Auditing your QMS & EMS

It is important to schedule and conduct audits of your Quality, Environmental and Business Management Systems to ensure that all processes are performing as intended and realizing the desired results.

It is a requirement of ISO 9001.

Auditing requires resource and as such, is a cost to the business. Auditing needs to be viewed and structured as ‘value adding’, rather than just a review or ‘tick in the box’ exercise.

 

To benefit the organization, quality auditing should not only report non-conformances and corrective actions but also highlight areas of good practice. In this way, other departments may share information and amend their working practices as a result, also enhancing continual improvement.
