Regarding the clause 6.3

Answer:
Adding or removing suppliers, is not related with clause 6.3
“2. When the format of a particular ISO format changes, organizational changes, equipment changes or facility change we use the change request form. Is this the correct explanation?”
Answer:
Changing forms is not related with clause 6.3. Clause 6.3 is about planning how to handle changes without breaking the quality management system. For example, when an organization moves to a new location, or introduces a set of new production equipment it is necessary to plan the introduction of these changes in a controlled way. Last year I worked with an injection molding company that duplicated the number of machines and changed location to another site, with a lot of new workers recruited – that was a great change in planning, operating and controlling production. 6.3 is about changes like this.

Some years ago, I worked with a machine manufacturin g company. One of their operations was painting parts of the machines. Then, due to stricter environmental legislation they decided to subcontract that operation to a painting services specialist. They had to change their production planning and quality control to consider the new flow of production. 6.3 is about changes like this.
