Hello,
I just went through my first AS9100 audit. This is my first year in the quality management position. Through the audit I learned that our quality manual needs some major cleaning up.
My question is this: During a previous audit one of our nonconformances was no FOD procedure at all. As a corrective action, a procedure was written by a previous QM. I am reviewing the procedure now and trying to clean up some unnecessary language that paints us into a corner. The current procedure states that we measure the effectiveness of the FOD procedure via semiannual FOD audit.
I have referenced paragraph 7.5.5 of the standard and see where it states that "prevention, detection and removal of foreign objects" is required. I do not see, however, where it states that measurability is. I'd like to remove this portion of our procedure. Can anyone point me to where the standard states, if it does, that we need to be evaluating the procedure? (Beyond corrective actions initiated in the case of FOD findings.)
