WHAT IS QUALITY
• An organization focused on quality promotes a culture that
results in the behavior, attitudes, activities and processes that
deliver value through fulfilling the needs and expectations of
customers and other relevant interested parties.

• The quality of an organization’s products and services is


determined by the ability to satisfy customers and the
intended and unintended impact on relevant interested
parties.

• The quality of products and services includes not only their


intended function and performance, but also their perceived
value and benefit to the customer.

Intertek Academy 9

identifies its objectives and determines the processes
and resources required to achieve desired results.

PROCESS APPROACH
Process- “Set of interrelated or interacting activities that use inputs to deliver an intended results. “
This International Standard promotes the adoption of a process approach when developing,
implementing and improving the effectiveness of QMS, to enhance customer satisfaction by meeting
customer requirements.
Understanding and managing interrelated processes as a system contributes to the organization’s
effectiveness and efficiency in achieving its intended results. This approach enables the organization to
control the interrelationships and interdependencies among the processes of the system, so that overall
performance of the system can be enhanced.
Management of the processes and the system as whole can be achieved using P-D-C-A cycle with an
overall focused on risk based thinking aimed at taking advantages of opportunities and preventing
undesirable results.
The application of the process approach in the QMS system enables:
a)Understanding and consistency in meeting requirements
b) The consideration of processes in terms of added value
c) The achievement of effective process performance.
d)Improvement of processes based on evaluation of data
Intertek Academy 23
SCOPE
This International Standard specifies requirements for a quality management system when an
organization:
a) needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer
and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and
b) aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including
processes for improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable
statutory and regulatory requirements.
All the requirements of this International Standard are generic and are intended to be applicable to any
organization, regardless of its type or size, or the products and services it provides.

NOTE 1 In this International Standard, the terms “product” or “service” only apply to products and
services intended for, or required by, a customer.
NOTE 2 Statutory and regulatory requirements can be expressed as legal requirements.

Intertek Academy 24
RISK BASED THINKING

Risk-based thinking (see Clause A.4) is essential


for achieving an effective quality management To conform to the requirements of this
system. The concept of risk-based thinking has International Standard, an organization needs to
been implicit in previous editions of this plan and implement actions to address risks and

carrying out preventive action to eliminate opportunities establishes a basis for increasing

conformities that do occur, and taking action to improved results and preventing negative

“Where the detailed requirements of the organization’s products and services are not already
established or not defined by the customer or by other interested parties, such that they are adequate
for subsequent production or service provision, the organization shall establish, implement and
maintain a design and development process.

NOTE 1 The organization can also apply the requirements given in 8.5 to the development of processes
for production and services provision

NOTE 2 For services, design and development planning can address the whole service delivery process.
The organization can therefore choose to consider the requirements of clauses 8.3 and 8.5 together”

8.4 CONTROL OF EXTERNALLY PROVIDED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
8.4.1. GENERAL
“The organization shall ensure that externally provided processes, products and services conform to
specified requirements.
The organization shall apply the specified requirements for the control of externally provided products
and services when:
a) products and services are provided by external providers for incorporation into the organization’s own
products and services;
b) products and services are provided directly to the customer(s) by external providers on behalf of the
organization;”
ISO 9001:2015
8.4 CONTROL OF EXTERNALLY PROVIDED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. 8.4.1.
GENERAL
“c) a process or part of a process is provided by an external provider as a result of a decision by the
organization to outsource a process or function.

The organization shall establish and apply criteria for the evaluation, selection, monitoring of
performance and re-evaluation of external providers based on their ability to provide processes or
products and services in accordance with specified requirements.

The organization shall retain appropriate documented information of the results of the evaluations,
monitoring of the performance and re-evaluations of the external providers.”
ISO 9001:2015
8.4 CONTROL OF EXTERNALLY PROVIDED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES - KEY
CHANGES
▪To replace Section 7.4.1 and 7.4.3 from ISO 9001:2008.
▪Extended platform adopted by DIS: 2014. The requirement now now explicitly sets out those instances in
which the organisation must apply controls to external providers
▪The new requirement here is to establish criteria to monitor the performance of external providers and
to have the results of the evaluation, re-evaluation and performance as documented information.
▪ In ISO 9001:2008 sub-clause 7.4.1, it is required to keep records of the “criteria” for selection, evaluation
and re-evaluation of the suppliers. Whereas, in ISO 9001:2015, organisations are required to record not
only the criteria, but also the results of these activities, including performance.
▪Note: an “external provider” is a provider external to the scope of the quality management system. As
such, if a scope of registration covers a single plant in a wider group structure then anything sourced from
other members of the group would be “externally provided” and hence subject to the requirements of
clause 8.4
8.4.2 TYPE AND EXTENT OF CONTROL OF EXTERNAL PROVISION

AUDIT PROGRAM VS AUDIT PLAN

Audit program
An audit program (or programme)
is a set of arrangements that are
intended to achieve a specific
audit purpose within a specific
time frame. It includes all of the
activities and resources needed
to plan, organize, and conduct
one or more audits.

Audit plan
An audit plan specifies how you
intend to conduct a particular
audit. It describes the activities
you intend to carry out in order to
achieve your audit objectives.
REASONS FOR CONDUCTING INTERNAL AUDITS

To examine the system for improvements


To determine compliance or non-compliance with the
requirements of the standard or applicable legal requirements
To make a decision, if there is any gap or raising NC
To establish continued conformity of the system to the
management standard

What is the Problem ?


• describe clearly, concisely and factually
Why is it a noncompliance ?
• i.e. against what requirement
Where did it occur ?
• i.e. which department or activity
Who ? - avoid apportioning blame
• (i.e. naming individuals)

Intertek Academy 130


NONCONFORMITY REPORT

Used to report nonconformity audit findings


Must be factual
Must be understandable and traceable
Raise formal notification of any issues at the time of
finding
Allow the auditee to implement corrective action
prior to the closing meeting
The auditee is requested to sign signifying an
understanding and acceptance of the non-
compliance

WORDING OF NCR’S
It is important when preparing NCR’s to take care and ensure it is justified.

Failure to achieve clear factual information will invite challenge of the findings at
the closing meeting.

This will be particularly important in areas where the emphasis is placed on the
following
• Management Commitment

• Competence

• Communication

• Continual improvement
