An introduction to Quality Assurance and a guide to the implementation of BS 5750

Abstract

This paper introduces the philosophy of Quality Assurance and traces the development of the British Standard for Quality Systems — BS 5750. The key components of the Quality System are covered and there is a discussion on how to choose a Quality System which is most appropriate to the needs of the particular organization. A comprehensive guide (including flowcharts) is also given which addresses the nature and scope of tasks which must be undertaken in implementing a Quality System commensurate with the requirements of a recognized international standard such as BS 5750.
