Re: Need an opinion on Permissible Exclusions.
OK....
a) Without posting any names, what "ISO consulting company" has the most clients. (My guess is that it's based in Michigan.) Hmmm...
b) My opinion regarding the use of the standard and 9004 itself as a "guide" to certification is based upon:
1)experience. I've reviewed over 1,000 RFQ's; it was not uncommon to see the applicant apply for exclusion of 7.5 because, "we don't provide service." (Actual quote. One of these RFQ requests for exclusion of 7.5 was made with the approval of a "consultant!" So their QMS was in idle, awaiting a cert assessment!)
2)demographics. Manufacturing accounts for a small piece of the American economy. Drop off a copy at your local IT or realty company, come back in a couple of days, and ask them their viewpoint.
Regarding your comment as to accuracy and passion. I once met a bond fund manager and asked him why he was successful. He responded, "What truly makes Michael Jordan great? It's his passion for the game. You gotta have a passion for what you do."
So, your opinion regarding the competency of consultants is based upon what data? Gees, RABQSA is questioning the compentency of the auditors it certified!
