1 - Few n/c's if any found during 3rd party audit. No majors 2 - n/c's have some depth to them....not just a few document control or missing log entries... 3 - The dept audited doesn't feel nitpicked 4 - Summary of n/c's easy to generate...organized 5 - No n/c's to element 4.17 during 3rd party audit. 6 - I/A identifies areas for continuous improvement 7 - Auddit schedule is adhered to...with some variation, but not always being postponed. Off the top of my head. Suppose there are a few more. IP: Logged |

re: what if there are lots of n/cs but that none are major but just lots of paperworks created 'junks' That's a tough one. Hopefully the 3rd party auditor isn't nit-picking as well. Overtime those should minimize. (If they are paperwork "junks" do you need the paperwork?) You bring up a good point I missed this AM (need more caffeine!) Internal audits should be able to indicate to management the effectiveness of the system as a portion of the management review. We tracked N/C's by department as well as element and procedure. We also looked at corrective actions for possible implementation in other departments. We looked for reduced N/C's overtime...if the Quality System, of which IA's are a part of are effective, then overtime there should be less IA n/c's. IP: Logged |
