Quality Management-Quality Manual for Multi-Location Enterprises

By Mark Kaganov

Since introduction of ISO 9001 Standard for quality management systems the market has developed numerous practical models of quality manuals for organizations with single sites. At the same time, formats for management system structures for multi-facility businesses are limited at best in technical publications. This paper discusses a model for structuring a top-level documentation that allows an organization with multiple sites to use common ISO 9001 quality management system manual. Discussed approach noticeably improves consistency of the organization's quality policies.

As a professional QMS assessor with leading certification organizations, I audited many large multi-site enterprises that had problems with aligning their corporate ISO 9001 quality manuals with the supporting documents issued by their locations. To fill this gap, some companies create quality manuals for their locations as copies of the main quality manual; other businesses develop location-specific quality manuals that are completely independent form the home office quality manual.

In reality, these solutions do not provide for a consistent representation of the organization's position on quality. The first approach, when a copy of the home office quality manual is used, techniques for controlling local quality manuals are usually not determined. Differences in the corporate manual and the site's quality manual are because the corporate office manuals are managed by the home office, while site's manuals are controlled by individual sites.

In the case of the second approach, when organizations allow their satellite locations to have their own quality manuals independent from the corporate manual, differences in quality manuals may create major disconnect of the corporate and local ISO 9001 quality manuals.

If an organization wishes to deliver a consistent message regarding its quality policies, the deficiencies of discussed methods become obvious.

One of Quality Works' clients illustrated this deficiency. The home office manual documented majority of the applicable requirements. At the same time, one of their Mexico facilities did not reference required ISO 14001 standard, another missed a commitment to customer satisfaction, yet the third one forgot to document their training program all together!

As one can see, both approaches above to development of site quality manuals as copies of the corporate manuals or independent quality manuals do not appear to be practical or economical.

To solve this problem, let's review an ISO 9001 quality manual model, specifically supporting document reference structure. As a common practice, a quality manual references supporting documents within the text of the manual. For example, clause 5.5.1 of the quality manual, Responsibility and authority, may read: QW Enterprises, LLP's Management Team ensures that the responsibilities and authorities are defined and communicated within the organization per the Resource Management Procedure and the Organizational Chart.

This method of referencing supporting procedures is very common for quality manuals for companies with single location. Interestingly, it also works for a multi-site business for those documents that are common for all sites. For instance, Audit Procedure, CAPA Procedure, and others may be the common for your all sites and be referenced in your quality manual as demonstrated in previous paragraph.

But, what if your sites use their own service procedures, incoming procedures, in-process test criteria and other unique documents different form corporate procedures? Let's examine how an organization's ISO 9001 quality manual can reference corporate and site-specific procedures.

As with a single-location company, a business can still use the same reference structure if the number of locations or sites is small; let's say not to exceed three. For example, element 8.5.1 Continual improvement, may read: Yellow Submarine Company has established and maintains documented procedures to continually improve its QMS through the use of its Quality Policy, Quality objectives per the Quality Objectives Matrix HO and the Quality Objectives Matrix BA This example references the common Quality Policy and site-specific Quality Objectives Matrix HO (Home Office) and Quality Objectives Matrix BA (Buenos Ares). This model serves well quality management systems with limited number of facilities, but it becomes ineffective when the number of company's locations increases.

When an enterprise has significant number of facilities and needs to reference in its manual numerous procedures including those controlled by its sites, we have another choice. We can develop a matrix to connect our quality manual elements with the location-specific supporting documents. We will title this document a Manual Reference Matrix and establish the following documentation reference structure.

Corporate ISO 9001 Quality Manual element

Manual Reference Matrix Table of Contents (ToC)

Location Manual Reference Matrix

Facility-specific document

The Manual Reference Matrix is simply a list of all facilities and their Manual Reference Matrixes, as shown below:

Manual Reference Matrix Table of Contents

Main Office (Washington, DC USA)

Millburn (Australia)

Cleveland, OH (USA)

Lima (Peru)

Port Williams (Chile)

etc,

To illustrate this model, let's document element 5.5.1 of our corporate ISO 9001 quality manual with references to site-specific organizational charts: QW Enterprises, LLP's Management Team ensures that the responsibilities and authorities are defined and communicated within the organization per the Resource Management Procedure and site-specific Organizational Charts per the Manual Reference Matrix ToC. This statement tells us that the company uses common Resources Management Procedure and site-specific organizational charts. To locate a site-specific organizational chart, we need to refer to the Manual Reference Matrix Table of Contents (ToC).

