Thanks everyone for your comments!

I tried to argue my point with our CEO regarding clause 6.2.1 by stating that although he is not directly involved with physically manufacturing the product, he does make strategic business and leadership decisions which in turn have an impact on the quality of our product.

Our CEO does not believe that clause 6.2.2a can or should be interpreted as necessarily applying to the CEO because he CEO's of many corporations have no technical background in the business they manage - only managerial experience that ensures that the right people are hired and trained to achieve production standards.

Although part of me understands his point of view, I still believe that we should be determing competency requirements for the CEO in some fashion per clause 6.2.2 a.

I don't think i'm going to win this battle. Feeling frustated. LOL

More CEO duties to consider:

  1. Explaining and living by the mission and the quality policy
  2. Creating and maintaining a work environment that is conducive to quality
  3. Ensuring all employees are treated with respect at all times
  4. Demonstrating commitment to:
  • Customers and employees and their requirements
  • The organizational management system and its objectives
  • Performance of the processes and their system (organization)
  • Problem solving to prevent problems and stop recurrence of problems
  • Improvement of services, products, processes and management system
