Can you please advice us, in general, how many documents or information we need on hand to show it to the audit firm? Also, how does organization's scope works with products and services along with international standard?”
Main changes in documentation

Planning changes to the QMS

Organizational knowledge and processes or individuals
"Do we have to fill up self-designed format on OK 7.1.6 for individual or for process like Production, Eng., R & D, Marketing, SCM etc etc.”
