anything you may want. Documents, Work Instructions, Flow Charts, and I

Were a mold shop looking to go ISO 9001:2000, I've been to a 2 day class on
ISO Standards. This makes me the "expert" here. I'm looking for help with
some examples\templates or past experiences on how to get started and what
it looks like when I'm done.

Jim,
I held/hold a role in our QS9000 certification effort. (Management
Rep/Lead Auditor. Some very simple premises to follow, "Say what you do, Do
what you say, then prove it". In your 4 levels of documents, Policy,
procedure, instruction, records. Policy describes your system in general
terms, procedure describes WHO is going to do WHAT and WHEN they are going
to do it. The instruction describes HOW you're going to do it. The records
PROVE you did it. Your policy should follow closely the the ISO manuals.
Your procedures should stick to who's responsible for what without great
detail, If you get too detailed an auditor will trip you. Keep in mind that
your system has to continually evolve to be effective. Don't plan on
writting out an ISO system and think you're done with it. You will NEVER
EVER be done with it. You have to review and change countless times before
it literally fits whats really happening. Lastly, simpler is better.
