How to Audit the Process-Based QMS by Dennis R. Arter,Charles A. Cianfrani,John (Jack) E. West Pdf

This book is intended to help those involved in managing and conducting audits to ISO 9001:2008. It can be used as a guide to establishing a new audit program or for revitalizing one that has been operational for some time. It focuses on achieving an audit program that produces value-adding results for the organization. Arter, Cianfrani, and West, experts in both ISO 9001 and auditing, believe that the art and science of auditing quality management systems that have been designed and implemented following the process approach (the foundation of ISO 9001:2008) is more challenging and interesting than auditing discrete elements to determine whether documented procedures and records exist. Auditing a process-based QMS, or even small elements of such a system, requires auditors to understand and integrate into an audit all aspects of organizational activities, from high-level planning through ensuring that customers are satisfied. The role of auditing is evolving, and the skills and competence required to do it well also must evolve. The contents of this book will help auditors understand their role in the organization and discharge their auditing duties in a way that is challenging to them and contributes to the success of the organization.

ISO 9001 Audit Trail by David John Seear Pdf

This book has been revised to coincide with the issue of the ISO 9001 Family of Standards by the same author. The intention is to improve the standard of auditing, especially audits carried out under the banner of the ISO 9001 standard. The ISO 9001 standard is quite capable of allowing organizations, certification bodies, and auditors to judge if an organization is capable of consistently providing product or service that meets the customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. At the present time, however, there is no common understanding about what the ISO 9001 audit should achieve. The aim of this book is to explain what auditing is capable of achieving, in particular the method of carrying out audits. There is, however, a need to improve the understanding of the ISO 9000 Family of Standards, and to this end, appendix C contains the first five pages of that book. Auditing can be costly and time consuming, and for it to be effective, it needs to give tangible benefits. This book will enable organizations and other interested parties to judge if their auditing activities are effective and beneficial. It enables them to examine their approach to audits and compare them with the techniques used within this book.

ISO 9001:2015 Internal Audits Made Easy, Fourth Edition by Ann W. Phillips Pdf

Implementing the requirements of ISO 9001 can be a daunting task for many organizations. In an attempt to develop a system that will pass the registration audit, we are tempted to establish processes with the primary purpose of conforming to the requirements of ISO 9001. In doing so, however, it is easy to lose sight of the primary intent of the standard: to continually improve the effectiveness of the quality management system (QMS) implemented at our organization. This book is intended to help managers, quality professionals, internal audit coordinators, and internal auditors implement a practical internal audit process that meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 while adding significant, measurable value to the organization. The tools, techniques, and step-by-step guidelines provided in this book can also be used by those organizations that have a well-established internal audit process but are looking for easy ways to make that process more effective. The tools in the appendices of this book have also been provided on the enclosed CD to facilitate your customizing them to fit the specific needs of your organization.

Unlocking the Power of Your QMS by John (Jack) E. West,Charles A. Cianfrani Pdf

Some organizations just get by. While they may realize some successes over time, they often aren’t traceable to the organization’s quality management system (QMS). Other organizations can trace performance improvements to their QMSs, and therefore are able to sustain and expand upon them. Working from the tenet that performance improvement is too important to be left to chance, the authors of Unlocking the Power of Your QMS have meticulously combed the most fundamental, globally accepted quality standards and criteria, and have culled 12 principles that can serve as a foundation for mature quality management systems. Next, through an assessment by top management, the mission, vision, and business model of the organization are determined and aligned with these 12 principles.West and Cianfrani make the case that “...there is nothing an organization can do that can have more benefit than the development and deployment of its principles.” This book not only convinces you, it provides you with the guidelines you need to dramatically improve performance in your organization.

Quality Assurance by D. H. Stamatis Pdf

Although regularly introducing new products or services is the lifeblood of most industries, bringing them to market can be fraught with peril. Timing, cost, and quality all play important roles in a successful product launch and avoiding expensive — often in more than just dollars — recalls and redesigns. Quality Assurance: Applying Methodologies for Launching New Products, Services, and Customer Satisfaction details continual improvement (CI), a proven process for avoiding common problems and creating customer satisfaction. The book explores the three fundamental approaches required to create a truly CI culture in any organization: a) consistent philosophy of improvement by management, b) receptive organizational culture, and c) the entire culture of the organization must be willing to make decisions based on measurement and data. It outlines the seven principles: research/plan, assure, explain, prioritize, demonstrate, confirm, and show. However, as with CI itself, this attitude must be incorporated into the processes of any organization and create products or services for the market place that will delight customers rather than just satisfying them. Time and cost constraints are the biggest culprits here, not any one person’s lack of due diligence. When this happens, organizations must look at the bigger picture internally and identify it as a system problem. Based on the author’s 35 years of experience, this book covers the essential items for doing the right thing the first time especially during launching a good product and/or service to the customer. It identifies key indicators and methodologies that will help you attain excellent performance, delivery, and cost with both the customer and supplier. In other words, by following these methodologies and indicators, the job will get done right the first time.
