How CADMUS.pro Works
The system guides you through the process and you will begin preparing your documents by entering your company name which will automatically be added to the headers and footers of your Quality Management System (QMS). You will then map your key operational procedures together with some management processes, using the easy examples given.
After mapping your key processes, the main document that you need to produce is your Quality Manual which is essential for certification and will be generated from a questionnaire. You will be asked questions, followed by acceptable answers as examples, and then you will be given the opportunity to amend the examples or provide your own. Your answers will be stored and converted to the Quality Manual for your use. Remember, if whilst completing the questionnaire you do not have any appropriate processes in place that demonstrate your compliance with the standard, the questionnaire helps you to introduce them to your business.
When you are audited for ISO 9001 you only need to show how you comply now, you will not be asked about past compliance. Once you introduce any new processes it is a good idea to have evidence as soon as possible that they are in operation so that your certification is issued as quickly as possible. You will only need basic Microsoft Word skills to use CADMUS.pro.
Below is an examples of how it looks:
The CADMUS.pro system will enable you to produce all the documents required with tips and guidance for managing your own quality system, and will prepare you for the visit from your chosen certification company, for example ISOQAR Ltd. These include:
- A Quality Manual
- Your Management procedures
- Your Operational procedures
You will also need to carry out some internal audits, but easy to follow guidance is included in the programme, as are some examples. The CADMUS.pro system gets your business ready, and you will develop some skills and knowledge that will enable you to run the system yourself.
The system is suitable for small family businesses and large companies, as well as public, private and voluntary sector organisations.
Please note that you will still need to commission a company to award the certification that will charge you a fee which quite often based on the number of processes you have and the number of bases you operate from. This is the case whether you use the CADMUS.pro system or commission a consultant.
