SUMMARY STATEMENT
(Audit Report)
This Company has a quality system which is well documented and generally in compliance with the requirements of
ISO 9001. However, the systems and procedures have not been fully implemented in the contract, planning and
product shipment areas. The audit found 33 deficiencies
• Particular concern is felt for :
(a) interaction of processes between laboratory & engineering section regarding control of monitoring & measuring
devices.
(B) lack of quality awareness on the part of project and senior management personnel.
(C) although there are systems of collecting data in production & customer related processes, the analysis and
utilizations of these data towards continual improvement is not evident.
(D) quality objectives for some important sections/functions i.e. Heat treatment section and Machine shop have
not been established.
• No significant problems were found in systems for design & purchasing processes.
• There is a need for more frequent review of the quality management systems and related process documents.
• It will therefore be necessary for the company to undertake corrective action on the deficiencies raised and for a
further audit to be carried out to verify that it had been taken before the company can be awarded a certificate.
Corrective action should be effected within three months from today.
