Do people working in departments excluded from scope have to be trained for QMS?
I have a question regarding how to decide if a person needs to be trained in various parts of a QMS set up for 13485:2016 compliance. People processing medical device have to be trained. But what about a person for example in marketing, who has nothing to do with any part of the work affecting product quality. Do people working in departments excluded from the scope of the QMS (for example finance, legal, marketing) have to be trained in various procedures contained in the quality manual?

Method for recording inspection activities
We are looking at ways to reduce workload. One topic brought up was the recording of dimensional measurement. Some of the senior employees have mentioned that at previous companies they've worked at, they did not record dimensions at Incoming Inspection. Rather, after the completion of dimensional activities, a checkbox was checked that said something like "All dimensions were found to be within tolerance". This was sufficient for the auditors at those companies. -
