HI,
I am doing an internal audit of procurement and I have a question on 8.3.4.k, the need to implement a quality management system.
Our company requires external providers to implement a quality management system. However, once the supplier submits their certificate, it goes into their supplier file and no one follows up to ensure that the supplier's certification is maintained.
I would like to write it up as a nonconformity but I am unsure of which clause it should be written against. Is there a clause? Or do I just write it up as an opportunity for improvement (which will fall into the black hole of OFIs) to review supplier files and reach out to those for new certificates when the old expire?
The push back I will get will be that we have 100s of suppliers but not the resources to chase down expired certificates.
Thanks for all your help!
