The product and service provision planning process defines the following controls, as appropriate to the product. This plan is sometimes called a quality plan.
The quality objectives and regulations
- Quality objectives should be measurable, consistent with the quality policy and relevant to product and service conformity.
- They should contribute to the enhancement of customer satisfaction.
- Quality Objectives should be communicated throughout the organization and updated to ensure relevance to changing business needs.
- An effective quality management system should align the quality policy with objectives.
- It will provide the framework upon which to translate these objectives into functional targets.
The necessary processes, documents and resources
The required checks and criteria for product acceptance
- How do I monitor and measure product characteristics?
- Establish and define the process for inspection and testing activities to verify that products and materials conform to specified requirements throughout the product realization process by identifying appropriate: References, e.g. specifications or legal and regulatory requirements; Methodology, e.g. random sampling,non-destructive testing or in-process monitoring; Documents, e.g. inspection and test plans; Acceptancecriteria, e.g. defined by ISO standards, legal or regulatory requirements; Responsibilities, e.g. authority for acceptance
The records needed
- A document can be thought of as a sheet of paper with blank fields for certain types of data or information.
- The document is the blank paper,but it will become a record when a manager or employee fills it out.
- The resulting plan may be a one-off, project-specific plan or more general documentation.
