ISO 9001 Pregunta

Debe primeramente identificar los riesgos y luego evaluar su importancia para saber si deben tomarse acciones o no para mitigar dichos riesgos. La norma no especifica ninguna metodología para llevar a cabo tal evaluación, luego corresponde a la organización decidir cómo hacerlo. Puede emplear un método cuantitativo basado en determinados criterios para evaluar el riesgo, por ejemplo, la probabilidad de ocurrencia y el impacto del riesgo en la empresa, pudiendo entonces clasificar los riegos en bajo/medio/alto nivel de importancia o significancia.

ISO 9001 Pregunta

La frecuencia para la evaluación de los proveedores debe ser determinada por las necesidades de la organización, ya que la norma no establece ningún método específco. 

La norma ISO 9001:2015 requiere que evaluemos a los proveedores que inciden directamente en la calidad de nuestro producto o servicio. Por ello es crucial llevar a cabo una evaluación inicial para que pueda entrar a formar parte de nuestra lista de proveedores aceptados, y posteriormente llevar a cabo un seguimiento que incluye una reevaluación de los mismos. Las evidencias relacionadas con la re-evaluación o seguimiento de nuestros proveedores puede incluir información documentada del análisis de no conformidades, incidencias, cumplimiento de proveedores, relacionados con las actividades de los proveedores.

Respecto a los criterios, de nuevo es algo que debe ser decidido por la organización, y son una serie de elementos necesarios para poder evaluar los proveedores, como por ejemplo los relacionados con los costes, el cumplimiento con una norma, la calidad y el plazo de entrega, estabilidad financiera, etc. Una vez tenemos los criterios podemos evaluar los proveedores y clasificarlos, por ejemplo utilizando una puntuación segun cumplan con los criterios seleccionados.

Do I need iso 13485 for prosthetic liner manufacturing?

Yes, the prosthetic liner is a medical device so you need to have implemented ISO 13485:2016. Also, since the prosthetic liner is custom made device, then you need to prepare all necessary documentation as stated in the Medical device regulation MDR 2017/745, in:

• EU MDR Annex 13 – Procedure for custom made devices https://advisera.com/13485academy/mdr/procedure-for-custom-made-devices/ and

• ISO 9001 Question

  After reading your description I made the following drawings. First:

  

  And second:

  

  1. How to apply requirements of subject clauses 8.5 & 8.6 of ISO 9001:2015 in our above-mentioned activities? 

  Answer:

  Your organization provides different kinds of services and each time a ship is serviced a different combination of services and parts may be required. So, I’m thinking about designing how each individually service should be performed with what kind of procedures, records and controls, as a kind of library of services.

  Each provision of service in a particular ship in a particular request will be a combination of one or more services. You only add the monitoring and control of the set of services in place. After a request for intervention your organization designs and develops a project for that particular request. If you look into each service in your library, you can draw a flowchart from start to end and you can apply clause 8.5. In that flowchart you can identify all places where there are risks of something being wrong and design a quality control plan (clause 8.6)

  2. How to develop a process flow chart for above activities? 

  Answer:

  If you try to develop a process flowchart for all activities at the same time it will become a big mess and it will not be useful. A model it is not about describing reality as it is, a model is about describing reality in a useful way. So, that is why I recommend developing a process flow chart for each service and then, develop a project flow chart about how the whole intervention will be managed and controlled.

  3. Is it necessary that all OEMs & Equipment Servicing companies ?  
  Repairers to be evaluated for their performance as per Clause 8.4 of ISO 9001:2015 which normally is extremely difficult in our case ? 

  Answer:

  It is up to each organization to determine what kind of qualification is required for its suppliers. For example, an organization may decide no qualification for a supplier of standard parts but may require more for a supplier of made to order customized parts. About evaluation of performance your organization may decide which suppliers are critical and only evaluate those suppliers.

• ISO 9001 Question

  QA agreement is also valid for services suppliers?

  Answer:

  Of course, it is, as long as both parties understand it, and reach an agreement about service level

  How can we efficiently and clearly accept all of the above-requested information in QAA? According to ISO 9001 2015, which sections?

  Answer:

  Before an agreement is reached there is a negotiation. Each party comes to negotiation with a proposal. Imagine that your organization will be responsible for doing those 7 points. What kind of competency requirements, procedures, records and control you would implement? That can be your starting point for the negotiation. About ISO 9001:2015, for starters consider clause 8.4.1 c) and 8.4.3, your organization is buying processes, what in previous versions of the standard was known as subcontracting or outsourcing. For other clauses I see things like these:

  – 8.4, 8.6 and 8.7
  – 8.2.1, 8.5.5 and 8.7
  – 8.5.1 h)
  – 8.2.1, 8.5.5 and 8.7
  – 8.5.6
  – 8.5.1 f) h)
  – 8.5.2

  Can we audit the supplier processes according to VDA 6.3?

  Answer:

  Again, that should be included in the QAA. Please check ISO 9001:2015 clause 8.4.3 f)

• ISO 9001 Identifying and Assessing Risk and Opportunity

  First, although useful, it is not mandatory to use a risk and opportunity matrix/criteria to evaluate risks and opportunities.

  I recommend using a very simple matrix for any level:

  

  Where L stands for Low, M for Medium and H for High. Severity is more for risks, for opportunities you may use Advantage.

  After using this approach for some time you can refine the matrix and include more factors if considered relevant.

  The following material will provide you more information about risks and opportunities:

• ISO 14001 minimum requirement

  There is no minimum requirement. The whole standard is applicable. However, the application is not blind, the application will be a function of how your consulting business interacts with the environment with aspects and impacts. A small consulting business will have a small interaction with the environment.

• Implementation of ISMS

  1 - How and where to start in project for ISMS implementation.

  Roughly speaking, ISO 27001 implementation steps can be resumed in:

  1. getting management buy-in for the project;
  2. defining ISMS basic framework (e.g., scope, objectives, organizational structure), by understanding organizational context and requirements of interested parties;
  3. development of risk assessment and treatment methodology;
  4. perform a risk assessment and define the risk treatment plan;
  5. controls implementation (e.g., policies and procedures documentation, acquisitions, etc.);
  6. people training and awareness;
  7. controls operation;
  8. performance monitoring and measurement;
  9. perform internal audit;
  10. perform management critical review; and
  11. address nonconformities, corrective actions, and opportunities for improvement.
