Scoring Scale for Internal Audits - Please help finding the right terms

[Kira_n]

Hi,

I am currently setting up a scoring scale for audits. I am stuck with finding the right terms for the degree of meeting requirements.

This is what I have:


(degree of fulfilment - term)

• 90-100 % - Requirements fully met
• 80-90 % - Requirements met resonably well
• 60-80 % -
• below 60 % -

What terms would you use for

• 60-80 %
• below 60 %

?

Regards,
Kira_n

Below 60%, system require's improvement, possible non-compliance?.........

Agreed, because everything is so subjective.

How about 60 to 80 %?

Hi Kira,
thi is my thought:
Between 60-80, need corrective plans
Below 60- not acceptable, QMS jeopardized

I would agree. It depends on how you are basing the scoring system - if the degree of fulfilment is how the current process performs in relation to the ISO standard, then anything below 100% should warrent a corrective action plan to regain compliance.

If the degree of fulfilment is in relation to how the procedure matches the process being performed or vice versa, then the desciptions mentioned above may be suitable; but again, if your procedure only fulfils between 80-90% of the process then corrective action is still required to capture the other 10-20%!

If your scoring is based on VDA 6.3, I would follow their guidelines.

80-90% - Improvement needed
Below 80% - unsatisfactory / Major improvement needed

Thanks, VDA 6.3 is a very good idea. What are the other terms in VDA 6.3? Maybe I will change them all to this terminology.

If this is for an internal audit, and I guess it is, since you've posted in that forum, don't try to score internal audits. It will probably give your management the wrong idea and turn the whole thing into a numbers game.

This has been discussed before here and that's the consensus with many experienced auditors/ audit managers.

Where I worked we have had internal auditing scales for years. Nobody ever complained about it. I think it depends on the auditors behaviour and additional comments how the scores are taken .
