Explanation
Relationship between System, Process and Product Audit
-
System, process and product audits represent a selection of the audit types available; however, this listing does not claim to be exhaustive. Comparison of the audit types : Audit Type / Subject / Purpose
System Audit
---> Quality System
---> Assessment of the completeness and effectiveness of the basic requirements.
Process Audit
---> Product development process / Serial production
---> Service development process / Providing the service
---> Assessment of the quality capability for specific products/product groups and their processes
Product Audit
---> Products or services
---> Assessment of quality characteristics
Process audits may be initiated, e.g., for the following reasons: decreasing process quality, customer complaints, and changes in the production sequence, - process insecurities, cost reductions, internal request.
Process audits can be applied internally and externally across the full quality cycle in the following areas: Marketing, Development, Purchasing (Product/Service), Production/Service Provision, Sales/Commissioning, Customer Service/Services, Recycling
Individual Evaluation of the Questions and Process Elements
-
Each question is evaluated with regard to the respective requirements and their consistent achievement in the product development process (service process) and the serial production (service). The evaluation can result in 0, 4, 8, 10 points for each question, whereby the proven compliance with the requirements is the measure for awarding points. For a grading under 10 points corrective actions with deadlines have to be determined.
Evaluation of compliance with individual requirements
10 - Full compliance with requirements
8 - Predominant compliance with requirements; minor nonconformities *
6 - Partial compliance with requirements; more severe nonconformities
4 - Unsatisfactory compliance with requirements, major nonconformities
0 - No compliance with requirements
(*) Predominant means, that more than ¾ of all requirements have proven to be effective and no special risk is given.
The degree of conformity EE of a process element is calculated from:
Sum of all points awarded for the respective questions
EE [%] = ------------------------------------------------------------------- x 100%
Sum of all possible points of the respective questions

Grade. % Description of the grading
A 90 to 100 Full compliance.
B 70 to less than 90 Partial compliance
C less than 70 No compliance -