Let's say we need to locate a Data Analysis Procedure for our Los Angeles plant. When we find this location in our Manual Reference Matrix table of contents, we actually will connect to the location's Manual Reference Matrix. Finding the corresponding clause number in the site's Manual Reference Matrix, we will find a site-specific procedure title that addresses our clause of the quality manual.

Our experience shows that a Manual Reference Matrix works well as a 3-column form with the 1st column titled Corp. Manual section, the 2nd column Corp. References, and the 3rd column called Site References. For the element 6.2.1, for example, the St. Petersburg's Matrix indicates that manual references Training Procedure HO for the home office and Training Procedure SP for the St. Petersburg site.

If you are developing an ISO 9001 quality manual for a large corporation with multiple sites, check the links below for samples of Quality Manual Reference Matrix.

How do you Stay Beautiful Without Spending too Much?

By Kathy Summer

Define and defy beauty without looking like a clown. That is class. To achieve this, you need some cosmetics. Sure, you look fabulous without some blush on and some eye mascara, but for you to emphasize your facial assets, use make-up. On the other hand, you do not need to apply heavy make-up when you want to look like the fairest of them all.

The following are the most important cosmetics you need when you are on the go:

Pressed powder/foundation cake

First rule to stay glowing: do not look oily. Stay presentable by applying some powder on your face. Be sure to put some on your oily zone which is from the forehead down to your nose line. Check out cosmetic stores online and see to it that you are using dermatological-tested powder or else you will be putting your face to harm.

Blush-on or Cheek tint

Applying the right amount of blush-on or cheek tint can do the trick of making you look vibrant, healthy and attractive. There are many different blush-on brands and you for you to achieve the best look, be sure that you know what suits your skin type and complexion. For blush-on, find a blusher that is soft and tender on your skin. Rashes and other skin irritation must be avoided. For cheek tint, see to it that you read directions for use.

Eye shadow

You can buy is singly or in a palette with many different colors. The eye shadow is a must whether you are out for a party or you are meeting some people for a formal gathering. The choice of colors must suit the occasion. Subtle and earth colors can go with your Sunday dress and daily activities. Vibrant and daring shades can complement your night-outs and parties.

Lipstick

Do not exert too much effort pouting just to make your lips luscious. Apply lipstick and flaunt your kissable lips. Your lip stick must have color harmony with your eye shadow and cheek color. Avoid lipstick products that are not recognized in the market because they might bring you unhealthy results.

You can avail these four major make-up elements online through Ebay, Amazon and other internet shopping websites. Consider the brand, the testimonials and recommendations as well as the prices. You have to be certain that what you are buying suits your skin tone and skin type.

Alabama Jubilee Hot-Air Balloon Classic

By Ian Kleine

Been ever to a hot-air balloon festival before?

The Alabama Jubilee Hot-Air Balloon Classic is just that. It's an absolutely awesome place to be in for a balloon enthusiast. Especially if you're living off Alabama, this classic is sure to be an eye-catcher. After all, what person would not turn his attention to the sight of dozens of balloons floating up in the air, each decorated with flamboyant and colorful designs.

The Hot-Air Balloon festival of Alabama is probably the oldest among the balloon races in the Southern area, which originated in the city of Decatur at around 1978. The original race had 17 balloonists from the states of Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio, and the other surrounding and near states. Today, it has more than 60 people participating in the annual races.

The events are usually done at the end of the week, when people have their times free and where they can spend it with their families. All the more, it is aligned with the annual Memorial Day holiday weekend.

Because of this, it also has become one of the top 20 Tourism Events in the Southeast Region for May, by the Southeast Tourism Society. And well put, because the balloon jubilee is a very large event. It, not only spans the land and over water, but also the skies.

