Steps to Establish a Quality Management System for Tobacco Laboratories

What are the steps to establish a quality management system for a tobacco laboratory ? Generally, it takes certain steps and sequences to establish a quality management system for a tobacco laboratory. If you are going to establish a quality management system for a tobacco laboratory, it is recommended that you must understand the relevant steps in detail. Let's take a look at the factory inspection consultant's introduction to the steps of establishing a quality management system for a tobacco laboratory.

The steps to establish a quality management system for tobacco laboratories are as follows:

1. Comprehensively and systematically learn and understand the "Laboratory Accreditation Criteria". Enhance the quality management awareness of personnel by participating in the training of professional audit institutions or adopting internal training and assessment according to their own characteristics.

2. Formulate quality policies and objectives. The top person in charge of the laboratory shall personally preside over the formulation and specify the level that the quality system should achieve (the overall purpose, direction and goal in terms of quality).

3. Determine the elements and procedures. Generally speaking, tobacco laboratories involve all ten elements of technical requirements. Among the fourteen elements of management requirements, except for "subcontracting" which can be selected according to one's own situation, all other elements are involved. At the same time, considering that tobacco product standards have many clauses and detailed projects, the testing equipment used is relatively professional (bringing difficulties in calibration), and there are many sample circulation links, it is necessary to focus on and design elements such as samples, equipment, methods, reports, and records.

4. Set up organizational structure and assign quality functions. When assigning and coordinating the responsibilities and interfaces of various quality activities, the complete "quality activity cycle" of serving customers → contract → sampling → sample acceptance → task assignment → testing activities → data recording → issuing reports should be used to determine various quality activities and processes, divide functions, and implement responsibilities.

5. Prepare quality system documents, including quality manual, procedure documents, work instructions and instrument operating procedures, etc.

6. Publicize and implement system documents and conduct trial operation. Make sure everyone is familiar with and understands the system documents and is familiar with their respective responsibilities. During the trial operation, timely internal audits and management reviews should be conducted in combination with the operation status to identify problems and formulate measures so that all quality activities can be carried out in a disciplined, orderly, effective and coordinated manner.

7. Operation and continuous improvement. After the quality system is officially put into operation, its operation status and actual effect should be monitored and measured through internal audits and departmental target assessments, and continuous improvement and perfection should be made as the laboratory develops to ensure the integrity, effectiveness and suitability of the laboratory quality system.
