I posted this on another thread, because I really believe the TC 176 missed the boat (again). Since the 1994 Edition of ISO 9001 when an emphasis was added to the preventive action aspect of ISO 9001, countless discussions have ensued on corrective vs. preventive actions. Here, at the Cove, we have had prolonged discussions on the subject.
I like to poll the Cove membership to see if you agree that a re-wording of clause 8.5.3 should have been part of the ISO 9001:2008 amendment, which was supposed to clarify the existing requirements of the 3rd Edition of 9001. It is too late now for the TC 176 to do anything about this aspect of the Standard for next year's release (unless we see a miracle). But is it just me or do you agree that 8.5.3, the way is presently written, is very confusing and ambiguous?
Cast your vote, please.
