Quality Manual Prep: How Long Does It Take?
If you’re under the gun from a customer’s demand that you get ISO9001:2000 registered, and you have lots of personnel resources at your disposal, you might be able to get it done in a couple of months. If you’re trying to implement the quality standard while you’re learning it, and you have no time constraint, I’d expect it to take you up to 6 or 7 months.
If your operations are complicated it will take longer, if you run a rather simple business, it will be quicker, of course. There is no correct answer here, everyone takes as long as they have.
Tell us about your particular situation. How long do you think it should take?