If you want to be there, the jubilee is usually held over on the area of Point Mallard Park, a complex which has the water park on it. The venue is well armed with a wave pool (dubbed "America's First Wave Pool") tennis courts, fields, trails, a golf course, a rink and a recreation center. Of course, if you are new to the place, the sight of rising hot-air balloons would clue you in immediately as to where to go to find the site.

You'll find a lot of things to do in the jubilee grounds.

Festival Bloomery

By Ian Kleine

I got dragged into a flower festival one day.

She had a thing for flowers, naming off random names here and there while pointing what genus and species this one was over the other. It was insanity, if not for the fact there were others like her in the same area.

A flower festival is a fair for horticulturists and either a dream or a nightmare for botanists. Contrary to belief, it's not all about flowers. There are ferns too, and shrubbery, some topiary here and there, and a few garden ornaments like a fountain or a flamingo. The Japanese bamboo fountain in our backyard; yep, I bought it at the same flower festival.

There were lots of plants, mostly orchids. The variety that grows in rotting wood, driftwood, pots and eggshells. I chanced upon some carnivorous plants, which were locally from the mountain. They must have carried it along with the orchids. There was this nice pitcher plant that had a nice red and green toning on it. I so wanted one for the flies hanging out in the corner of my backyard.

That afternoon, there was a seminar regarding proper plant care and advanced techniques for ornamental plants. They even had a bonsai-trimming demo which was rather uneventful. A random bird swooped downwards, surprising the person on stage. The shears had cut through the dwarf tree. I was surprised at the collective gasp from everyone around me. Felt like the odd man out not to react at the travesty of the situation.

We left around six o'clock. Me, with the bamboo fountain in a basket on one hand, and the pitcher plant tucked securely in my other. She didn't even buy one for herself. Ironic.

Perhaps, maybe next year, I could go by my lonesome and see what other things I would buy.

The Trend for Stainless Steel Jewellery Explained

By Diane Rice

Steel jewellery comprises stainless steel, which is almost indestructible with normal use. It is constructed carefully by artisans carving a solid piece of steel into the desired shape. Impressively enough, steel jewellery has several strong points, thus, somewhat making it good value for money compared to other forms of jewellery. Although new to the marketplace, stainless steel jewellery, has started to become very popular as people begin to add up the benefits of choosing stainless steel jewellery.

Trendsetting: Stainless steel jewellery is very flexible and works with various fashion trends. Silver and gold jewellery are often worn more for formal occasions. One of the best things about stainless steel jewellery is that it looks great at both informal and formal occasions. Also, stainless steel jewellery is proving to be leading the way in terms of fashion and style. It lends itself to many different looks from high fashion and designer ladies bracelets to biker and goth jewellery and unusual mens pendants.

Durable: Also, as it is more hard-wearing than its precious metal counterparts means that wearers can enjoy stainless steel jewellery every day with out fear of wear and tear affecting its great looks. You don't have to worry about spoiling your jewellery through using it too much.

Low to Maintain: Stainless steel jewellery is low maintenance too. Unlike silver or gold jewellery you don't have to spend all your time polishing it to keep it looking presentable. In cases of damages and major scratches, steel jewellery can be easily repaired by simply polishing these marks without causing any further damage.

Hypoallergenic: Stainless steel jewellery is also helpful for those with sensitive skin. Since stainless steel is essentially different in composition than other materials usually used in jewellery, it is amazingly hypoallergenic, so attracting more and more wearers especially those sensitive to other jewellery materials to make use of this kind of jewellery. Steel jewellery will not tarnish. There's also no need to worry about your jewellery discoloring your skin unlike the usual jewellery made of composite alloys.

How to get No. 1 on Google?

By Alison Cox

Please note: if your site is listed with Google already, then any further attempt in submission would not help expedite listing. If you haven't already tried submitting your site, then the page to submit your site to can be found easily by searching for "Google submit" into Google. Unmistakably their page would be number one on the list but there are other ways to make your site a big favorite for them too.

