Planning changes to the QMS

Answer:

Presently I am working with a manufacturing shoe company with a QMS for production of comfort fashion shoes. They are making a change to their QMS to include in the scope the production of occupational uniform shoes to corporations – other requirements, other materials, other processes.

Last year I worked with an injection molding company that duplicated the number of machines and changed location to another site, with a lot of new workers recruited – that was a great change in planning, operating and controlling production.

Some years ago, I worked with a machine manufacturing company. One of their operations was painting parts of the machines. Then, due to stricter environmental legislation they decided to subcontract that operation to a painting services specialist. They had to change their production planning and quality control to consider the new flow of production.

I hope that these examples show what can be considered “a change to the QMS”.
