Original Issue

2.2 Document Control Methodology of QM

The QM is prepared by MRP and approved by the Managing Director by signing the “Revision Record” page.

QM sec. 2.1 Ver 1.0 Page 1 of 1

Page 5: Quality Manual.doc

Quality ManualISO 9001: 2000

Managing Director reviews the QM during MRM to assess continuity, adequacy and conformity to customer and other statutory and regulatory requirements and other applicable external standards.

The QM is made modular by dividing various topics into Sections. The sections Nos. are aligned with ISO 9001:2000 clause numbers, for cross-reference.

Changes required in the QM are communicated to MRP on Document Change Request Note (DCRN). Managing Director reviews the changes for adequacy and if approved, suitable changes are made. Managing Director approves the changes in the “Revision Record” page.

Revisions are identified with a Version number in numeric e.g. as ver 1.0, where 1 is Issue no. And 0 is revision no.

Whenever any page of a section is revised, the whole section is revised to next version number e.g. ver 1.1, 1.2 and so on. After 9 revisions the version is automatically raised to next Issue no. and the Revision no. is reset to 0.

If substantial changes to the various sections of the QM are required, whole manual is re-issued by raising the version no. to next round digit and resetting all the decimal nos. to 0.

Brief description of revision is given in the “Revision Record” sheet.

MRP maintains the Master copy of QM whose each page bears a stamp “MASTER COPY” in color.

MRP makes photocopy of the master copy and sends it to the controlled copyholders after stamping each page with “CONTROLLED COPY” in color.

The respective controlled copyholder is identified on the covering page of QM. MRP communicates any major changes to the QMS to the certifying body along with the details of revisions.

Master copy of superseded sections/pages is stamped with “OBSOLETE COPY” and is kept for reference with MRP, as required. All other controlled copies are promptly destroyed by the controlled copyholders.

MRP with sole consent from manager, issues “Uncontrolled copy” for knowledge / reference purpose only, with a stamp on each page as “Reference Copy, no revision services will be provided”, in color.

The QM is reviewed and revised, if required for references of Sub-Processes (SP), as and when required.3 INTRODUCTION

3.1 Company Profile

In the year 1979 “Maharashtra rubber” was started on partnership basis to cater to the

Page 6: Quality Manual.doc

Quality ManualISO 9001: 2000

requirements of the then “Maharashtra Scooters” in Satara & Rubber parts for compressor to “Kirloskar Hermatics” in Karad.

Considering the market demand of scooters & the required rubber parts, such as matting, etc., “Satara Polymers Pvt. Ltd.” was established in 1988.Since then supply of rubber parts to “Bajaj Auto Ltd.” started. In the year 1994, to cater to the requirements of metal to rubber bonded items, “Aditya Elastobond Pvt. Ltd.” was established. This sister concern helped in fulfilling the requirements of Telco-Pune, Kirloskar Copeland Ltd. – Karad / Atit.

As the market demand changed from scooters to motor-bikes & four wheelers, looking into globalization, cost reduction techniques, the policy of production on labour charges to major customer “G. B. Rubber”, Pune started.

We are having facilities of Mixing Mill, Phospheting plant, Vacuum presses (250 T), Hydraulic presses (75T-200T), Tool room, Shot blasting, Lathe, Milling machine, Drilling machine, etc. and measuring instruments such as Hardness Tester, ETM, Load Testing machine, Weighing scales, Height gauge, Micrometers, Vernier Calipers, etc.

4 QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

4.1 General requirements

The organization has established a QMS to comply with the requirements of ISO 9001:2000, requirements of its customers and statutory and regulatory bodies.

QM sec. 3.2 Ver 1.0 Page 1 of 1

Page 8: Quality Manual.doc

Quality ManualISO 9001: 2000

These requirements and the policies of the company are documented in this Quality Manual. The documented QMS requirements are further elaborated in the Sub Process Manual, which states how a particular Sub-Process is operated / controlled and its implementation details.

