Lean ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems

Have you ever wondered how to get rid of old ISO quality procedures originally designed for ISO 9000:1994?  Many of those old legacy procedures are no longer required by ISO 9001:2000 or the current ISO 9001:2008 standard.  In fact, those procedures may be so out of date that many people aren’t following them, anyway.  If your ISO 9001 QMS contains too much documentation and/or much of it is outdated, this workshop is for you. 

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’ll understand how to conform to the minimum document and record requirements and reduce the bureaucratic waste commonly (and unfairly) associated with ISO 9001.  Now’s the time to learn how to “lean out” your ISO 9001 Quality Management System.  Attend the ASQ St. Louis Spring Quality Conference at the Crowne Plaza in Clayton on April 2-3, 2009, to learn about lean and other great quality topics.
