PURPOSE

The purpose of this procedure is to:

a) Identify documents defining the quality management system, production processes, and products: and

b) Assign responsibilities for establishing and maintaining the documentation.

APPLICATION

Scope: This process pertains to all documents utilized in the Dee Electronics quality system.

PROCEDURE

1. General

1.1 The scope and extent of quality system documentation is determined on the basis of the complexity and interaction of processes, elements, and activities; and on competence of personnel. The documentation is sufficient to ensure the effective planning, operation and control of the quality system, processes, and products.

The documentation structure that is used in this quality system consists of four tiers:

• The first tier of the quality system documentation structure is the quality manual (including documented Quality Policy), which covers all requirements of the standard, makes reference to quality system procedures, outlines the documentation structure and illustrates Dee Electronics’ positive commitment to fulfill these requirements.
• The second tier consists of documented procedures, which are specified methods for managing activities. These procedures are consistent with the requirements of the standard and DEE’s quality policy, and are to be implemented effectively.
• The third tier is work instructions, which are highly specific ways to perform activities.
• The fourth tier consists of records, forms, tags and other documentation.”
