QMS Component: Manufacturing Procedure

Manufacturing Procedures are detailed procedures outlining the manufacturing processes to be undertaken to ensure that the trailer types manufactured are completed in accordance with the engineering documentation. This section of the QMS should also outline the types of tools and equipment to be used in the manufacturing trailer types.

This section must outline the procedures to be undertaken when manufacturing trailer types, and describe the process that ensures the engineering drawings and specifications are transferred into work instructions used by the personnel manufacturing the trailer. References to the tools and equipment, and the required calibration and maintenance procedures should be included in this section.
