General Help

  • Take photographs or sketch to help clarify any issues you identify as required in each section. Don't forget to record the good points as well.

    You must select compliance level from the options:

    OK = Satisfactory (It is working effectively and reliably)
    NCR = Non-Conforming (It is NOT working effectively)
    OBS = Observation (there may be a slight deviation but generally is working well)
    OFI = Opportunity for Improvement (ideas that could make it better than it is)
    N/A = Not Applicable (this question does not apply to the area being audited)

  • Please ensure you write down, or photograph: serial numbers, reference numbers, order numbers etc to ensure that the audit is repeatable

    When the process goes wrong - and results in nonconformance - is action taken to resolve the issue in terms of documenting the problem, disposal action being taken (scrap, rework etc), containment action (making sure the customers not receive the problem), root cause analysis, and finally corrective action to resolve the root cause?

    Additionally, is such failure analysed and improved upon, as well as applying preventive measures proactively?

    Is there any evidence that materials in use do not conform to requirements and could affect quality (for example rusty, dimensionally non-compliant, visually non-compliant, deteriorating, etc). If so, are they clearly identified as nonconforming, with appropriate action identified? Look at frozen stock on the system and physically, is there a risk of it being picked?

    Is the product being produced ( eg assembly, rebadging, etc, for example adding underclamps to tapping tees) compliant to the specification? For example labels (including barcode labels for example) visual appearance, type of product/material, engraving/stamping etc (check also compliance against any quality alerts, etc).

    If the product is non-compliant, is the product being bonded pending a decision?

    Is rework being managed effectively? For example if site 1 ask for rework at the warehouse how is this managed? is there a count of scrap/good production? How do the warehouse know what to look for? Are the quality department aware of such rework/sorting? has it been verified as acceptable?

    If relabelled with batch numbers, is the original date of manufacture applied to rework rather than the date of rework? Are the component parts being used to rework being kept separate from normal items to prevent inadvertent use on the wrong job?
