What is ISO

 Acronym for International Organization for


Standardization
 Head Office at Geneva
 More than 110 standardization
organizations of various countries are
members
 India is represented by Bureau of Indian
Standards
 Objective is to promote development of
common standards worldwide
 Improvement in productivity, operating
efficiency and reduced cost
What is Quality
 The totality of features and characteristics
of a product or service that bears on its
ability to meet a stated or implied need
(ISO)
 Fitness for use (Juran)
 Conformance to requirements (Crosby)
 Quality Systems (getting everyone to do what they have
agreed to do and to do it right the first time) is the skeletal
structure of an organisation, finance is the nourishment and
relationships are the soul.
1-10-100 Rule
 If someone produces defective work and
rectifies it immediately, it only costs him another
equal effort.
 If it slips to is internal customer and he wants to
rectify it then, it will cost 10 times more effort.
 If it has passed on to external customer then it
costs 100 times in terms of cost, efforts and
adverse consequences that follows.
 This rule is even more significant for the service
industry.
The F-Test

Suppose that the letter F represents a defective


item, and all other letters good items.
On the next slide you will see a simple sentence
beginning with the word “FINISHED”.
You will be given 15 seconds to read through the
sentence and count the F’s, ONCE ONLY.
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS

DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME
 If you want to provide Quality products or
services to your customers, both internal
and external, you should double check your
work before you pass it on
ISO 9001:2000 lists a set of
requirements on how your
organization can establish an
effective quality management
system to meet its
“customers” needs.
The ISO 9000:2000 standards
include 3 documents...

Guidelines for Performance Improvements
EIGHT QUALITY
MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES

1. Customer focus
2. Leadership
3. Involvement of people
4. Process approach
5. System approach to management
6. Continual improvement
7. Factual approach to decision making
8. Mutually beneficial supplier relationship
Customer Focus

 Organizations depend on their


customers and therefore should:

 understand current and future customer


needs,

 meet customer requirements, and

 strive to exceed customer expectations.


Leadership

 Leaders should:

 establish unity of purpose and direction of


the organization, and

 create and maintain the internal


environment in which people can become
fully involved in achieving the
organization’s objectives.
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.
Process Approach
• Organizations need to do more than
simply monitor process outputs,
(typically through inspection activities)

 they must also control all process


inputs, (people, facilities/equipment,
material and methods)

 and, they must establish appropriate


controls over the transformation
activities (if desired results are to be
achieved consistently and efficiently)
What is a Process?
Activity that transforms input into output

Input Activity Output

Resources: Results:

How is a Process Managed?
Monitor & Measure the Process
make sure the inputs are right, the transformation
activities consistently work, and the desired results
are achieved, then - improve the process as needed

Input Activity Output

Right Resources: Desired Results:


Qualified People Quality Products
Right Facilities/Equipment Quality Services
Correct Materials Customer Satisfaction
Proven Methods
System Approach

 Organizations must understand a


system is a set of interrelated
processes, and

 the output of one process is the input to


one or more subsequent processes, so ...

 It is critical to manage the “white space”


(or interface) between processes to ensure
that the overall system is effective
Continual Improvement
 Continual improvement of the
organization’s overall performance
should be a permanent objective:

 improvement must be a planned activity if


the organization desires to improve overall
performance and capabilities.
The QMS must be used for
continuous improvement ...
Improve Process
through PDCA Cycle

Factual Approach to
Decision Making

 Effective decisions are:

 based on the analysis of data and


information.
Mutually Beneficial
Supplier Relationships

 An organization and its suppliers are


truly inter-dependent, and

 a mutually beneficial relationship enhances


the ability of both to create value.

FEW QUESTIONS

Allbusiness
processes must be
documented.
FEW QUESTIONS CONTD...
 False. Only those processes which have an impact upon quality
come under the scope of ISO9000. There are a great many
activities which are vital to the overall operation of the
business, but have no direct impact upon the quality of its
products and services. While it is a good idea to document all
important processes as part of your total operational system,
those which do not relate to one of the applicable ISO9000
elements need not be included in your quality system.
 Here are two things to remember.
 Document 100% of the processes you believe are needed to
make, perform and deliver quality products products and
services, irrespective of whether or not ISO9000 specifically
requires them. If you think they are necessary, then ISO9000
thinks they are necessary.
 On the other hand, it is not the registrar’s job to tell you that
might have documented too much. Whatever documents you
include in your quality system will be fair audit subjects,
because you put them in play.
FEW QUESTIONS CONTD...

