Oxebridge Guidance Document Compendium Ver.1 A full collection of the free Guidance Documents originally published on the Oxebridge website. [www.oxebridge.com](www.oxebridge.com) © 2017 Oxebridge Quality Resources International LLC – Tampa FL USA – Lima Peru Introduction Since 1999, Oxebridge has been offering free consulting, guidance and training, as well as pro bono assistance in resolving problems with registrars and accreditation bodies worldwide. We’ve published dozens of free Guidance Documents on the Oxebridge website, but it was becoming unwieldy to find them easily. To make things easier, here is a compendium of all the best Oxebridge Guidance Documents, up to date for the latest ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 Revision D standards. Remember that in addition to this free Compendium, Oxebridge offers a totally free set of QMS template documents for both ISO 9001 and AS9100 . We think template kits suck, but free template kits suck less. We urge you to approach such kits with caution, but if you want to try and save thousands of dollars by creating your own QMS, these kits are a great place to start. You can grab the ISO 9001 kit here, and the AS9100 kit here. Surviving ISO 9001 Oxebridge VP and Founder Christopher Paris – the author of the Guidance Documents found herein – has written the first honest book on ISO 9001, Surviving ISO 9001:2015 – What Went So Wrong with the World’s Foremost Quality Management Standard, and How to Implement It Anyway. Christopher Paris presents a fantastic, one-of-a-kind insight into how the latest version of the world’s foremost quality management standard got so wildly off the rails, and then provides unique implementation guidance for those companies that find they have still to implement it, whether to meet a customer mandate or simply to keep their QMS up to date. Surviving ISO 9001 features all the humor and hard-hitting satire of Eyesore 9000, and comes with an adult language warning for occasional “sixteen-letter, four-letter words,” but despite the jokes, presents an incredible insight into how the standard was made, and how to interpret it for everyday use. Broken into three sections, Part 1 discusses how the standard came to be, and reveals the political infighting and backbiting that resulted what many see as ISO’s worst standard ever. Part 2 discusses step-by-step how to implement ISO 9001, using proven, real-world examples and advice. Part 3 then provides a handy checklist that puts the implementation steps in an easier order than if you follow the ISO 9001 clause sequence itself. You can purchase the Surviving ISO 9001:2015 e-book by visiting [http://www.survivingiso9001.com](http://www.survivingiso9001.com).
