-
Production Process
-
Procurement and Supplier Management
-
Quality Control and Testing
2. Audit Findings
Document Control
-
Objective: To assess the accuracy and timeliness of controlled documents within the QMS.
-
Finding: Document versions were often outdated, and not all employees had access to the latest versions.
-
Evidence: Of 25 documents sampled, 8 were found to be outdated, posing a risk to process integrity.
-
Non-Conformance Level: Minor
-
Recommendation: Implement a digital document control system for real-time updates, alerts, and version management to ensure current document accessibility.
Production Process
-
Objective: To review adherence to standardized procedures within production lines.
-
Finding: Minor deviations from documented procedures in two production areas (Molding and Assembly) were observed.
-
Evidence: Observation revealed incomplete checklists on three out of five randomly selected workstations.
-
Non-Conformance Level: Major
-
Recommendation: Reinforce adherence by integrating checklist completion into quality control checkpoints, and implement periodic spot audits to ensure compliance.
Procurement and Supplier Management
-
Objective: To verify supplier performance and the adequacy of procurement controls.
-
Finding: Supplier evaluations are performed inconsistently, with a lack of documented follow-ups on performance issues.
-
Evidence: Of the last 12 suppliers evaluated, 3 had recurring issues not followed up with corrective actions.
-
Non-Conformance Level: Minor
-
Recommendation: Establish a more rigorous supplier performance tracking system, with quarterly reviews and documented corrective actions for suppliers with repeated performance issues.
Quality Control and Testing
-
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of quality control processes in detecting product defects before shipment.
-
Finding: Quality testing protocols were generally followed, but traceability of test results to batch numbers needs improvement.
-
Evidence: Test logs for Batch #345D lacked complete traceability due to missing identification on test result forms.
-
Non-Conformance Level: Minor
-
Recommendation: Implement barcoding on test result forms for easy batch traceability and initiate quarterly training for quality inspectors on documentation practices.

The primary issues include outdated documentation, inconsistent production checklist completion, insufficient supplier performance follow-up, and incomplete traceability in quality testing. With effective corrective actions, the organization should achieve full compliance and improve the overall efficiency and reliability of its quality management processes.
