Hello, I realise this question has been posted before but I wanted to make sure the information is correct for AS9100 rev C.
Our company has just been asked to provide a headcount to our CB so that they can calculate man days required for transition to rev C and ongoing surveillance days.
I've been trying in vain to find the formula they use for calculating audit days especially as far as headcount goes. Really just for my satisfaction, I can't imagine challenging it but I would like to understand how they work it out.
To give you an idea of what our organisation is like:
1) There are just over 300 staff whose activities affect quality
2) We do design and design support activities. We don't do any manufacturing.
3) We use one QMS across all offices, there are no geographic variations apart from the QSE rep at each site.
4) We fully utilise collaborative software so we can access all documents from any office.
So I am wondering why our small offices (<20 people) regularly get up to 3 audit days when theoretically their activities could all be audited from Head office. We end up in the situation where the auditor spends most of the day just chatting to us or doing the write up, as he can see everything the office does within about an hour or so.
An explanation would help put my mind at rest and give me some details to pass to my senior management also.
Thanks!
