Along these same lines, kind of, the current discussion with our quality team is training files. I was advised by an auditor at a training class on AS9100 auditing that customarily in a training file there is a job description with whatever requirements are necessary for an individual to have the job, in correlation with this document there is a copy of those requirements. (e.g. if the requirements say an engineering degree is required then a copy of the persons diploma is inserted.) Is this something that a lot of companies do or was this person telling me something that really I don't need to do. Is it a good idea to do this or a waste of time? Granted, I know this won't cover the training portion of the standard but more the "records of education" portion? Someone PLEASE help! Thanks!
The requirements of cl 6.2 can be summarized pretty easily into three steps:
1. Identify the necessary skills to be competent or proficient for each position.
2. Ensure that those skills are achieved by way of training, education, experience, reading, etc.
3. Maintain records that these skills have been reviewed and that competency was determined for these skills. Records must be kept.
How you meet these three requirements is left to you to set up.
