Preparation and development of a quality management system (NP EN ISO 9001: 2008) for a producer company of industrial application components

The concern with Quality management started in Japan during the 50's. Since then, the certification using the ISO 9000 series standard is considered by companies, as a tool that guaranties Quality for their products/services. The current project objective is the preparation and development of the documental support for a Quality Management System (QMS) based on the standard NP EN ISO 9001: 2008, for further implementation in a producer company of industrial application components. For that purpose a check-list was created, based on the standard requirements, allowing to identify the existing conditions and development needs in the host company. With the information obtained using the check-list and direct observations of the company's "modus operandi" "in loco", the support documentation was developed suitable to its needs and in agreement with the standard requirements. Creating the support documentation is the first step for the implementation and respective continuous improvement process of QMS, leading to the certification of the company's implemented System.
