What is ISO 9001:2000?

Sun, 01 Jan 2006 03:46:55 -0500

Information on ISO 9001:2000

The International Organization of Standardization, (ISO) is a worldwide organization that develops many different kinds of Standards.

ISO 9001 is a series of documents that define requirements for the Quality Management System Standard. ISO 9001 is one of the documents in this set; it contains the actual requirements an organization must be in compliance with to become ISO 9001 Registered.

ISO 9001:2000 is the current version of the Standard. It was revised in the year 2000. Past versions of ISO 9000 included ISO 9002 and ISO 2003, but those are no longer in use. Companies are now only Registered to ISO 9001.

Steering Team

Tue, 06 Dec 2005 10:28:51 -0500

ISO Steering Team

Determine who will be on the team. Include top management. Answer these questions:

Who will be able to decide which employees will be assigned tasks?
Will they know whether the employees' workload will be able to accommodate the assigned tasks?
Who is responsible for resources and can make resources available to the ISO 9001:2000 project?
This group should continue meeting as the “ISO 9001:2000 Steering Team”

Use the downloads listed in the right column of this page to prepare for your ISO Steering Team Meetings.

Prepare your Agenda:

Explain the Implementation Steps to the team
Download and use the PowerPoint presentation ISO 9001:2000 Implementation
Use the PowerPoint presentation “ISO 9000 Implementation Tips and Techniques” to give the team an overview of the dos and don’ts of implementation.
Assign the tasks to individuals or teams. Complete the Task Team Assignments Table
Review the responsibilities to make sure that they are well dispersed, not assigned heavily to one group or one individual.
For each team identify a team leader. It works very well to have a member of the ISO Steering Team as a leader for each of the Task Group teams. It provides good communication between the teams and the ISO Steering Team throughout the project.
Determine resources required for completion of the tasks.
Will teams or individuals need assistance with other responsibilities during the ISO 9001:2000 project?
What kind of technical guidance will be needed to allow these teams or individuals to complete the tasks efficiently and effectively?
1. Assistance from the management representative?
2. Prepared materials?
3. Special Training?

Assign dates to tasks. Complete the Gantt Chart

Complete the Gap Analysis before starting the Task Teams. They will use information from the Gap Analysis.
Stagger start dates according to resources available.
Determine which tasks you need to complete in the beginning to allow others to build on, for example: Management Responsibility. Complete the Quality Policy and Quality Goals as well as identifying key processes and their interrelation early on in the project.
Estimate the amount of time needed to complete each task based on the amount of resources available to the task.
ISO Task Teams
The Task Teams that are set up will each look at the requirements for their process and procedure. They will be responsible for comparing the requirements of the standard to the current process used at your company. They will design a new process, or modify the current process so the company will be meeting ISO 9001:2000 requirements. They will write a procedure for the new process, and give it to the ISO Steering Team to review. Once the procedure is approved, they will introduce it to employees, training as needed. The company will then start using the new process/procedure.
It is important to remember that not all of the Task Teams need to start working at the same time. The ISO Steering Team will want to prepare a timeline and assign start and end dates for the Task Teams. Visit the ISO Steering Team Page for downloads of the Task Team assignments and a Gantt chart for the project.
Task Teams
The team leader is responsible for scheduling the first team meeting according to the plan on the Gantt chart.

  - The completed Gap Analysis will show the team what requirements are not being met by your current process.

What is an ISO 9001 Gap Analysis?

Thu, 01 Dec 2005 17:56:00 -0500

What is an ISO 9001 Gap Analysis?

One of the first steps in your Quality Management System (QMS) transition or implementation project is to compare your current QMS to the requirements of the ISO 9000:2000 standard. This is most commonly called a Gap Analysis.

The most important tool for the Gap Analysis is the Gap Analysis Checklist....

Establish an Internal Audit Program

Thu, 01 Dec 2005 14:38:55 -0500

Internal ISO 9001 Audit Program

Choose your audit team

You will want to have a number of trained internal auditors for your audit program. You will be auditing each area of your facility once or twice a year, with an audit team of 1 to 4 auditors depending on the size of the area. You will want to have enough auditors trained so that the auditors will not audit their own area, and so that you are not pulling one person away from their work too often. A general guidance number is 10% of the total number of employees; a company with 50 employees would train 5 auditors, and company of 100 would train 10. As the number of employees goes up, the percentage would go down.

Look for employees that have a strength in investigating issues and that are good communicators. The better people skills the auditors have, the smoother your audits will be performed.
