9001, 14001, 18001 and all those other documents don't tell you how to do anything either, they basically say "do this and figure it out for yourself as it suits your needs". Good grief!!
Look at this....
5 Managing an audit programme
5.1 General
An audit programme may include one or more audits, depending upon the size, nature and complexity of the
organization to be audited. These audits may have a variety of objectives and may also include joint or combined
audits (see Notes 3 and 4 to the definition of audit in 3.1).
An audit programme also includes all activities necessary for planning and organizing the types and number of
audits, and for providing resources to conduct them effectively and efficiently within the specified time frames.
An organization may establish more than one audit programme.
The organization’s top management should grant the authority for managing the audit programme.
Those assigned the responsibility for managing the audit programme should
a) establish, implement, monitor, review and improve the audit programme, and
b) identify the necessary resources and ensure they are provided.
19011 isn't telling me how to manage an audit program, but it is giving me guidance on the essential things that "should or may" be addressed in doing so. I figure out how to do it using the basic guidance provided.
Your wanting to be held by the hand through the whole process is indicitive of the problems encountered by more than a few when trying to use documents and methodologies similar to ISO standards in changing how we perform and in the management of the change process itself. Many, in fact most of those that I call Fuction Specific Professionals exist in a combined state of tunnel vision and near sightedness or myopia that I call "Tunopia". This state of "Tunopia" that FSP's exist in results in their doing buisness, communicating, and understanding as if they are in an inverted funnel looking towards the narrow end. I see it in you and I've seen it in here, and I see it on a continual basis in the course of my work. The only, the "ONLY" result of "Tunopic" thinking is to return ultimately to the cave and try to make fire all over again.
"Tunopic" thinking is a product of culture, education and the society in which one is required to function. It comes from the combined failure to expand ones understanding, horizons and standpoint of view.
Bottom line...knock down the walls, open you eyes and do something for yourself occassionally.
