Hello Big Jim
"conforms to planned arrangements" refers to 7.1 (planning of product realization), I think it does not relate to the audit planned schedule but product realization planning.
"to the requirements of this international standard" Did you meet the requirements in AS9100C? I agree
"to the quality management system requirements established by the organization" As you mention "any other of the organization´s documentation", I therefore think in organization specific processes not goverened by the standard. Should I think of having two types of audits? one for standard requirements and another one for organization specific processes.
Hi Mario,
The standard is basically saying to audit to determine conformance for
1) Planned arrangements – as you said, 7.1 activities. All those realization processes, are they working as they should and are you doing what the customer wants. (Remember the note that was added in Rev C.)
2) AS9100 reqt’s – are you meeting the intent of the standard.
3) QMS – are you meeting the intent of requirements that your organization has identified that are not included above. Your company may have directives or processes that they have identified as important that are not necessarily mandated by the above 2 requirements.
So basically, you audit your organization and ensure that things are working as they were intended to work. We have used only one type of audit for our internal audits. We have other types of audits like a layered audit that are not meant to meet the intent of an internal audit. Using a process approach to auditing should have you auditing everything you need to, to meet the requirements with no need of an additional type of audit.
I wrote this rather hastily as I was leaving so if I incorrectly worded something I apologize in advance.
