In 2018, ISO published the third edition of the standard on quality plans, ISO 10005:2018 Quality Management – Guidelines for quality plans. The new standard has the following major sections:
Using a quality plan
Development of a quality plan
Content of the quality plan
Operation and control of the quality plan
It also has two useful annexes:
Annex A Examples of formats for quality plans
The examples are:
A “text” type of quality plan
A “table” type of quality plan
A “Flow chart” type of quality plan
Annex B Schematic representation of a process approach applied to quality plans
This includes a diagram that is a variation of the SIPOC diagram.