One good way to get your site indexed quickly by Google is through links from websites that are themselves crawled regularly. Using online directories and there are plenty of them could of course be the best and the most effective way. When your site is tagged with links from high ranking directories you get indexed faster since Google routinely examines these top directories.

The choice is between free and paid subscription directories and you have to pick your choice depending on the money available. Business directories which also have similar interest areas as yours are good since Google is always keen to find links between the two, when indexing your site. The area of operation between your site and the business directory ought to be common.

The sure shot way to get top rankings with Google is to get listed with DMOZ, sometimes called an Open Directory. This is however not the fastest ways to get your site noticed by Google. DMOZ would take their time, weeks or months before you get listed. The reason for this is that every site is checked by a category editor personally and your site could be down below in the queue. One vital point to remember when submitting sites to DMOZ is that you must ensure that you read, understand and follow every piece of guideline and instructions to the tee.

There is yet another way to get noticed by Google and that is through submitting articles to article submission sites. Most of the reputed article submission sites permit you to insert a box called 'About the Author' or 'Author Resource'. This is the place where you insert the link to your site.

If the articles are good, then your articles could also be chosen by other sites for inclusion and this is another advantage of writing articles. It is mandatory for them to use the resource box so that you can access a free link to your site. This is yet another chance for Google indexing your site and if the topic of the article is in line with your business then chances are that you would get increased visitors to your site as well. To sum it up, while you have the option of direct submission to Google, you could also try directories or article writing, which could bring quicker results.

How to Create a Web Page of Your Own

By Alice Seba

It is fashionable for ordinary people to have their own Web page for use in their businesses, or just personally. This is partly because it is now inexpensive and requires little expertise to create a Web page. Creating a Web page is now not the exclusive preserve of 'techies'. Previously, it was necessary to acquire an extensive knowledge of HTML (hyper-text markup language) to create a Web page but now there are several different ways to build a website that utilize far more user-friendly programs. Microsoft offer Front Page, a WYSIW (what you see is what you get) editor. This program creates a Web page like a regular document onto which you drag and drop objects easily. A little practice is involved if you want to create a highly individual page, but the program offers a variety of templates with a high level of apparent professionalism.

So, now we know that you don't have to be a technological genius to build a web page -- what else do you need to create your web presence?

Domain: This is the name of your website. You will need to purchase a name that will represent your company or personal web presence. For example: ebay.com is Ebay's domain name.

Web Host: You will also need to find a company that will store your various files on the Internet. This is called a web host. You usually pay them monthly for their service.

Your Next Steps to Building Your Web Page:

WYSIWG program can set you back several hundred dollars and you create a simple, informative for visitors. If you wanted visitors to interact more with content and add more functionality, such as online shopping, a message board, coupons, a mail list and other possibilities, you could consider a more sophisticated service such as that offered at internetbasedfamily.com. This would allow a website rich in features, with a highly professional feel in a relatively short space of time. They will sell you a personal domain name and will act as a host for your internet-based content. There is a trial for 10 days without any payment so you can check out the services and make sure it is exactly what you want.

All in all, building a website isn't as complicated as you may have thought previously. All it takes is some point-and-click web building software, a domain name and a web host.

Using Cell Styles For Rapid Formatting in Excel

By Carol Alexander

Excel contains a very wide variety of formats that you can apply to your cells. Naturally, when you create your worksheets you want your formatting to be consistent. Cell Styles offer an excellent way of achieving this.

Cell Styles are located in the Style group of the Home Tab of the Ribbon. When you click the Cell Styles button the Cell Styles gallery is revealed. The gallery provides a live preview; when you hover any of the styles, the current selection within your worksheets changes, giving you a preview of what your data will look like if you choose that particular style.

The first benefit of using styles is that you apply several formats in one operation. For example, say we choose the style called "Heading One"; we automatically change the size, alignment and colour of our text. We can speed up the formatting process even further by using the Format Painter to copy styles into the other cells or even other worksheets. Simply highlight an area that already has a cell style applied, double-click on the Format Painter to make sure it stays highlighted then drag across the appropriate range(s) of cells. When you have finished, click once on the Format Painter to deactivate it.

