I don't know if this is the correct area t post these questions or not, but we recently went through a pre audit and I had some issues that i need help with, and since I did not get to speak to the auditor before he left I could not ask him what some of these actually mean. I am new to all of this so if I sound ignorant or dumb please forgive me.
1. No evidence that our gagetracking software is certified to meet with QS9000 3rd edition. I have called the software vendor and they aren't sure what is needed.
2. No evidence that "Master" blocks (grade 3 ) are adequate to calibrate our measuring equipment. Now, we don't manufacture rockets so we don't have a very tight tolerance on our parts
( most parts we have .030" - .120"). So wouldn't a grade three that is used only for checking and calibrating our equipment be adequate?
3. Calibration procedures do not meet with "international" practices. What are international practices?
4. Develop a "drop off" policy and place visual aids at the working stations. What is a drop off policy?
I hope these questions don't sound silly, but if any one has been through this and knows what I am talking about, I could sure use the help.
