An Innovation in Action Offering
Description: ISO 9001:2015, specifically clause 7.5.3 on controlling documented information, presents challenges for organizations operating in fast-changing environments. Transitioning from outdated paper-based systems, which were often cumbersome and bureaucratic, to a more dynamic, process-oriented approach necessitates a fresh perspective on developing a Quality Management System (QMS).
Modern organizations must navigate a sea of information influenced by external factors and various integrated systems, including SAP, CAD/CAM, and QA processes. To help employees effectively manage these complexities, a comprehensive playbook can serve as a guide. This playbook will ensure workers have access to up-to-date and accurate information, facilitating their ability to perform their roles efficiently. The presentation will include a practical tool to illustrate this approach effectively.
