Vendor Quality Management System
Vendor Quality Management System
Some companies - in particular, government agencies and large corporations - require their vendors to verify that an appropriate quality management system is documented, implemented and in use within their organization.
Ever since the ISO 9000ff series of standards received general recognition, many companies have obtained ISO 9000 certificates from accredited organizations. The scope and requirements of quality management systems, however, vary according to the needs of individual companies.
As a result, many different models and requirements exist for verification management systems. However, many of these requirements apply only to certain parts of the quality management system and are therefore covered by the certificates.
You must determine whether the specifications of the quality management system fulfill the certification requirements on a case-by-case basis.
A customer requests a vendor to verify that his quality management system complies with the AQAP-4 standard.
The vendor has a certificate confirming that his quality management system is certified according to the ISO 9001 standard. A comparison in this case reveals that both systems are equivalent.
