Internal communication
Internal Communications
Since most planning activities are carried by multifunctional teams, effective internal communication should be established by documenting decisions taken during meetings and responsibilities assigned.
Systems should be established in various departments so that information of activities of QMS is passed on to persons concerned. Proper distribution of procedures and instructions is an important means of internal communication
Clause 5 requirements (Contd….)

Customer Communications
ISO 9001: 1994 specifies communication only for contract review. The new standard with its focus on customer satisfaction goes much further. It requires that communication channel be established with the customer for general enquiries and for providing information about products, contract, order program and customer feedback/complaints.
Marketing, Sales and customer service departments should be given clear responsibility for providing requisite information concerning their field of activity.
Customer contact groups such as telephone operators and reception should be informed of the responsibilities so that customers are directed to the right person. Customers may also be informed about departments handling different aspects.
Customer Communications
There is no significant change in other requirements of product realization processes which were earlier given in clause .of ISO 9001:1994.

Section 5
Documentation
It is information and its supporting medium.
Examples: Specification, drawing, procedure and records
The medium of document could be papers, magnetic, electronic,optical disc, photograph or a sample.
(ISO 9000:2000, 3.7.2)
Documentation
What is a document ?
Need for Documentation
In managing an organization, documentation is used:
• As a tool for information transmission and communication
• Evidence of conformity that what is planned has been done.
• Preservation of knowledge of the organization such as design data, studies conducted and documented experience.
Documentation Objectives of the New Standards
Two of the major objectives in the revision of ISO 9000 series of standards were:
• To identify simplified standards that will be equally applicable to different types of organizations including small scale industries.
• For the amount and detail of documentation required to be more relevant to the desired results of organization’s activities.
Extent of Documentation
ISO 9000:2000 has significantly reduced the documentation requirements and is much less prescriptive than the 1994 version of the standard. It allows an organization more flexibility in the way it chooses to document its quality management system (QMS). This enables each individual organization to develop the minimum amount of documentation needed in order to demonstrate the effective planning, operation and control of its processes and the implementation and continual improvement of the effectiveness of its QMS.
It is stressed that ISO 9001 requires a “Documented quality management system”, and not a “system of documents”.
Documentation Requirements
ISO 9001:2000 clause 4.2.1 states that the quality management system documentation shall include:
• Documented statements of a quality policy and quality objectives;
• a quality manual
• documented procedures required by this International Standard
• documents needed by the organization to ensure the effective planning, operation and control of its processes, and
• records required by this International Standard.
Flexibility in Documentation
The new standard is less prescriptive than 1994 version and allows flexibility to the organization in developing QMS documentation which may differ from one organization to other due to:
• Size of the organization and type of its activities
• Complexity of processes and their interactions, and
• Training and competence of personnel
Existing Documentation in the Organization
Most organizations in the organized sector would already be having considerable documentation for successful management of their business. This documentation may include:
• Company rules & procedures
• departmental and operating manuals
• Product specifications / product drawings
• Process plans/instructions
• Production schedules
• Approved supplier lists
• Test and inspection plans, etc.
Adoption of Existing Documents in QMS Documentation
There is a need to analyze existing documentation for their usefulness in effective control over important processes for assuring customer satisfaction. It has also to be verified whether these documents are being followed. If so, these documents must be given unique identity and brought under document control for integration into QMS documentation
Determination of Need for New Documents
• In addition to adaptation of existing documents for implementation of quality management system, the organization may need certain additional documents to comply with ISO 9001:2000.
• The type of documents and records which may possibly be required by the companies in the organized sector is given in the succeeding slides.
• List of clause-wise documents and records is suggestive in nature. The management decision to have these documents will depend on the complexity of the processes and the training/competence of staff.

Formulation of Quality Policy
Quality policy is the first step in the development of quality management system
• The quality policy emanates from the vision and mission of the organization. It should describe what quality means to your business and customers.
• Quality policy should reflect top management’s commitment to quality.
• To make the policy meaningful it must include overall quality goals for your business.
• Quality policy must be brief for ease of understanding by employees.
• Quality Policy is normally included in quality management manual.
Quality Manual
Quality manual is the basic document which describes the QMS
• ISO 9001 standard does not prescribe any specific format or a model for the quality manual. It could either be structured in the order of process flow in the organization or according to the applicable elements of the standard. In case of process flow model it may be useful to provide cross reference with the standard clauses for ease of internal and external audit.
• Quality manual should contain an overview of the different processes of organization and how various requirements of the standard are met.
Quality Manual (contd….)
Quality manual is high level document as such it contains very little detail of the processes. However, it provides reference to departmental manuals and other documents which give further information of processes.
As quality manual can also be used as promotional material, it should not contain anything that is confidential.
Contents of Quality Manual
Quality manual should normally include the following though not necessarily in the same order:
• Brief background of the company
• Scope of the QMS with justification for exclusions if any.
• Quality policy
• QMS documentation containing list of documents such as departmental manuals, procedures and other documents required to operate QMS.
• Quality records and their control
• Organizational structure
Contents of Quality Manual (contd….)
• Quality related responsibilities of main functionaries including management representative.
• Document control
• Management commitment for QMS
• Method of internal communication
• Human resource management

Contents of Quality Manual (contd….)
• Identification and traceability

• Control of non conforming products
• Corrective and preventive action
