Internal Audits For Multiple Sites
We have 80 locations but only one is ISO 9001:2000 certified. However, every location follows the same quality system. Many customers are auditing the non-certified locations and writing nonconformances for not doing internal audits. At non-certified locations, is it possible to do partial audits or maybe audits at each location every few years? Also, if the documentation is being audited annually for the certified location, I don't think we should have to do an internal audit on the documentation every time we audit another location since the documentation is the same for every site (this is an online quality system with forms, SOPs, Quality Manual, etc.). Can I change the procedure to indicate only full audits are conducted at certified locations? Please advise...thanks!:ca:
