The quality system survey is the implementation guide for any quality management system but only half of the answers to survey questions are contained in the quality manual or QMS procedures that are referenced in the manual. Survey answers that earn high audit scores from a Registrar have two parts - 1) The QMS procedure names and paragraph numbers that establish the policy to achieve compliance, and 2) The work product that demonstrates compliance, which includes records, part numbers, project names, work instructions and testimony.

If you're a quality manager, make it your life's ambition to convince all the major operational stakeholders in the Company to accept joint ownership of quality and compliance strategies. Quality management is so much more efficient when everybody is singing from the same sheet music. If you can't organize the orchestra or even cleanup the orchestra pit, click here to try Efficient QMS™ to at least organize the sheet music.
