We are developing internal Audit plan for nov'16 to Jan'17. (due for re-certification and transition to ISO 9001:2015 by April'17). This will be our first Internal Audit pertaining to ISO 9001:2015.
I have few queries related to how Internal Audit schedule and clauses to be covered from ISO requirements perspective.
Is this termed as QMS system Audit? Is this requirement for Internal Audit ?
As per my understanding, training - Cls 4, 5 , 6,7 are system classes applicable to all processes, non-conformance to these elements can be only termed as Major Non-conformance -- meaning it is systematic failure seen across processes during an audit.
So I believe it becomes logical to have a method of doing an Audit plan - to see conformity to applicable clauses and relate it to the base clause.
The challenge is how to do this? How to identify and determine linkages under Cl no.s 8 to other system elements in ISO 9001:2015 while we do an audit of each department.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I have few queries related to how Internal Audit schedule and clauses to be covered from ISO requirements perspective.
1. Is it required to cover all elements of ISO 9001 before certification audit ?
2. Or it can be distributed (as per the importance and risk) as we followed for last 2 years
3. Can I follow a mixed approach of Process Audit and Conformity Audit? Example: For Purchase process - Conformity Audit
Marketing - Process Audit
* Is it mandatory to show process Audit against new version - ISO 9001:2015.
4. I understand that most of the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 is under Cl. 8 Operations and can be related to the main subclause.
In this case, what is the best way of link clauses while we do a process audit for customer oriented process ? Can you suggest any book or guidance on this perspective? Somewhat Like Sub-clause -- Base clause in PDCA cycle.Is this termed as QMS system Audit? Is this requirement for Internal Audit ?
