Question 1

The procedures of an organisation require that all purchase orders have to be signed by the Purchasing Manager, or, in her absence, by the Production Manager. During an audit carried out in November 2020, an auditor determined that during three weeks in February 2020, the purchase orders were not signed. You raise a nonconformance under Clause 8.4.3 of ISO 9001:2015.

Which one of the following answers would you accept as a 'correction' from the Purchasing Manager?

Options:

All products related to those purchase orders have already been successfully used during the first quarter of 2020, therefore there is no need for correction. We will only take corrective action.

During those weeks, as I was on holiday, the production manager should have signed those purchase orders. As a correction to this particular nonconformity, I will ask him to sign them.

I do not accept the nonconformity. Anything I may ask my employees to do will be seen as another piece of evidence that complying with ISO 9001 requirements is a bureaucratic valueless burden.

I will sign all the purchase orders now. It will take some time to print them since they are on a backup disk, but I will get them done before the end of the audit.

Question 2

Scenario 4:

TD Advertising is a print management company based in Chicago. The company offers design services, digital printing, storage, and distribution. As TD expanded, its management recognized that success depended on adopting new technologies and improving quality.

To ensure customer satisfaction and quality improvement, the company decided to pursue ISO 9001 certification.

After implementing the QMS, TD hired a well-known certification body for an audit. Anne Key was appointed as the audit team leader. She received a document listing the audit team members, audit scope, criteria, duration, and audit engagement limits.

Anne reviewed the document and approved the audit mandate. The certification body and TD’s top management signed the certification agreement.

Before contacting TD, Anne reviewed the audit scope and noticed that TD made changes to it due to the adoption of new printing equipment. However, Anne disagreed with the changes, stating they would affect the audit timeline. She considered withdrawing from the audit.

Based on scenario 4, conducting which of the activities below is NOT the responsibility of Anne?

Options:

Establishing audit criteria and objectives.

Determining the audit feasibility.

Assigning responsibilities for the audit team members.

Signing the certification agreement.
