Pacling
Each process may be supported by other activities, such as tasks or sub-processes. Monitoring and
control of top level processes ensures effective implementation and control of all subordinate tasks or
sub-processes.
Each top-level process has a [Process Definition Doc Title] document which defines:
applicable inputs and outputs
process owner(s)
applicable responsibilities and authorities
applicable risks and opportunities
critical and supporting resources
criteria and methods employed to ensure the effectiveness of the process
quality objectives related to that process
The sequence of interaction of these processes is illustrated in Appendix A.
Note: Appendix A represents the typical sequence of processes, and may be altered depending on customer or regulatory
requirements at the job or contract level, as needed.
Throughout the year, metrics data is measured and gathered by process owners or other assigned
managers, in order to present the data to [Senior Management Team Name]. The data is then
analyzed by [Senior Management Team Name] in order that [Senior Management Team Name] may
set goals and make adjustments for the purposes of long-term continual improvement.
The specific quality objectives for each process are defined in the applicable [Process Definition Doc
Title].
Metrics, along with current standings and goals for each objective, are recorded in records of
management review.
When a process does not meet a goal, or an unexpected problem is encountered with a process, the
corrective and preventive action process is implemented to research and resolve the issue. In addition,
opportunities for improvement are sought and implemented, for the identified processes.

4.2.1 General
The management system documentation includes both documents and records.
Note: the ISO 9001:2015 standard uses the term “documented information”; Cure Laboratories does not use this term, but
instead relies on the terms “document” and “record” to avoid confusion. In this context the terms are defined by Cure
Laboratories as:
Document – written information used to describe how an activity is done.
Record – captured evidence of an activity having been done.
Documents and records undergo different controls as defined herein.
The extent of the management system documentation has been developed based on the following:
a) The size of Cure Laboratories
b) Complexity and interaction of the processes
c) Risks and opportunities
d) Competence of personnel

Cure Laboratories considers risks and opportunities when taking actions within the management
system, as well as when implementing or improving the management system; likewise, these are
considered relative to products and services.
Risks and opportunities are managed in accordance with the document [Risk Management Proc.
Title].

improved performance;
d) the implications of not conforming with the management system requirements.
Note: the management system does not include other aspects of Human Resources management, such as payroll, benefits,
insurance, labor relations or disciplinary actions.
6.3 Infrastructure
Cure Laboratories determines, provides and maintains the infrastructure needed to achieve
conformity to product requirements. Infrastructure includes, as applicable:
a) buildings, workspace and associated facilities;
b) process equipment, hardware and software;

Where equipment is used for critical measurement activities, such as inspection and testing, these
shall be subject to control and either calibration or verification; see the procedure [Calibration Proc.
Title].
Note: Calibration and measurement traceability is not employed for all measurement devices. Instead, Cure Laboratories
determines which devices will be subject to calibration based on its processes, products and services, or in order to comply
with specifications or requirements. These decisions are also based on the importance of a measurement, and
considerations of risk.

7.4 Purchasing
Cure Laboratories ensures that purchased[Product or Service Sing.]conform to specified purchase
requirements. The type and extent of control applied to the supplier and the purchased product is
dependent on the effect on subsequent product realization or the final product.
Cure Laboratories evaluates and selects suppliers based on their ability to supply product and
service in accordance with the organization's requirements. Criteria for selection, evaluation and re-
evaluation are established.
Purchases are made via the release of formal purchase orders and/or contracts which clearly describe
what is being purchased. Received [Products] are then verified against requirements to ensure
satisfaction of requirements. Suppliers who do not providing conforming [Products] may be requested
to conduct formal corrective action.
These activities are further defined in the documents [Purchasing Proc. Title] and [Receiving Proc.
Title].
