ISO 9001:2000 Standard

The first four clauses (clause 0. Introduction to - clause 3. Terms and Definitions) do not provide any requirements for a QMS. They provide background information as to the purpose; concepts and principles used in the standard (e.g. process approach; PDCA); guidance on the QMS scope; reference to related documents; and key terms and definitions used. These clauses will all be explained in more detail as we go through each section.

The remaining five clauses numbering 4 through 8 provide the control requirements that a QMS must implement. The following is a summary explanation of these 5 major clauses or elements of the ISO 9001:20000 standard. Each major clause has several sub-clauses. Collectively, these 5 clauses set out the requirements for your QMS.

Clause 4- Quality Management System - sets requirements to identify, plan, document, operate and control QMS processes and to continually improve QMS effectiveness.

Clause 5- Management Responsibility - sets requirements for top management to demonstrate its leadership and commitment to develop, implement and continually improve the QMS.

Clause 6- Resource Management - sets requirements to determine, provide and control the various resources needed to operate and manage QMS processes; to continually improve QMS effectiveness; and to enhance customer satisfaction by meeting customer requirements.

Clause 7- Product Realization - sets requirements to plan, operate and control the specific QMS processes that determine, design, produce and deliver an organization’s product and services.

Clause 8- Measurement, Analysis and Improvement - sets requirements to plan, measure, analyze and improve processes that demonstrate product and QMS conformity and continually improve QMS effectiveness.

The overall objective of your QMS must be to enhance customer satisfaction by meeting their requirements. This objective can be achieved by using the ISO 9001 requirements to control your QMS processes and by continually improving QMS effectiveness.

The Eight Quality Management Principles

Principle 1 - Customer-Focus
Your organization depends on customers and therefore your organization should understand current and future customer needs, meet customer requirements and strive to exceed customer expectations (see clause 5.2; 7.2; and 8.2.1).

Principle 2 - Leadership
Leaders establish unity of purpose and direction of the organization. They should create and maintain the internal environment in which people can become fully involved in achieving the organization's objectives (see clause 5)

Principle 3 - Involvement of People
People at all levels are the essence of an organization and their full involvement enables their abilities to be used for the organization’s benefit (see clause 6.2).

Principle 4 - Process Approach
A desired result is achieved more efficiently when related resources and activities are managed as a process (see clause 4.1).

Principle 5 - System Approach to Management
Identifying, understanding and managing interrelated processes as a system contributes to the organization’s effectiveness and efficiency in achieving its objective (see clause 4.1)..

Principle 6 - Continual Improvement
Continual improvement of the organizations overall performance should be a permanent objective of the organization (see clause 8.5.1 and 4.1).

Principle 7 - Factual approach to decision making
Effective decisions are based on the analysis of data and information (see clause 4.1e and 8.4).

Principle 8 - Mutually beneficial supplier relationships
An organization and its suppliers are interdependent, and a mutually beneficial relationship enhances the ability of both to create value (see clause 7.4).

These eight management principles form the basis for all QMS standards within the ISO 9000 family. Each of these principles is included as requirements in one or more clauses of the ISO 9001:2000 standard.

Managing Quality

This first step in building a ISO 9000 Quality Management System is the creation of a "Quality Manual". This is a separate and distinct step from developing quality procedures. The purpose is to state in a concise and brief format, the policies and objectives of the company required to achieve a desired level of quality for the organization or division.

More than likely the input for the Quality Manual will come from your customers. It is the customer that drives the Quality Process. There requirements, needs, and future desires are the basis for implementing an ISO 9000 quality system in the first place.

At a minimum, the ISO 9000 Quality Manual is required to address each one of the paragraphs of the applicable ISO 9000 Series that the company plans to become registered against. ISO 9001:2008 is the focus of this manual. But, you may need to expand the scope to include EMS 14001, QS-9000, AS-9000, or other industry specific quality requirements.

Each area that is written should include, at a minimum, three parts: Scope, Policy and Responsibilities.

