Area-Specific Procedures

In addition to the area-neutral procedures set out in the QM manual and QA process manual, there are a large number of area-specific rules and process instructions which may need to be taken into account during project execution (an area can be a Business Unit of the PSE, a Division or the entire PSE). A number of important examples include:

  • Area-specific QA instructions:
    These are used for the practical concretization of superordinate QA process instructions (e.g. for executing reviews of tenders in the area).
  • Area-specific guidelines:
    These relate to concrete rules for dealing with general themes such as information security or data backup, ordering/procurement etc.
  • PSE notes:
    These are issued on a whole range of themes and relate to both procedures on general themes such as organization plans, work plans, quality goals, expense accounts and to procedures for project-relevant themes such as:
    • SEM releases
    • Executing cross-departmental projects
    • Project controlling
    • Order sheets
    • Charging rates
    • etc.

Most of these procedures are already available online (via the QM home page and then further to the -> QM system).
