Quality Manual best approach

During our Stage 1 document review, our auditor said that we should consider drastically reducing the Quality Manual, which I agree with. What is the minimum size and scope that a QMS Manual should look like? For example, why should anyone document in the manual the actual standard? I have one I have put weeks into, that is blended between ISO:9001 / AS9100 / IATF16949 however it does reek of a regurgitation of the standards. What is the best simple approach?

The best simple approach would be to cover all requirements of the standard with a simple explanation of how your company complies with them. You should also include a link that will lead to a document that describes with more details how you meet the requirements of the standard
