The AS/NZS 9001:2000 Quality Management System (QMS) requires a company to meet certain standards in order to comply with this system. If your company is undertaking this project you will ultimately be required to satisfy and evidence to a Quality auditor that your quality system manual is an accurate description of your business operations in line with the standards set down in the QMS.
Any company undertaking this project will have to make a plan to manage the required a way that is controlled ands available to those that are directly responsible for its content and relevance. Typically this QMS manual will be written in a text format as Word documents and saved in folders on your computer system. This method is difficult to manage and maintain and will be a time consuming task for whoever is responsible. Given the level of knowledge of the business' systems required for a person to manage this, the project usually falls in the hands of a very senior employee or indeed the owner of the business. Therefore the time and money invested in preparing and successfully attaining quality assurance can be substantial.
