Hi all, have a few questions which i'm unsure about...

How do i conduct an audit?
What are the things to be included for an audit for, let's say, chapter 5(management responsibility)?
Do i need to come up with a checklist?

Any help will be greatly appreciated! or any references to any websites are fine too..

:thanx:

First of all : Welcome to the cove.
Those are very generic questions you are asking.

First of all do a search here in the cove files, there is a lot of great stuff to help you. And if you still have specific questions, just ask them here and you will be answered I'm sure.

Best regards,

Antoine

Welcome to the Cove. Have you read the standard yet? Do you understand what it says and the principles behind it? Do you know why audits are performed? If you have not attended some sort of ISO 9001 overview training, the best thing you can do is get yourself signed up. Then, attend a class on auditing. It does not have to be an "official" course for people who want to become ANAB certified auditors.

As for section 5 auditing....define the processes that make up the responsibilities of management. What are the inputs, the outputs, what controls the process. etc.

How to conduct an audit? Er.... That is a wide open question if I ever saw one. A question if I may? Is this a teoretical question, or are you actually goiing to perform an audit? Anyway, the very first thing to do would be to get the necessary training. Other than that, could you be more specific?

Chapter 5? We have discussed that many times here. a search for the concerned clause no's usually finds a hint or two. You need to be a bit more specific to get good answers, however.

A checklist? There is no requirement per se, but personally I wouldn't dream of auditing without one: Properly used, it is too good a tool to omit, imo.

References to websites? This one is top notch imo.

Oh, no worries about that, there always has to be a first time, right? :)

Um... Sorry, but I beg to differ. I strongly suggest proper training first.

Ah. Yes, I somehow got that idea into my head (which is why I asked if this was a theoretical question).;) As it happens, you are not the first student to ask this question. I think we can help you help yourself, instead of giving you straight answers. Try this old thread: ISO 9001:2000 (Management Commitment). You will find a few useful links there.

I also suggest a good long look in the ISO 19011 and ALL Auditing Discussions forum. Make good use of the search function. Then keep asking, and try to be as specific as you can.

Sorry to intrude late. However it raises another question on expectations of a teacher from students who are not fully eqipped! Is it a right assignment to give an auditing exercise; (and worst ever involving clause 5) on the part of a teacher?