Having applied cell styles in various parts of a workbook, you can take advantage of the most important benefit offered by styles; if we modify the attributes associated with any of the styles used in a workbook, the formatting of all cells to which those styles have been applied will automatically be updated.

When modifying a style definition, since we're not directly applying formats to any of the cells, it doesn't matter which cells are highlighted. To modify the attributes of a style, click on the Cell Styles button, right click on the name of the style and then choose "Modify". You will then be presented with the six categories of formats which can be included in a style: Number, Alignment, Font, Border, Fill and Protection. The list is fairly comprehensive; it includes just about everything that Excel has to offer in the way of formatting.

You will notice that you have the facility of activating and deactivating categories as necessary. Any categories that do not apply to a particular style can simply remain deactivated (i.e., checkbox not ticked). Simply click on each relevant category and make your selections. When you click OK to confirm these changes, all cells to which the style has been applied will be automatically updated.

You need to look out for business when business works online. There are generally a different set of rules on the web and, for the most part, the stakes are a lot higher in the www. world of business.

How to build subscriber lists

By Samo Yanezic

If you want to have lots of potential customers there is one important and useful technique you can use: build subscriber lists. This way you will also be in touch with your customers. Encourage them to sign up without giving out a lot of personal information.

Use just a simple sign box asking them for their email and as an optional their first name. This way they won`t feel they are giving up significant information about themselves. Once subscribed, you will find ways to give them incentive to give more data (if you need them). It will be easier now, because they already have experienced your sales newsletters.

Another way for building subscriber lists are coupons or discounts for your products, free reports or other incentives that your potential customers would be interested in. You have probably seen these on the free trial offers where you only have to pay shipping and handling, for example.

The first place your site`s visitors will see is the top left hand corner, so put the opportunities to subscribe there. While reading other information it might trigger a response to become a subscriber. You can also swap with another newsletter site, where your offer will pop up when they subscribe to that site, and vice versa. Its a good way for both websites to build subscriber lists for customers when the products compliment each other.

You can always use the refer a friend option that allows you to build subscriber lists from existing customers. You can always add a discount or coupon for each friend the refer that might be interested. Add a registration box at the end of all of your emails or a link to your website that encourages registration for your sales newsletter. Use any opportunity to build subscriber lists while giving them some information they will be interested in.

Remember, you are not necessarily trying to sell them something the very first time they visit, because the chances of that are slim. But by getting them to sign up for future correspondence, it gives you a chance to keep presenting your products different ways. You are mainly trying to build familiarity, trust and credibility since people tend to buy from people they trust and feel like they know.

As you continue building subscriber lists, you are getting additional opportunities to get in touch with your prospects. You want to build subscriber lists that are based on quality leads such as recommendations, people who have visited your site or looked at some of your promotional material. You dont want to spend a lot of time working on prospects that dont have an interest or intend to purchase.

Remember, when you build subscriber lists, your goal should be to build your business, one customer at a time.

Number One: You will realise that there are a lot of different categories of beauty salons out there so you need to specialise and choose only one category of salon. If you chose to open a spa and beauty salon, you will need to learn more about spas and what spa equipments you may need.

Second: you will need to find a suitable location so that you will be getting a steady stream of business. There is really no point setting up a hair salon in some back alley where nobody ever goes. It is always great for business to find a prominent storefront where there are plenty of pedestrians for maximum visibility.

Step Three: You can't operate a beauty salon if it is empty so you will need to search for the right beauty salon equipment to furnish your salon.

Step Five: When starting any business, money is probably the most important factor as you need it to pay for the overhead costs. So, one of the most important thing to do is to check the prices of the beauty salon equipments by comparing different equipment suppliers before you commit and buy the whole set.

Sixth step: try to find wholesale salon packages. These are great deals and often include complete sets of salon equipment. Not only are they convenient, these packages are also cheap and great buys.

Number Seven: now that you have set up your salon and it is fully furnished. It is time that you adopt an effective marketing and advertising plan for your business. It is only with proper marketing and effective advertising that you will be able to get customers to your salon in no time.

