This is a summary of the problems our auditor found, all legitimate but not serious enough to warrant panic.
CAR # Description
R1 Design plan needs to show milestones for design review meetings. 4.4.6
R2 Must show evidence that our vendors have reviewed government regulations and safety concerns.4.6.1.2
R3 Approved vendor list must include outside calibration sources 4.6.2.c
R4 Vendor surveys do not fully address development of the vendor to QS 9000 TE 4.6.2.1
R5 No evidence of procedures for handling and protecting of calibration equipment 4.10.6.3
R6 Records section of procedure does not address how we eventually dispose of the records 4.16.1
Note: All CARs are against QS 9000 TE standards.
I hope to do corrective action, procedure modification and training within a few days.
