Clause 6

Hi! in preparation for STAGE 1 for next month, our external auditor asked us for some documentation. When he inquired about how we are going to demonstrate compliance with Clause 6, I responded that we did the risk analysis and it was elaborated a FMEA chart for each department process. He said that is not sufficient.. why not? if the FMEA charts contains mitigation planning activities in a specific column about how we are addressing risks and which resources will be utilized. Also the implementation of the PDCA cycle was responded. Please give us your advice .

Thank you

Answer:

FEMA alone is often not sufficient in terms that it only covers risks and not opportunities and it focuses on the risks within the processes and not on other element of the context. The standard requires organization to address risks and opportunities emerging from the entire context of the organization and not only processes.

On the other hand, the standard does not require any methodology to be used or document to be created, so the auditor cannot raise non conformity, he can only raise observation and that is not obligatory for the company. The organization alone can decide what level of risks assessment is appropriate for its QMS.
