A final-year student who needs help conducting an external audit using ISO 9001:2015

[Knifenat]

Hello, I just discovered this forum, and I need help with different examples of past audits of companies using ISO 9001:2015 so it can guide me on my project. Thanks; I really need the help.

What kind of audit are you conducting? 2nd party? 3rd party?

Alone or as part of a team?

Have you had any auditor training?

Are you auditing against the entire standard or just a certain section or sections?

 

[Bev D]

What is the goal of the project? What research are you conducting? What are you hoping to learn?

Basically we need more details.

I can provide general weak spots and findings from my experience:

CAPA used too infrequently or incorrectly, root cause is not identified
Complaints - lack of analysis
Setting Acceptable Objectives - Too vague or not meaningful
Management Review Scope

That material is most likely confidential and out of your reach through legitimate channels. Also no 2 audits are the same just as no 2 samples are the same.

As was asked, your project for what?

What Randy said. I am forbidden by both my CB and my certification agency to share such reports and would not do so even if I was allowed; the information could be sensitive, whether I know that for sure or not. In fact, 3rd party auditors are very often required to sign non-disclosure agreements (I know I was).

It is a third-party audit
I am doing it alone as my university final year project
I have not had any audit training
The essence of my study is to evaluate the quality of services or products of an organization based on the ISO 9001:2015 standard

I'm really sorry for the late reply. I was off for a while, and thanks for the response.

The essence of my study is to evaluate the quality of services or products of an organization based on the ISO 9001:2015 standard, and I hope to learn measures that determine the conformity of an organization's QMS to the ISO 9001:2015 standard.
