8.2.2 INTERNAL AUDIT
FCI conducts internal audits at planned intervals to determine whether the quality
management system:
Is effectively implemented and maintained.
The audit program is planned, taking into consideration the status and importance
of the processes and areas to be audited, as well as the results of previous audits.
The audit criteria, scope, frequency, and methods are defined. Selection of
auditors and conduct of audits will ensure objectivity and impartiality of the audit
process.
Auditors will not audit their own work.
A documented procedure shall be established to define the responsibilities and
requirements for planning and conducting audits, establishing records and
reporting results.
Records of the audits and their results shall be maintained.
The management responsible for the area being audited shall ensure that any
necessary corrections and corrective actions are taken without undue delay to
eliminate detected nonconformities and their causes. Follow-up activities shall
include the verification of the actions taken and the reporting of verification
results.
The President of FCI shall be notified of the findings and assure that the
corrective actions are implemented.
8.2.3 MEASUREMENT AND MONITORING OF PROCESSES
FCI applies suitable methods for monitoring and where applicable, measurement
of the quality management system processes. These methods demonstrate the
ability of the processes to achieve planned results. When planned results are not
achieved, correction and corrective action is taken, as appropriate. In the event of
process nonconformity, the organization will:
a)
Take appropriate action to correct the nonconforming process,
b)
Evaluate whether the process nonconformity has resulted in product
nonconformity, and
c)
Determine if the process nonconformity is limited to a specific case or whether
it could have affected other processes or products, and
d)
Identify and control any nonconforming product (see 8.3).
