I'll tell you as a 3rd party auditor, and probably yours, so you better watch out! (Just kidding
)
1. Document control....all aspects of it
2. Competency......very seldom actually defined, documented or evidence of achievement. Lots of training done but that is normally where it stops.
3. Internal audit...more often than not these are not that great to horrible and very sledom move from the top branches of the system down to the roots and into the weeds.
4. Corrective actions......primarily done because it is a must with no real desire in it
5. Preventive actions....sorely misunderstood, underappreciated and horribly mis-applied. A process with so much potential for value thatyou just wanna cry at times.
6. Management committment.......quite possibly one of the greates sources of $%&##$****! there is.You'll know what I mean when you experience it.
7. Customer satisfaction......we see more dis-satisfaction measured than anything else.
That's pretty much it for me. I don't worry about the Product Realization stuff too much because it seems to kind of fall in to place for the most part. I do look at it pretty good, I just don't worry over it.
