Quality Assurance Book PDF Free Download | QA Book PDF

This guide presents a sample quality control system closely prepared from one developed by a fortune 500 company. It may be used as a guide in initiating your own quality assurance system, whether you sell to consumers, industrial users, or government.
All quality and inspection systems have simple, basic elements in common:
Organization - setting and assigning specific authority and responsibility for each phase of the system;
Quality Planning - writing work instructions with realistic "defect prevention" rules, looking at manufac­turing processes for possible quality trouble spots, set­ting acceptance/rejection standards, controlling ac­cepted/rejected products, and setting up a means of us­ing suppliers' and customers' failure information to im­prove product quality;
Product Specification Control - making sure everyone always has the latest technical data for properly produc­ing, inspecting, and shipping the product;
Supplier Product Quality Control - watching purchases to make sure that the people you buy from know and observe your quality requirements as well as technical specifications;
Measurement and Test Equipment Control - setting up a system to insure that such equipment is properly and regularly calibrated to established standards;
Nonconforming Material Control - spotting defects as early in production as possible and keeping faulty items from reaching customers; and
Records and Reports - setting up a system that tracks all steps of the production, inspection, and shipping cy­cle to identity existing and potential problem areas.
The following sample manual incorporates these basics. It may be adapted to fit your needs. It is recommended that each section of a manual you work up be on a loose-leaf sheet for easy reference and revision. Remember, the best manual in the world won't do any good unless every employee - not just those in Quality Assurance - is convinced that producing quality pro­ducts is of prime importance.
2. A Sample Manual
Introduction

This manual describes for our employees and customers our quality control system. The system applies both to the items we produce and to the items we buy from our suppliers.
As dictated by the complexity of product design, manufacturing techniques used, and customer requirements, more specific written procedures may be required to implement the policies set in this manual.
No changes may be made to this manual or any supplementary quality control procedures unless approved by the plant manager or an authorized representative.
