Quality manual and procedures in small company

I need to write a quality manual for a small manufacturing company. I am confused by all the documents that are referred to in a Quality Manual -what should be included in a quality manual - are all the external docs required also?

Answer:

There are basically two options when writing the documentation. you can ether put your procedures into quality manual or make reference to them in the manual and write them as separate documents.

Since you are implementing the standard in a small company, maybe it would be better if you include the procedures in the manual instead of having them as separate documents. These procedures don't have to be too detailed, you can shortly describe how the processes are carried out and what records are used within the process.
