Quality Management System Manual (QMSM / QMS) Revision 8

In advance of the complete systems review and reaccreditation process commencing mid-October 2020, the Quality Management System Manual (QMSM) has been substantially revised to better reflect current company procedures.

This revision incorporates widespread amendments to content, but generally retains the previous structure. A complete list of changes has not been produced for this reason. 

Quality Management System Manual

Please review and provide feedback

Please review the QMSM in detail and provide feedback. All suggested amendments will be reviewed, and if approved will be included in a subsequent revision of the QMSM prior to the upcoming reaccreditation.

The recently updated Quality Management Plan (QMP) that sits below the QMSM will also be reviewed against this manual. If you have any proposed amendments to the QMP, please let us know.

Accredited Management Systems

Having accredited management systems is a prerequisite for government works and many other jobs – particularly institutional investors. 

These accreditations play a critical part in securing work for Hutchies.
