Having been unemployed (other than contract jobs here & there) for the past 20 months, I was wondering about the current interpretation and/or relationship between 8.3, 8.5.2, and 8.5.3. Being raised on MIL-C-1520 (If memory serves me correctly) the old military standard for Corrective Action System, I always tried identifying root cause to nonconforming product so corrective action to eliminate the cause was performed on each nonconformance. That is the way I wrote systems to ISO-9000:1994.
Is this the requirement for ISO-9001:2000? I only have an unofficial copy of the standard and have not been through a 2000 registration audit yet. The way I read the unofficial copy, I could address the corrective/preventive actions for nonconforming product on a 80/20 Rule basis, instead of 100% basis. Would that be acceptable to the current standard?
Your help is Greatly Appreciated!