The effectiveness of the QMS is continually improved and reviewed in MRM’s. The organization has identified the processes within the QMS and determined the sequence and their interactions, in the following:

Annex-A: "Organization chart" shows the interaction and hierarchy of different functions.

Annex-B: "Processes/Process Owner Interface Matrix" details the Process Owners and supporting responsibility for various business processes/ functions/ QMS elements.

Annex-C: “Business Map” and "Key process mapping" detail the sequence and interaction of various individual key processes within the quality management system, Process concerns and the required Process Controls / Process Quality Objectives.

The sub-processes in the SPM, detail the criteria and method of operation and control, so as to ensure that they are effectively monitored, measured and analyzed to achieve customer satisfaction and continual improvement.

The sub-processes are documented, in a way, to ensure that they adopt a Process Approach (Plan-Do-Check-Act).

The Check stage ensures that the Sub-Process is effectively operating and the Act stage details the actions/ recommendations on continual improvements.

Control of outsourced processes is done through the standard purchasing procedures detailed in QM section 7.4.

Ref: SP-QMS-001…Adopting Process approach.SP-COM-006…OutSourcing of material for processing.

4.2 Documentation requirements

4.2.1 General

The quality policy and quality objectives are laid out / documented in QM section 5.3 & 5.4.1.

The QMS is documented in three levels, which covers the entire scope for which

QM sec. 4.1 Ver 1.0 Page 1 of 1

Page 9: Quality Manual.doc

Quality ManualISO 9001: 2000

registration is sought.

Level 1: Quality Manual (QM)

The apex document contains the Quality Policy, outline of the Quality System, and quality objectives of the management.

It also defines responsibilities and authorities of various personnel related to quality activities.

The QM is prepared and issued by the MRP after being approved by the General Manager. Every section of the Quality Manual is assigned a unique version number.

Level 2: Sub-Process Manual (SPM)

These are the documents which describe in detail the Sub-Processes, as to how a specific activity has to be undertaken and define the standard of acceptability for the company’s Product / System.

These are intended for Sub-Processes / Activities requiring details for performing an activity.

These are prepared by the SH and / DH and approved by the General Manager.The MRP controls the issue of the SPM.

The methodology for the numbering system for Sub-processes is as follows:

Identification asSub-Process

Key Process Acronym Serial No.

SP QMS / TM / RM / COM etc. 001, 002, 003, so on

eg. SP-RM-002 is Sub-process no. 002 of Resource Management Key Process.

QM sec. 4.2.1 & 4.2.2 Ver 1.0 Page 1 of 2

Level 3: Formats

Formats are used to record the results of a process. Copies of blank formats are used for this by way of taking printouts or photocopies.

Lists contain data required for reference during implementation of a QMS Process.

A specimen copy is kept with MRP to control approval, issue and changes. This contains the latest Version number.

Page 10: Quality Manual.doc

Quality ManualISO 9001: 2000

The methodology for numbering the Formats / Lists is as follows:Identification as a

Format/ListKey Process Acronym

Serial No. Within the Key Process

F or LS QMS/TM/RM/COM etc. 001, 002, 003, so on

eg. F-RM-001 is a Format no. 1 in Resource Management Key Process.

New formats introduced after 01-01-05 are identified with no. as per above system. Formats that are in use, before 01-01-05 do not necessarily have Format #, but, a specimen copy of the latest Format is kept with MRP as required.

Raising the version number numerically (e.g. 1.1, 1.2 and so on) by following document change procedure makes revisions to the Sub-processes and forms.

The above 3 levels of documents are supported by Product documents such as engineering drawings, published standards, Quality Plans, customer drawings, customer specifications, raw material specifications etc.

4.2.2 Quality Manual

This quality manual details the scope of the quality management system in QM section 3.2 and the documented procedures are referenced at relevant places/ end of each section.

The Annexure A states organization structure and Annexure B & C describe the interaction between different key processes of the quality management system and their sequence and interaction with references to the Process Owners and key resources required.
