Programme of work to achieve registration to this quality management standard

The programme of work is designed to take the company from its current situation through to assessment and registration comprising:

•           a comprehensive compliance audit of the existing activities and procedures against the requirements of ISO9001:2000 identifying all the areas which fail to meet the requirements; 

•           the drafting of a project plan which identifies in detail the activities necessary to achieve registration and defines the timescale and personnel responsible for each activity; 

•           the drafting of a Quality Manual which defines in principal how you will address each of the sections of ISO9001:2000;

•           the drafting of the Quality Procedures and any supporting documentation which covers the day to day operating systems required to meet the standards;

•           assistance with the implementation of the new and revised procedures;

•           guidance on the choice of an assessment body and assistance with the application;

•           modifications to the Quality Manual and Procedures following the initial review by the assessment body (assuming that we agree that the required modifications are reasonable); 

•           the training and certification of internal auditors; and

•           a preliminary system audit.

This consultancy would be planned to take place at the company and consultancy over a period of

c.12 weeks.  Visits will be arranged to accommodate availability of staff and work.  Each visit is

occupied with fact finding, presenting and discussing the prepared draft procedures, presenting the

manuals providing system management and auditor training in accordance with the schedule of

work.

The work will be undertaken by Arthur Lewis-Dale.  All of the Manual preparation, typing and

printing will be carried out at our offices and is included in the fee cost; for your future

convenience we will provide the documented system on disk.
