4. CONTEXT OF THE ORGANIZATION

4.1 Understanding the organization and its context

Technodent Industries clearly understands the external and internal issues that could affect the
implementation and following the Quality Management System It has planned and derived steps to
mitigate their impact 0n the system in case they happen as follows:
The external issues could be:
1. Although so far we have been able to compete in the international market on the basis of quality and
price. However any competitor in any of our enemy countries like India or Israel may come up with
lower prices just to let us down being from Pakistan. In the urge to mitigate this threat, we are
keeping our eyes open and searching for the latest development in teeth manufacturing throughout
the world. If anything is known which could help us bettering our quality with reduced cost, we will
definitely be following it.
2. One of the external issues could be devaluation of our currency. But this will not affect us adversely
as we sell n quote in US dollars.

3. If there is a devaluation of the currency of the country where we are exporting it could affect our
business with them, however we try to cooperate with our regular customers as much as possible as
we want to maintain a long term business relation with them.
4. Political relationship of our and the countries where we export is also very important and can have
positive or negative impact on our business. So we remain conscious about it. If anything of the sort
happens, we would immediately take precautionary steps so as to not weaken our business relations.
5. The clients may have reservations for our late respond to their quarries etc. Our response to our
customers for their quarries or complaints if any is very important and we make sure we are very
quick on that so that relationship is not spoiled.
6. Any change in regulations by the government regarding our product or imposing any further export
duties on our products. For this we keep in touch with the concerned authorities so that we could
know such things in advance to enable us take precautionary measures.
7. We may have issues with SGS regarding the audit dates or the charges for external audit. We will
resolve these by negotiations and SGS has always responded positively.
8. Due to political reasons or otherwise the suppliers of Acrylic powder and Acrylic liquid may refuse
to continue their supplies. For this we have already tapped alternate suppliers in China and Iran just
in case such thing happens.
9. External issues from the suppliers, from the subcontractors of plastic accessories or any customer’s
adverse report (complaint) have been addressed in the Risk analysis report.

The internal issues could be:


1. Employees may leave without any prior information. This is not a big issue as we have a number of
candidates waiting for being employed due to large un employment. We will call out of them and
prepare them for the job through training.
2. There could be Electric break downs thus affecting our production and resulting in delay of order
completion. We have standby generator to mitigate this issue.
3. There could be a number of problems in the production process at different stages, These have been
discussed in the Risk analysis report.

4.2 Understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties


Technodent Industries is very well aware of the needs and expectations of the internal and external
parties and tries its best to come up to their expectations. The internal parties are the Management
and the Employees and the external parties are suppliers and the customers.
Internal:
1. The interest of the management is smooth running of the company affairs with increased
profits by increasing sales and production with reduced rejections. For this the top management is
always on the lookout of any opportunities for enhancing its sales. Not only that we send our
product brochures and other relevant literature to end users of our products around the world but
also participate in almost all International Exhibitions with the sole purpose of exploring more
business opportunities as well as collecting feedback of existing customers. Addition of new
plastic molded dentistry related products with the brand name of SHEHPAR is the result of this
effort. We are also keeping an eye on the new developments in regard of production processes in

Date: Sept., 05, 2017 Document # TI/QM/01
62-Mozang Road, Lahore-Pakistan

our field as per our quality policy. More than 150 new molds for teeth are under preparation on
CNC machines which will reduce our wastage and hence increase profits.
2. Interests of the employees are good salary, job security and safe & healthy working environment.
For this we train our employees to be more skilled & useful. We provide them with masks,
goggles and gloves where necessary. They are also provided conditional job security with
chances of promotion. They are well aware of the fact that if they work honestly according to
their job requirements, they will not be thrown out rather they have a chance of promotion to the
supervisory, foreman and even manager level. Awareness and motivating sessions are conducted
within the premises for the purpose.
External:
1. Customer”s interest is good quality delivered to them as per contractual agreement (in time) and
at compatible rates. Technodent Industries gives maximum importance and regard to its
customers. We make sure all queries are promptly responded and needs and demands of the
customers are clearly understood before making any commitments and then we honour our
commitments. Ref: Procedure for contract review (QSP/8.2.3/01) & Format TI/Mgmt/CR/01. We
keep in touch with our customers and try to get their feedback with the intention of evaluating
our performance and try to reach 100% satisfaction of our customers. Ref: Customer feedback
procedure (QSP/8.2.1/01) & format # TI/Mgmt/CR/01.
2. Supplier’s interest is to have maximum business from Technodent. We at Technodent also
believe in a long tern relationship with our suppliers but not at the cost of any harm to our
interests. In the beginning we judged them for quite some time before listing them on to the
approved supplier’s list but we have an evaluation and re- evaluation procedure enforced to
continuously monitoring their performance. Ref. (QSP/8.4.2/01)
4.3 Determining the scope of quality management system
The scope of the quality management system has been determined as mentioned at point 1

Technical Files

Control of Documents: Ref: Procedure QSP-7.5.3/01

Approval and Issue Changes


Documentation affecting quality are reviewed, approved and authorized for adequacy by Director
Production / International Marketing prior to issue. Changes to documents are reviewed and
approved by the same functions that performed that original review and approval. Documents are
issued and maintained, identifying the nature of the changes wherever practicable.

