WS4 - Lean out your ISO 9000 Quality Management System
Chris Anderson
Managing Director, Bizmanualz

Does your ISO 9000 QMS contain too much documentation? Have you ever wondered how to get rid of procedures used to conform to the old 1994 version of ISO 9000? Many of those old procedures are not required or needed by the latest version of the ISO 9000 standard. In fact, your people may not even be following them very well anyway resulting in frequent minor audit findings.

Using Lean Thinking, you can reduce your organization’s reliance on procedure documentation. Using a visual workplace you can perform trending and analysis that generates buy-in for change. How about a lean Corrective & Preventive Action Kaizen Process that engages your workforce and communicates the latest improvements to your employees?

Using lean you will understand how to conform to the minimum document and record requirements and reduce the bureaucratic waste commonly associated with ISO 9000. Now is the time to learn how to lean out your ISO 9000 Quality Management System.
