Congratulation Aussie!!!
Can you please share your purchasing procedure. I am stuck with determination of criticality of the activities or product (5.6.1.1 a requirement) and I would like to know how did you respond to the above request.
Thank you in advance.

I currently have an outstanding AAR related to our purchasing procedure. Specifically how we carry out our initial evaluation for critical suppliers, so perhaps not such a good idea to share at the moment. But I should have it sorted by Monday or Tuesday. I'll post it when I've made the changes.
If your problem only relates to determination of criticality of the activities or product, then perhaps the following definitions, (which are included in our purchasing procedure) might help:
Critical Purchases - Purchases which are mandatory, indispensable or essential to fulfill customer requirements and directly affect the quality of the services/products.
Non-critical purchases - Purchases which are required to fulfill customer requirements, but do not affect the final quality of the services/product.
Basic Purchases - Purchases of miscellaneous indirect goods which bear no relevance to customer requirements.
Critical Tasks - Any task which is directly related to, or has the potential to impact on customer requirements.
Non-Critical Tasks - Any task which bears no relevance to any product or process for clients, either current or potential.
Please bear in mind, I'm relatively new to this Quality Management game, and my documents and what they contain may not be up to the standard of most others on here.
Regards