Eighth step: hire professionals to help you run the salon. If your salon is a small one and you plan to go at it alone, it is perfectly fine but if you plan to open a bigger salon, you will need professionals to provide high-standard and professional services for your clients. Your clients deserve nothing but the best.

Ninth step: continue to improve your services. Once your salon is up and running, you will need to listen to feedback from your clients and continuously improve your services. If one of your salon equipments broke down, it is important to get it fixed fast. Only exceptional service will continue to bring in clients.

Tenth step: sit back and enjoy your fruits of labour. After working hard at your beauty salon business and establishing it, you will soon be able to enjoy the profits and satisfaction of running a successful business in this competitive beauty industry.

Changing Row Height In Microsoft Excel

By Andrew Whiteman

In Microsoft Excel 2007, row height is measured in points. This is the same unit of measurement used for font size. When printing reports, using points makes it easy to relate the height of rows to the required line spacing. This means that it becomes possible to increase the line spacing by simply increasing the height of your rows.

The familiar techniques used for changing column widths (something that Excel users do far more frequently) can also be used to change row height. Firstly, we can make a selection and, in the Cells section of the Home Tab of the Excel Ribbon, we can choose Format - Row Height. Doubling Excel's default row height will give us a fair approximation of double line spacing. Multiplying the default row height by a factor of 1.5 will give you about 1 1/2 line spacing, and so forth.

Excel's AutoFit facility can also be used to automatically resize the height of rows to accommodate the largest font size contained in a given selection. To AutoFit a single row position the cursor at the bottom of the row heading and simply double-click. To AutoFit a range of rows make a selection and then double-click at the bottom of any of the row headings. The same thing can also be achieved by using Format - AutoFit Row Height in the Cells section of the Home Tab of the Excel Ribbon.

In a lot of circumstances, row height can be completely ignored since Excel will automatically adjust the height of rows to accommodate the largest font size found on each row. For example, suppose we insert a header row at the top of a worksheet centred across all the columns containing data. If we then increase the font size of this heading, Excel will automatically increase the row height to accommodate the new font size, pushing the rest of the data down.

Another technique is to increase the row height interactively. This is done by positioning the cursor on the line below the row heading and dragging up or down. As you drag, Excel displays a tooltip containing the row height in points and in pixels.

When you increase the height of a row, the vertical alignment of your data becomes more apparent. By default, Excel aligns text at the bottom of the cell. When you have increased the row height, as you will often do with headings, changing the vertical alignment to centred is usually more visually appealing.

You do not want your television, a lamp, a loved one, or a pet to get Wii'd in any way, after all.

As many of you may already know, before you break out the Wii game and start playing, you want to make sure that you have plenty of room to play. Roughly five feet is normal as you will need a lot of space to move around. Keeping your gaming area clutter-free and clean is definitely one of the things you should be doing, especially if you use the Wii a lot.

Your Wii will have some tips teaching you how to play and especially how to use the controllers. Pay attention! If you do not, you might find that the first time you bowl or play tennis, you send your Wii remote flying right into your TV set.

One of the biggest things that you need to remember to do is use your Wii controller's strap, as this strap is going to help you and ensure that you do not put any holes in your walls, friends or even your animals! Now, if you did buy your Wii before 2006, December, you may want to get some new straps as your straps could snap very easily.

Make sure that you use your wrist when playing, not your whole arm. Do not use the full force of your shoulders either. Both your Wii remote and the Wii itself can recognize light, careful movements.

It's a known fact that everyone gets angry and upset when they are playing a game but you always want to make sure that you do not take it out on the equipment. Your Wii remote is your friend and if you get upset or mad, just take a walk and chill out for a little while.

Without a doubt, the Wii encourages more exercise and activity than any other gaming console on the market right now. Still, playing it for long periods of time is not healthy. Your Wii itself will tell you to take a break once in a while. You should definitely listen to it. Go outside for a bit. Get some fresh air. Your Wii will still be there when you get back, so do not worry about leaving it alone for a bit.

Finally, whenever you plan on sitting down to play your Wii, it might be a good idea to just scope out your play area again. This way, you will not damage anything if you get over excited while playing the game!
