In short,he added some value to the audit where our experienced people does not agree on that.. Reason you know very well.. Resistance.. How come a 30 can advise or audit 60 ?
Everyone in the top is having an image of auditor is of age atleast above 45 and must have good industrial experience. say for example.. To audit a QMS hospital a senior doctor should come.. To audit a mechanical industry, an auditor with mechanical engineering experience is must..
After the audit, my management called me not to invite such type of auditors . Reasons is as follows. We should maintain the image when we are auditing the senior persons..
My opinion is : ISO is a management standard. The auditor should have auditing experience ,aware of ISO clauses,good attributes,a good knowledge of the business process to be audited.. these are more than enough to audit the QMS, No need of QC - Mechanical Engineer with Lead Auditor Experience shall do the audit of mechanical works..
I need your comments..


. Fortunately we are now having a generation shift with a number of people retiering and new truly young people entering the fray every year... About time too: That young image of mine will not hold up for closer scrutiny much longer.