Copy Control
All documents, which affect quality, are issued on a “Controlled” basis. Holder of controlled copies
are automatically issued with updated versions. Holder of controlled copies shall destroy or return the
obsolete versions to the sender on receipt of an update.
A proper record of distribution of controlled documents like the manual and work instructions is
maintained in file # B-09, A master list of the current revision and issue of documents is maintained
in order to preclude use of non-applicable documents and to identify obsolete documents which
require retention for commercial, legal or historical reasons.
A unique numbering system for the control of documents has been developed in the organization.
Since Technodent is producing with two brand names WELBITE & CRISMA, we have two
numbering systems for both in order to distinguish, the system is as follows;

For control of Batch record of WELBITE, the numbering system is:


TI / X / BB / CC / DD (For Welbite brand)
Where “TI” represents Technodent Industries, “X” represents the color shade starting from 1 and
goes up to 8, “BB” represents the date, “CC” represents the month and “DD” represents the year.
This form will travel though all the functions where relevant people will just tick the function after
completion or fill in the figure required if required.
At the end of this batch record form will be kept in record for a period of two years after the delivery
of the batch to the client after which it is discarded as in case of any complaint by the client it will
reach within 2 years. The same number is then shifted onto boxes in which the teeth made from the
batch are packed.

For the control of batch record of CRISMA


The numbering system and the whole procedure will remain the same except “X” this will change to
“X-Y” where “X” stands for alphabets; A / B / C or D and “Y” stands for digital representation 1/2/3
etc. and a combination of both these alphabets and digits represents the color shade of the interiors
and posteriors such as A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, C-1, C-2, D-1, D-2, etc. (This coloring system is
recognized and understood internationally. However the numbers used with “A” are 1.2, 3, 3.5 & 4.
With “B” are 1, 2, 3 & 4. With “C” are 1, 2, 3 & 4 and with “D” are 1, 2, & 3. so there are a total
number of sixteen color shades.

Subject: Quality Manual Rev. # 02
Date: Sept., 05, 2017 Document # TI/QM/01
62-Mozang Road, Lahore-Pakistan

The control system for the work instructions is as follows;


TI / WI / XX / YY where “TI” stands for Technodent Industries, “WI” for work instruction and
“XX” stands for the function for which the work instruction has been written, i.e “SM” for shade
making, “CM” for color mixing, “MD” for molding, “FI” for finishing, “TR” for trimming, “AS” for
assembly, “QC” for quality control, “CLB” for internal calibration, of thermal gauges, “YY” stands
for the serial number of the instruction (for the particular function mentioned at “XX” starting from
01.

Control of External Documents;


All external documents like Material Safety Data Sheets, standards, literature, legal requirements,
etc. are controlled and properly filed in file no. B-18, A list of all such documents is available in the
same file.

Technical Files and Data (CE Marking)


All the technical files and data for CE marking are retained with Director Production and he is
responsible for the issuance and control of such documents related to CE marking. Documentation
referred to in the Master Device Record; stored for the period of at least two years after the last
product has been manufactured.

Obsolete Documents
The departmental Heads/ Director Production dispose of obsolete documents. An “Obsolete” stamp
identifies such documents. However the obsolete documents are retained for a period of six months.
Since it is difficult to specify the product life as well as its traceability after use by the doctors, the
records of production as against the batches are not necessary to be maintained for more than six
months, however these are maintained for a period of two years.

Ref: QSP- 8.2.3/01

Note: Since Technodent is a manufacturer of Acrylic teeth of standard designs and colours as per
its well established and recognized mould charts and shade guides, there is hardly anything
to be reviewed in the contract in this respect, however the contractual requirements needed
to be reviewed are: delivery dates, payment schedules and/or any change in the packing
instructions/ design of the packing other than the standard used by the Technodent
industries.
8.2.4 Changes to requirements for products and services

In case the customer desires to change any requirement after the order has been confirmed,

beginning of our company and we have never had any problems with quality or delivery. On
our request (for ISO 9000) certification purpose, they also us with the safety data sheet as
well as Quality/ chemical certificate of this product.
Item # 2 is being purchased from the local market where we don’t get any quality certificate
but we test it ourselves at our end practically. The test is that Acrylic Poly methyl liquid will
form a smooth paste for forming a cake only with Acrylic Mono methyl liquid otherwise it
will not.
For items at serial # 3&4, the suppliers are on our approved suppliers list and we have a
contractual agreement with them. We have approved samples signed by both parties, buyers
as well as the supplier. We just check the quantity on receipt, however the quality is verified
practically during actual use. Any articals not qualifying for use are returned back to the
supplier and not paid for these rejections.
Item #5 Since these externally made/ provided products are not to be incorporated
into our own products rather they are absolutely of different nature and use, we
have not put any sort of controls over the providers or their processes. We have got
prepared the dies for these parts and get as many pieces in whatever colour we require from
any known quality Injection molding factory. The provided products are inspected at our own
premises and any rejections are returned back to the provider and not paid for. The only
inspection criteria is the finish of these products because no other parameter such as colour
size etc are important. For this we have a signed contract with these two or three producers.
Since it’s a beginning, at a later stage when we have sufficient orders and sales volume, we
may go for our own Injection Molding section.
** There are no further controls required over these externally provided products as
they are disposable and by no means risky for their use.
