Orientated Processes • Sales, marketing, contracting, after sales support, invoicing, managing complaints, product literature • Support Processes • Training, Calibration, document control, records • Management Processes (PDCA) • Strategic planning, management review, internal audits

  21. ISO 9001:2000 Overview • ISO 9001:2000 is contained in three primary documents • ISO 9000:2000 Quality management systems – Fundamentals and vocabulary • ISO 9001:2000 Quality management systems – Requirements • ISO 9004:2000 Quality management systems – Guidelines for performance improvements • A few guidance documents

  22. ISO 9001:2000 Requirements • ISO 9001:2000 contains five (5) main clauses defining the requirements • 4 Quality management system • 5 Management responsibilities • 6 Resource management • 7 Product realization • 8 Measurement, analysis and improvement

  23. ISO 9001:2000Balancing the Equation + = A B C 6.2 Human Resources 7 Product Realization 8 Measurement, Analysis and Improvement + 5.4.1 Quality Objectives = 6.3 Infrastructure + 8.2.1 Customer Satisfaction = + 6.4 Work Environment
