Software takes fear out of writing ISO 9000 instructions
Article Abstract:
Powerway Inc. has developed a software program that creates an organized and concise instructions document, a requirement of the ISO/QS 9000. The program, called Instruction Writer9000, is operated through the use of tool bars. A feature, Wizard, provides a step-by-step instruction in creating the required instruction documents. Instruction Writer9000 also allows the user to create a flowchart based on the instructions using AllClear flowchart technology. Moreover, it creates a draft document to allow the user to place the document to its proper context in the ISO/QS 9000.
