Advantages

The QMS Database provides and clear, logical tool for managing all of the required records for ISO 9001, AS9100, AS9120 and other “ISO based” quality systems.

Concise instructions guide you through the requirements of each record.

Template documents are included to aid in the development of your quality management system.

This is not a fancy program language that is impossible to edit and it isn’t putting your data out into cyber-space.  It is yours, on your network or local computer and completely editable by you anytime.

No “Per-seat” fees.

Top Mistakes

Starting a new system is difficult and we have listed here a few of the typical mistakes companies make.

• Keep documentation simple and specific to your operations. Generic documents are often meaningless or just wrong.
• Keep your Quality Policy and Quality Objectives statements as separate documents, not a page in the Quality Manual.
• The Quality Manual must include the “scope” of the QMS including exclusions and justification for the exclusion(s). Exclusions are limited to section 7 of ISO and AS.
• Ensure you have all records in place and ready for audit. Often records are scattered on a computer network and people cannot readily find what they need.
• Keep the Quality Policy statement simple. It must include a written commitment to meet all requirements and to continually improve the QMS.
• Corrective action and preventive actions are different. Have records of both. If you have these two somehow linked as one action item; it’s very likely to be wrong.
• The internal audit process must be effective. Have a reasonable schedule, good checklists and trained people who audit to a schedule and who keep detailed records of the audit.
• A registrar’s audit validates a working quality system. Do not wait for them to audit (validate) the system before you put the system to work.

Self Checklist for ISO Readiness

1. Are all required documentation approved and released for use?
2. Are all employees trained as necessary for their piece of the QMS and have records of this training?
3. Have you completed a comprehensive audit of the QMS and have the records to back it up?
4. Can you demonstrate a linkage between the QMS processes (required in section 4.0) to the internal audit plan required by 8.2.2?
5. Can you demonstrate your customer’s perception of your company with recorded data?
6. Can you show data and records that substantiate the quality objectives and demonstrate current performance working towards achieving quality objectives?
7. Have you conducted a complete management review and have the records readily available to prove it?
8. Can provide records to demonstrate conformance to each and every requirement of ISO and/or AS?
9. Ensure that references to ISO are limited to addressing the company; never product.
10. Job descriptions are not required but are a good tool to establish competency. Can you show records to validate competency of each employee?
