QM Manual of Siemens AG Österreich, QA Process Manual

QM manual
The QM manual of SAGÖ describes the quality policy and structure of the QM system operated by Siemens AG Österreich. The manual is of modular design and is available online.

QA process manual
The QA process manual of SAGÖ has the same structure as the QM manual and contains QA process instructions which apply for all areas of SAGÖ (SAGÖ part) and those which are PSE-specific (QA process manual, PSE part). It must be complied with (mandatory) throughout SAGÖ / PSE. The PSE-specific process instructions are available from PSE QM online.

Other applicable documents, QA instructions, external documents
The bottom level in this hierarchy of QA specifications is occupied by the "other applicable documents", QA instructions and external documents:

  • Other applicable documents generally consist of detailed descriptions or additional procedures for the QA process instructions. SEM has the status of an "other applicable document"; other examples include the IS specifications and the audit process manual.
  • QA instructions are drawn up in the organizational units (Division / Business Unit / Group / Project, etc.) and are used for the practical concretization of superordinate QA process instructions. They are mandatory for the scope defined in the QA instructions.
  • External documents forming part of the QA specifications include customer-specific process models (SEPP, PEPP, SNI-PHB, etc.). The extent to which these documents are mandatory must be set out in the QA plan.
