    Yes, the Quality Management System Internal Audit Checklist in Advisera's link covers both of the ISO 9001: 2015 and IATF 16949: 2016 standards.

  • ISO 14001 and COVID-19 emergency

    COVID-19 in itself has nothing to do with ISO 14001. COVID-19 affects humans not the environment. What can happen is that due to COVID-19 new kinds of wastes can appear, and new waste segregation rules may be applied.

    For example:

    • Are there any recommendations or changes about rules for disposing existing wastes?
    • How to treat new wastes like used masks and gloves?
    • Use of disposable cups and other single use materials?

    In any of these situations one may have to determine:

    • New environmental aspects and impacts;
    • New or revised procedures for sorting and identifying wastes;
    • New waste operators for contaminated wastes.

    Even if your organization does not provide documented procedures it must provide training in the new practices.

  • Remote auditing criteria

    For the moment we don’t have a video.

    Please consider this, ISO 19011:2018 mentions the possibility of using remote audits and virtual audits. There is an important remark: Performing remote audits can depend on the kind of risk to achieving the audit objectives, the level of confidence between auditor and auditee’s personnel and any regulatory requirements. Please check ISO 19011:2018 Annex A.1 Applying audit methods. See also Annex A.15 Visiting the auditee’s location and Annex A.16 Auditing virtual activities and locations.

    Deciding when and how to use remote auditing techniques depends on the audit objectives, scope and criteria, the available technology, the competency of the auditee and auditor to use the technology, and the type of audit evidence that needs to be gathered. The key question is whether the remote auditing techniques allow you to meet your audit objectives while benefitting from the audit process, or whether the use of remote auditing techniques could be a disadvantage to your audit.

    Some remote audit activities are:

    • ensuring remote access protocols and devices, software, etc.;
    • asking for permission in advance for any screenshots and consider confidentiality and security matters and avoid recording individuals without their permission;
    • using floor plans/diagrams of the remote location for reference;
    • maintaining respect for privacy during audit breaks.

    I invite you to read this article later – What are the benefits and barriers when performing remote audits? - https://advisera.com/articles/what-are-benefits-and-barriers-when-performing-remote-audits/

  • ISO 9001 certification cost

    The cost of certification will depend primarily on the number of employees you’ve got and the number of locations you covered with the quality management system scope. Then, organizations have plenty of alternatives to choose a certification body. Different certification bodies have different prices.

    You can find more information about ISO 9001 below:

  • Clause 8.4. non-conformity

    You must understand that I’m just reading a nonconformity statement, I’m not aware of any more information that could be useful to give an answer. So, just based on the statement, my interpretation is: Let us consider this article - List of mandatory documents required by ISO 9001:2015 - https://advisera.com/9001academy/knowledgebase/list-of-mandatory-documents-required-by-iso-90012015/ . You can verify that one of the mandatory documents is “Criteria for evaluation and selection of suppliers (clause 8.4.1)”. I believe the auditor was expecting to see a document stating the exact criteria to be applied

  • AS9100 meaning

    The AS in AS9100 is simply short for “Aerospace standard”. This is written on the front page of the standard next to the logo for SAE international, who maintains the standard. It sounds like it should be more complicated, but it is not.

    If you need to learn more about the requirements of AS9100 Rev D, see our free whitepaper: Clause-by-clause explanation of AS9100 Rev D, https://info.advisera.com/9100academy/free-download/clause-by-clause-explanation-of-as9100-rev-d

  • ISO 27001 exam

    1. Is there a significance in selecting the right body for certification. For eg. should i select Exemplerar/PECB/BSI compared to IGC (As IGC is perhaps not that well known) and does it have an impact on the CV.

    For the selection of the accredited provider that will endorse your certification, you will need to consider the market or industry you are going to work into, to see which provider is most recognized on it (this will provide a greater differential in your CV). Considering ISO 27001 personal certification, the most recognized accreditation bodies for training providers are IRCA, PECB, and Exemplar Global (formerly RABQSA).

    2. Can you please point me to the right exam provider that does not need me to complete the exam compulsorily and advice what is perhaps the best one (both from a cost and recognition standpoint)

    I think you are referring to complete the training.

    Considering that, please note that attending the training is mandatory for taking the exam. This happens because some aspects of attitude and behavior required from an auditor are evaluated during the course, not in the exam. So, in fact, part of the exam is performed during the course.

    What happens with our course is that you can enroll in it for free, but you cannot take the exam. In case you pay the fee to take the exam, and already have attended the course, you do not need to attend it again.

  • ISO 14001 disadvantages

    Let us consider two situations: 1. Implementing an environmental management system (EMS) and then; 2. Certifying that EMS.
    These disadvantages are not universal, some organizations will suffer more or less from them. They are like an investment, what you pay in order to get a return, the benefits.

    Implementing an EMS

    • Work burden – acting proactively to improve the relationship with the environment will add more work than necessary for just complying with conformance obligations;
    • Extra cost – The extra work means extra cost;
    • Personal resistance – Some people may consider it is a waste of resources and offer resistance during implementation and maintenance phases;

    Certifying an EMS

    • More transparency normally means more cost

  • Contract review requirements

    You still need to carry out a contract review. Your acceptance of the order is an evidence of that.

    The customer may be ordering:

    • a wrong reference;
    • with an unacceptable delivery address (like a P.O. box);
    • with a discount coupon, or a discount code that must be checked;
    • a part that is currently out of stock and you have to acknowledge that and propose a new delivery date, not a standard delivery date

    Contract review is always done.

  • PFMEA

    As you know the blue book is AIAG FMEA Rev 4 Manual. 

     When converting your PFMEA format to AIAG FMEA Rev 4 format please take consideration below explanations and these are the main important issues for the FMEA approach. 

     1)  You should add the process responsibility, key date, original date, core team, part name/number and the prepared by items in the headline on the top of FMEA.

    2) You should add the requirement column before the potential failure mode column. 

    3) After the severity column, you should add a classification column for critical product/process characteristics. 

    4) You should divide the existing controls column into 2 parts as preventive controls and detection controls.

     In this way, your FMEA format would be the same as the blue-covered book.

     You can find our FMEA formats here:
