8.2.2.4 Audit Plans - Can anyone share an example of their Internal Audit Plan?

[jawatts - 2009]

Can anyone share an example of their Internal Audit Plan? Combining system, process, and product audits into one plan is becoming a hard sell for me to the GM.

What, specifically, is GM asking for or having a problem with?

I think there are some audit plan examples here - Have you browsed the attachments listing?

Good question, Marc. I, too, was wondering what was so difficult about the sell...except for resources. I know that sometimes the resource requirements for a complete system (like it sounds like may be done here) can be draining as people are pulled away from their normal duties for an extended period of time.

Jawatts, if you scroll down to the bottom of this thread (past the list of people reading it), you'll find links given to some possibly helpful threads.

With regards to the audit plan, you simply need to use some common sense. Know the processes at your location and their interaction. Then you need to know how the clauses relate to these processes. And you can start to set up your audit. Knowing about the core documentation will help, too.

TS audit cover all shift work

Hope that anyone of the expect could help me on this:

If I have a group of shift workers, i.e., A, B, C, D rotating at work for 12 hourly basis for 24 hour non-stop manufacturing activities.

For instance,
1st day - 4th day of the first week - A - morning, B - night, C - rest, D - rest
5th day - 7th day of the first week - C - morning, D - night, A - rest, B - rest
and continue

Am I suppose to audit all the groups of the rotating shift covering until the end of the week OR I just cover 24 hour shift work regardless of the group they are working??

Please advise.

thanks in advance

It sounds like you are trying to audit your staff rather than the process? Your audit plan should cover EACH of your processes/sub-processes, as well as certain aspects of the standard. However, if the results from one shift vary greatly from another shift, then I would consider auditing the shift with the poorest results to figure out why there is a variance in results.

HI YanInQz,

Thanks for your input. My understanding is the same as you.

I'm trying to plan an audit based on process approach which is meeting the TS requirement of shift audit and focusing on the process variance.

However, I was told by my in house internal auditor as I'm still new to this co., our CB asked our team to audit all the group of the operators and all shift in 24 hours rotating basis. I personally feel it's overkilling.

Any idea?

Please advise

I wasn't referring to a specific attachment. I was asking if you had browsed the post attachments.

Audit Plans

I don't have a combined audit plan.
I have separate plans for system, product, processaudits.

I have attached one example of systemaudit planning.
I'm sorry it's in Dutch - but you will see what is meant because it is a planning of all system audits for each of the identified processes in the company.


Best regards,

Antoine
