A Proven Successful Quality Assurance System

What is ISO 9000?
ISO 9000 family “The ISO 9000 family of standards represents an international consensus on good management practices with the aim of ensuring that the organisation can time and time again deliver the product or services that meet the client's quality requirements. These good practices have been distilled into a set of standardised requirements for a quality management system, regardless of what your organisation does, its size, or whether it's in the private, or public sector.” (http://www.tc176.org)

What is a Quality Management System
ISO 9000 defines a QMS as:
“ Management system to direct and control an organization with regard to quality”
Why do we need a quality management system?
Quality Management System 1.
2.
A management system to direct and control an organization with regard to quality QMS refers to the activities an organisation carries out in order to satisfy the quality related expectations of customers
Two ways of standard implementation Organisations may: standardize the practice
describing the practice in the language of the standard little or no change of the practice
practise the standard
looking for the best practice to fulfil the requirements adapting the practice to comply with the standard
Core principles of QMS
St anda rd is ed a nd doc ument ed pr oc ess es

An audit trail, so that it is possible to see the system working as described in the documents
