Daman,
Good work, and congrats to you, you deserve the best

EXCELLENT!

Congratulations on achieving the goal!

Can you share your experience? How tough was it compared with QS ones?

Great Manual

tattva,
I just paid for attachment access and downloaded your interaction map. It's fantastic! I can't believe you did that in Powerpoint! Are the PT... numbers listed in red your level 2 procedures? Are you willing to zip the other 4 sections listed and post it here?

thanks for all your thanks, this was much tougher than qs9000 because you had to prove that you did things rather than qs which gave you a list of things you must do and how to do them. it is whetehr your own method actually satisifes the assessor/the standard. i am now taking time off working half days only for awhile and i hope all of you do as well in your assessments if you need anything let me know

Manoj,

Can you pls. explain as to what exactly you mean by 'process maping'. An example would be very much appreciated.

Rakesh -- ISO 9000:2000 and therefore TS16949 require that you develop your
system on the basis of process flows. Many people had already done this
approach for earlier ISO 9000:1994 or QS9000, but it was not mandatory.

Usually we think of process flow diagrams for very specific processes, like
manufacturing 1 part. The new standard requires that you look at
your whole business in terms of process flow at a much broader level.
For example, what is your entire process for new product development--
from idea to completed product? Or your process for building product, from
order to delivery?


I recommend a few possible resources to learn more:

(1) TS16949 Implementation Guide - Published by AIAG
(2) TS16949 PRocess Mapping Tool - Also by AIAG

These docs are free if you are an AIAG member, or you can purchase them
if not. See AIAG.COM, look in the Quality section.

The general notion of process flow approach is also covered in the ISO
document Q9004:2000. This will cost a few bucks, too, but is often
included if you take an accredited ISO 9000:2000 course.


Regards,

Brad

1 Page Manual

Per clause 4.2.2, the QM needs to contain the scope of the QMS, including details and justification for any exclusions, the documented procedures established for the QMS (or reference to them), and a description of the INTERACTION between the processes of the QMS - THAT'S IT. I know of a registered organization that has a 1 page quality manual - it can literally be that simple.

Wow, I sure would like to see that.

Hello all, I am new to this crazy "quality" world. We need to transition from QS to TS. I am lurking about seeking examples so as to not reinvent the wheel. I am so glad to have found this forum (actually found by a coworker) and read all of your experiences. It is giving me a better understanding of all I have been reading and being told. I still have a long way to go.

Thanks!

Mary
