Scenario 6: Davis Clinic (DC) is an American medical center focused on integrated health care. Since its establishment DC was committed to providing qualitative services for its clients, which is the reason why the company decided to implement a quality management system (QMS) based on ISO 9001. After a year of having an active QMS in place, DC applied for a certification audit.

A team of five auditors, from a well-known certification body, was selected to conduct the audit. Eva was appointed as the audit team leader. After three days of auditing, the team gathered to review and examine their findings. They also discussed the audit findings with DC's top management and then drafted the audit conclusions.

In the closing meeting, which was held between the audit team and the top management of DC. Eva presented two nonconformities that were detected during the audit. Eva stated that the company did not retain documented information regarding its outsourced services for an analysis laboratory and regarding the conducted management reviews. During the closing meeting, the audit team required from DCs top management to come up with corrective action plans within two weeks. Although the top management did not agree with the audit findings, the audit team insisted that the auditee must submit corrective actions within the given time frame in order for the audit activities to continue.

Once the action plans were evaluated, the audit team began preparing the audit report. Eva required from the team to provide accurate descriptions of the audit findings and the audit conclusions. The report was then distributed to all the interested parties involved in the audit, including the certification body Based on the report, the certification body together with Eva, as the audit team leader, made the certification decision.

Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:

Scenario 6 indicates that although the top management did not agree with the audit findings, the audit team began preparing the audit report. Is this acceptable?

Options:

No, the audit report should have been prepared before the audit findings were presented in the closing meeting

No, during the closing meeting, the audit team had to inform the auditee about the complaint and appeal handling process

Yes, the audit team had to begin preparing the audit report although the top management did not agree with the audit findings

Questions 64

Noitol is an organisation specialising in the design and production of e-learning training materials for the insurance market. During an ISO 9001 audit of the development department, the auditor asks the Head of Development about the process used for validation of the final course design. She states that they usually ask customers to validate the product with volunteers. She says that the feedback received often leads to key improvements.

The auditor samples the design records for a recently completed course for the 247 Insurance organisation. Design verification was carried out but there was no validation report. The Head of Development advises that this customer required the product on an urgent basis, so the validation stage was omitted. When asked, the Head estimates that this occurs about 50% of the time. She confirms that they always ask for feedback and often make changes. There is no record of feedback in the design file for the course.

The auditor decides to review the training course design process in more depth.

Select three options that provide a meaningful audit trail for this process.

Options:

How are students advised about prior learning requirements?

How is customer feedback integrated into the course?

How is the cost of the course calculated?

What risks and opportunities have been notified to interested parties?

How is design documentation controlled and managed?

How is technical content of courses verified as correct?

How is the tutor trained to deliver the completed course?

Answer:

B, E, F

Explanation:

According to clause 8.3 of ISO 9001:2015, the organization should establish, implement, and maintain a design and development process that is appropriate to ensure the subsequent provision of products and services. The design and development process should include the following activities:

•Determining the requirements for the products and services to be designed and developed, considering the intended use, the statutory and regulatory requirements, the customer and other relevant interested parties’ needs and expectations, and the potential risks and opportunities.

•Defining the design and development objectives, stages, responsibilities, and authorities, and ensuring the availability of adequate resources and competence.

•Implementing design and development controls, such as reviews, verification, and validation, to ensure that the design and development outputs meet the design and development inputs, and to identify and resolve any problems or errors.

•Maintaining documented information on the design and development inputs, outputs, reviews, verification, validation, and changes, and ensuring the traceability and conformity of the products and services to the requirements.

•Managing the design and development changes, by identifying, reviewing, and controlling them, and evaluating their effects on the products and services and the QMS.

In this case, the evidence statements that provide a meaningful audit trail for the design and development process are B, E, and F, because they relate to the design and development controls, the documented information, and the verification activities that are required by the standard. These options can help the auditor to assess the effectiveness and conformity of the design and development process, and to identify any nonconformities or opportunities for improvement. The other options are not directly related to clause 8.3, although they may be relevant for other aspects of the QMS, such as clause 7.2 on competence, clause 7.3 on awareness, clause 7.4 on communication, clause 8.2 on requirements for products and services, clause 8.4 on externally provided processes, products, and services, and clause 8.7 on control of nonconforming outputs.

Questions 65

The procedures of an organisation require that all purchase orders have to be signed by the Purchasing Manager, or, in her absence, by the Production Manager. During an audit carried out in November 2020, an auditor determined that during three weeks in February 2020, the purchase orders were not signed. You raise a nonconformance under Clause 8.4.3 of ISO 9001:2015.

Which one of the following answers would you accept as a 'correction' from the Purchasing Manager?

Options:

All products related to those purchase orders have already been successfully used during the first quarter of 2020, therefore there is no need for correction. We will only take corrective action.

During those weeks, as I was on holiday, the production manager should have signed those purchase orders. As a correction to this particular nonconformity, I will ask him to sign them.

I do not accept the nonconformity. Anything I may ask my employees to do will be seen as another piece of evidence that complying with ISO 9001 requirements is a bureaucratic valueless burden.

I will sign all the purchase orders now. It will take some time to print them since they are on a backup disk, but I will get them done before the end of the audit.
