Identify and define all of your policies towards the Standard chosen. Record this information in the Quality Manual.

Start by setting up an implementation team that represents the experts from the various disciplines of your company's operations, i.e. Sales, Marketing, Scheduling, Manufacturing, Design, Purchasing, etc. Each individual needs to address their policies towards the requirements of the compliance Standard chosen. The policies need to be addressed/defined in the Quality Manual. In other words, you are defining your company's approach towards the requirements of the Standard by using that Standard as a guideline to define "Where and how do we meet those requirements?"
