About this Quality Manual Template
Hi, I’m Rick Hogan.
I made this quality manual template for two reasons:
- To help labs that couldn’t afford to hire me,
- Because I was tired of seeing ugly quality manuals that no one uses (b/c they don’t work).
So, I decided to listen to customer feedback and make a quality manual template that is practical, functional, and easy to use.
The main goal is to have a quality management system that:
- Meets ISO/IEC 17025:2017 requirements,
- Meets laboratory requirements, and
- That lab personnel will actually use.
I know that you may be thinking “That is impossible,” and “No one actually uses the quality manual (except QA).”
Well, I am here to tell you that is not true.
The problem is you don’t have a quality manual that is easy to use and that employees understand. For them, it is easier (and faster) to just ask management (i.e. you).
Trust me! I have been there.
While it feels good to be the person with all the answers, all of these interruptions affect your productivity and profits. Not to mention, how good is your quality management system if you are the only one who knows it. Think about it. What are your personnel doing when you are not around to answer their questions? The answer is whatever they think is the right thing to do.
So, if you do not like getting interrupted 30 times a day to answer questions employees could find in the quality manual (if they just looked), you may want to consider redesigning or reformatting your quality manual.
It could make a BIG difference that…
- Saves you hours of your life,
- Eliminates stress and headaches,
- Improves your productivity, and
- Increases your bottom-line.
After all, you are running a business.
If you think this is impossible, ask me. I have actually managed an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited lab and helped plenty of other labs implement systems that got them accredited. Additionally, I have done this recently; not 20 or 30 years ago before the standard existed.
Real-world experience matters!
Make sure that you consider this when selecting a consultant or buying a solution for your laboratory. Many consultants have ZERO experience operating an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab.