The Scope portion should simply state the purpose of the covered area.
The Policy portion should state the company policy regarding the applicable ISO clause.
The Responsibility portion should state who, in generic titles or positions, is responsible for the policy.

ISO 9000 does not require a specific format for the Quality Manual. A sample manual is provided in this guide for your use as a template to create your own Quality Manual. The Quality Manual Table of Contents is based on the ISO 9000 standard itself. This ensures that each required element is addressed and provides an excellent starting point for building your Quality System.

ISO 9000 Quality Manual Consist of:

Master List
Forward
Administration
Company Information
Quality Management System
Management Responsibility
Resources Management
Product Realization
Measure Analysis Improvement
Attachment

b. ISO 9000 Operating Procedure
The ISO 9000 Operating Procedure Template includes and integrates the top level ISO 9000 quality manual and the six required quality procedures, thus containing the most difficult part of the ISO 9000 documentation. The ISO 9000 Operating Procedure Template include the detailed samples of the Operating Procedures to fulfill the ISO 9001 : 2008 requirements for the procedures, making the customization process even easier. The entire manual follows the structure of ISO 9001 : 2008.

ISO 9000 Operating Procedures Consist Of:

Control of documents
Control of records
Internal Audit
Control of non-conformance product
Corrective Action
Preventive Action
Training
Purchasing

c. ISO 9000 Forms
ISO 9001 : 2008 does not require forms but ISO 9001 : 2008 requires to keep records. Our well-designed forms make it easy to record the necessary information. In addition, our well-designed forms guide the user through a business process (for example, our Corrective & Preventive Action Plan Form guides you through the entire corrective action process), ensuring not only that all data is recorded but that all steps have properly been executed.
All our ISO 9000 Forms:
can immediately be used without any or with only little modifications(if you really need to, you can easily edit and customize in Microsoft Wordor Excel).
are designed by experienced quality managers and ISO 9000 auditors so that all forms are fully compliant with ISO 9001 : 2008 requirements.
are professionally laid out so that they are really easy to use without separate instructions.

Trait Theory

Assumptions
People are born with inherited traits.

Some traits are particularly suited to leadership.

People who make good leaders have the right (or sufficient) combination of traits.

Description
Early research on leadership was based on the psychological focus of the day, which was of people having inherited characteristics or traits. Attention was thus put on discovering these traits, often by studying successful leaders, but with the underlying assumption that if other people could also be found with these traits, then they, too, could also become great leaders.

Stogdill (1974) identified the following traits and skills as critical to leaders.



Traits Skills
Adaptable to situations
Alert to social environment
Ambitious and achievement-orientated
Assertive
Cooperative
Decisive
Dependable
Dominant (desire to influence others)
Energetic (high activity level)
Persistent
Self-confident
Tolerant of stress
Willing to assume responsibility
Clever (intelligent)
Conceptually skilled
Creative
Diplomatic and tactful
Fluent in speaking
Knowledgeable about group task
Organised (administrative ability)
Persuasive
Socially skilled




McCall and Lombardo (1983) researched both success and failure identified four primary traits by which leaders could succeed or 'derail':

Emotional stability and composure: Calm, confident and predictable, particularly when under stress.
Admitting error: Owning up to mistakes, rather than putting energy into covering up.
Good interpersonal skills: Able to communicate and persuade others without resort to negative or coercive tactics.
Intellectual breadth: Able to understand a wide range of areas, rather than having a narrow (and narrow-minded) area of expertise.
Discussion
There have been many different studies of leadership traits and they agree only in the general saintly qualities needed to be a leader.

For a long period, inherited traits were sidelined as learned and situational factors were considered to be far more realistic as reasons for people acquiring leadership positions.

Paradoxically, the research into twins who were separated at birth along with new sciences such as Behavioral Genetics have shown that far more is inherited than was previously supposed. Perhaps one day they will find a 'leadership gene'.