 A procedure has to be
written in step-by-step
details, so that anyone
who can read will be
able to perform the
task.
FEW QUESTIONS CONTD...
 False. You can never separate the procedure from the
person(s) performing it, from the training or qualifications
needed to perform it, or from the task at hand. Usually,
procedures will be written to the level of a trained person,
because it reflects how most of those tasks are actually
assigned. ISO9001 says it is best; the range and detail of
the procedures… depend on the complexity of the work, the
methods used and the skills and training needed by the
personnel involved in carrying out the activity.
 Driving an automobile is a highly complex process, yet it is
not suited to a detailed, step-by-step procedure. Among
other things, how would you use it? Alternately, changing a
tyre isn’t particularly complicated, yet it isn’t something
most of us do very often. A detailed procedure is perfect for
such a task.
FEW QUESTIONS CONTD...
 You (the company) decide how to write the
procedure, and just how detailed it needs to be.
The objective is to ensure that the right (qualified)
people have all the information they need to
perform the process in as consistent a fashion as
is called for to ensure that the desired result is
consistently achievable.
FEW QUESTIONS CONTD...

 You will meet


ISO9000 requirements
if you document what
you do and do what you
document.
FEW QUESTIONS CONTD...

 False. ISO9000 is not about documentation. It’s


about complying with the requirements of
ISO9001, which also require that you document
how you do them, and record your results. If you
do not comply with all the requirements, it doesn’t
matter what you document. Look at it this way. If
you have a system that is less than adequate, has
major holes in it, or can’t give you consistent
results no matter what you do, what good will it
do to document it?
FEW QUESTIONS CONTD...

 Corrective action must


be taken for all product
non-conformances.
FEW QUESTIONS CONTD...
False. Every non-conformance must be
“corrected”, I.e., scrapped, repaired, reworked,
replaced, accepted on concession, etc. However, the
need for “corrective action”, which is action taken to
eliminate the cause of the nonconformity to prevent
its recurrence, is a judgment call that you must
make. ISO9000 requires that you establish and
document a system for implementing corrective
action. Most registrars would expect you to identify
the individual(s) of function(s) responsible for
making that judgment call, and, perhaps, include
guidelines as to what corrective action is.
FEW QUESTIONS CONTD...

ISO9000 requires
Statistical Process
Control.
FEW QUESTIONS CONTD...

 False.ISO9000 requires only


analysis of data, decision
regarding techniques has to be
need-based.
FEW QUESTIONS CONTD...

All controlled
documents must be
stamped in red, have
approval signatures on
them, and be signed for
by each recipient
FEW QUESTIONS CONTD...
 False. False. False. The gist of the
ISO9000 requirement on document
control is that you must ensure the
right document is in the right place at
the right time, and that obsolete or
superceded documents are either
removed or rendered unusable. How
you accomplish that is strictly up to
you.
FEW QUESTIONS CONTD...

 A company that is
consistently profitable, and
has a high customer
satisfaction rating, probably
already meets 70% to 80%
of all ISO 9000 requirements
FEW QUESTIONS CONTD...
 True. Companies don’t get that way by
accident. Consistent performance requires
systematic operations, good communications
at all level, performance measurement, defect
avoidance, a trained, experienced and properly
tooled workforce………. all the common sense
practices that ISO9000 requires. In our
practice, when we perform a Gap analysis, it
usually includes numerical score. High
performing companies typically score in the
70% range. Those who also have good
document controls, and a mature internal
audit program score even higher.

Dubai.
Example of a Nonconformity
 Example 2 - Poor Version
 P.O.’s were not I.A.W. GP.01

– This raises the following issues:


 What are P.O.s?
 What is I.A.W.?
 Which P.O.’s?
 How were they not controlled?
Example of a Nonconformity
 Example 2 - Better Version
 Contrary to ISO 9001:2000, clause 7.4.1, and
General Procedure GP.01, Revision 4, paragraph
3.2.5, purchase orders were released by the
Buying Department to suppliers that had not been
formally approved. Examples include purchase
orders 837/AJ and 839/PT both of which were
issued to Big Sheet Fabricators who are not
included in the records of acceptable suppliers.
Example of a Nonconformity
 Example 3 - Poor Version
 Training records were poor. They should
be maintained by a senior manager and
subject to a filing system operated by a
trained clerk.
– This raises the following issues:
 Which training records?
 What evidence do you have for this statement?
 Why should we do it your way?
Example of a Nonconformity
 Example 3 - Better Version
 The current training records for production personnel held
by the training officer are not in all cases complete. The
“training history record card” was not signed and dated in
some cases and verification of previous experience was
not provided as required in Quality Manual, Issue 2,
Paragraph 5.4.6. Examples include:
– D. Travers - assembler - No History card on file.
– L. Clark - finisher - No record of previous experience.
– P. Gray - electrician - History card was incomplete for
the first three weeks of training period.
– Reference ISO 9001:2000, Clause 6.2.
