Hello,
We have seen the information on the IATF site stating that many findings are being raised against 10.2.3 Problem Solving.
I am wondering if this is partly due to the Sanctioned Interpretation given the need to consider 'preventative action'??
I work for a 'remote' site in Europe, we do a little bit of Design, but primarily Sales related activity and Core functions (IT, HR, Procurement)
- All the manufacturing is in the Far East.
- The Core functions are more 'implementers', they are not really involved in decisions, that is done in the HQ in the USA
We have never had any Major, Minor or even OFI raised against 10.2.3, and want to make sure this continues! So 3 related but separate questions:
1. What areas/examples would you look to see in Design
- I do have several ideas & have seen evidence of this being done well in past audits, but am intentionally not stating them here as I am hoping to learn new suggestions?
2. What areas/examples would you look to see in Core Functions (IT, HR and particularly Procurement)?
- I really am struggling to think of examples where there have been 'problems to solve' in past audits, so any ideas would be appreciated!
3. If there is no case found in the audit (sampling) where a problem solving technique should have been used, BUT as an auditor I do check the documentation (which is strong) and ask the interviewees then what more am I expected to do ... I am assuming nothing!
I am more interested in the opportunities for problem solving, not the techniques to use, the techniques I have lots of
Regards
Dari
