I am looking for an estimate of the number of auditor days required per site in the following situations. Honestly, I think our certification body is trying to get more money out of us than need be, esp. since they are really upping their marketing (they look pretty desperate to keep revenue: phone calls and emails more than what we saw in the dotcom bubble bursting). It looks like the recession is hitting them in the pocket book. It looks like it is hitting most CBs hard, but that is no reason to mess with the clients you have just because you know that they do not have copies of your general guidance. If I know what that basic guidance is, I can dicker with them.
I have three different sites ISO 9001:2000 certified transitioning to ISO 9001:2008 with their 3 year recertification audit in the fall. The neither our internal auditors nor CB auditors are easy- so, our systems are pretty clean, not cupcake and mature.
Site One: certified since 2000: 54 employees, no outstanding nonconformances, no customer issues, no nonconformances from the CB in 6 visits, CB visits are 6 months.
Site Two: certified since 2001: 73 employees, no outstanding nonconformances, no customer issues, no nonconformances from the CB in 4 visits, CB visits are 6 months.
Site One: certified since 2003: 170 employees, no outstanding nonconformances, no customer issues, no nonconformances from the CB ever, CB visits are 6 months.
Other options would be appreciated...
