  • Determining causes in internal audits

    "We are a multi-site organisation with ISO 9001 systems and a team of internal quality auditors. The internal auditors obviously check implementation against the system and raise NCRs where there are shortfalls. This is done using a Corrective Action Request (CAR) and the form specifies what requirement hasn’t been complied with. The auditee is then asked to identify the root cause and corrective actions. We have had a comment that the internal auditor should identify the root cause / corrective action. I struggle with this because the detail of why it wasn't complied with is only truly understood by the auditee. Q. Is it correct to place the responsibility onto the manager to find root cause etc OR should it be done by the internal auditor do this OR both?”
  • Form identification

    "Can we use a dynamic form for testing record that may have slightly different information for each product family but is basically the same. Do we need to change the rev or have different forms? Seems to many forms would be bad as would one form that does not have all the information. Having the basic "frame" be controlled but the specific information fluid makes more sense.”
