In fact, a survey of current automotive suppliers found that a significant number did not know where to go for the latest applicable customer specific requirements.

Please understand that the content of this site will take some time to develop as we work hand in hand with each of you to build a comprehensive database of the thousands of available customer specific requirements.

Since ISO 9001 (clause 5.1) states that management is responsible for "establishing the quality policy" and "ensuring that quality objectives are established", it only makes sense that top management should indicate its approval on the documents designed to ensure an effective quality management system. Do you agree? Top management could delegate the authority to sign quality documents but they still owe it to themselves and other stakeholders to be aware of what's going on.

I started to work as the Quality Manager of a small company. My assignment is to create a documented Quality Management System based on ISO 9001. I want to keep it as simple as possible. Wish me luck. Can you tell me who should sign their approval for those procedures? The Quality Manager, or a member of Top Management? How about the Quality Manual -- who should sign it?

Can you tell me who should sign their approval for those procedures? The Quality Manager, or a member of Top Management? How about the Quality Manual — who should sign it?

Thanks,
