most important QM functions that are used in Materials Management (MM).

This includes:

Quality documents (quality assurance agreements, technical delivery terms,

certificates)

Receiving inspection

Management of stock during quality inspections

Usage decision for an inspection lot

The QM system that is actually present is defined in the vendor master at the client level or in
the quality info record for a combination of material/vendor at the plant level.
In procurement (request for quotation and purchase order), the system checks whether the
vendor's actual QM system meets the target QM system's requirements for the material. In
doing so, the system uses the assignment list that you created in activity 3. If the requirement
is not fulfilled, the system responds as follows:
Warning message for requests for quotations
Error message for purchase orders

Suppose you are in a pharma industry and of course you need very high quality raw
materials, so you will surely demand for a vendor who is certified by a well known Body like
ISO/BS.

Example: A customer wants a vendor to verify the existence of a QM system that complies
with standard ISO 9003. The vendor has a certificate that states that his system complies with
ISO 9001, with an audit score > 80. A comparison shows that in this particular case, both
systems are equivalent:
Target QM system 9003 (ISO 9003, with certificate)
Actual QM system 1180 (ISO 9001, with certificate, audit score > 80)
Assignment Actual/target 1180 - 9003

From 2000 onward, companies could not have their Quality Management System
certified to ISO 9002 or ISO 9003, and a company could only certify an ISO 9001
Quality Management System. ISO 9001 was updated from a document
everything approach to a more process-based approach for Quality
Management Systems. This also made the standard more applicable to service-
based industries.
ISO 9000:2005 is the document that records the definitions for the QMS specific
terms used within the ISO 9001 requirements.

With the new version of ISO 9001:2015 there is no mandated documented

procedure. It is the responsibility of the company to determine if they need to
document a procedure in order to ensure consistent results from the process and
the associated procedure.

The supply relationship goes through the following statuses (depending on the results of the
corresponding receiving inspections):

a. Supply relationship created

b. Prototype, specimen

c. Pilot series

d. Series

You use the QM info record to check the current status of the supply relationship.

A process is a set of interrelated or interacting activities which transforms

inputs into outputs. The key for a process is that it takes an input, performs some
activities using that input, and then creates an output. Egs. accounting process
will take reports of expenses, income, and purchases, then create or change any
necessary account records, and finally create financial reports for management
and shareholder review. Likewise, a process for hiring a contractor will start with
a request to hire the contractor, investigation into the right contractor to hire
including quotes, and presenting the selected contractor with a purchase order
to perform the job.
Not all processes need to have a procedure the main decider is if you need to
follow a certain series of steps or not.
a procedure is a specified way to carry out an activity or a process. So, when
you have a process that needs to occur in one specific way, and you have
specified how it is to happen, you have a procedure. An example of a procedure
that would accompany a contract review process might be that you have
determined one way that customers will give you a purchase order, there is a
defined set of steps to review, approve, and accept that order, and then the
order is recorded and distributed in a certain way to your employees.
It is important to note that not every process needs to have a procedure. For
instance, if you have a process that you only buy product from an approved
supplier, but you do not have a defined way to add a supplier to that list, then
you have a process but not a procedure to go with it. Likewise, in software
development there is not one right way to code, and the software developers will
write their code differently not following a procedure; or, when a trained and
certified machinist is given a drawing and decides how to make a machined part,
there may be no one right way to do it, so that person will rely on their skills and
knowledge to decide how to make the part.
