PECB ISO-9001-Lead-Auditor Dumps

According to clause 8.4 of ISO 9001:2015, the organization should ensure that externally provided processes, products, and services conform to the specified requirements. To do so, the organization should:

•Establish the criteria for the selection, evaluation, and re-evaluation of external providers, based on their ability to provide processes, products, and services in accordance with the requirements. The criteria should be documented and applied consistently.

•Evaluate the potential external providers before selecting them, using the established criteria. The evaluation methods may include questionnaires, audits, references, samples, etc. The results of the evaluation should be documented and reviewed.

•Select the external providers that have demonstrated their competence and conformity to the requirements. The selection should be based on the evaluation results and the organization’s needs. The selection should be documented and approved.

•Communicate the requirements for the processes, products, and services to be provided by the external provider, including the verification and validation activities, the acceptance criteria, the documentation requirements, the changes control, etc. The communication methods may include purchase orders, contracts, agreements, etc. The communication should be clear, complete, and timely.

•Monitor the performance and conformity of the external provider, using the established criteria and methods. The monitoring methods may include inspections, tests, audits, feedback, complaints, etc. The monitoring results should be documented and analyzed.

In this case, the evidence statements that demonstrate a nonconformity with clause 8.4 are A and C, because they show that the organization did not retain documented information of the selection and evaluation of the external provider, and the monitoring of the external provider’s performance. These are requirements of the standard and essential for ensuring the quality of the externally provided processes, products, and services. The other options are not directly related to clause 8.4, although they may indicate other nonconformities or weaknesses in the organization’s QMS. For example, option B may relate to clause 7.1.3 on contingency planning, option D may relate to clause 8.2.3 on review of requirements, option E may relate to clause 8.6 on release of products and services, and option F may relate to clause 5.1.1 on leadership and commitment.

Match the process descriptions below to the process names:

The process by which the accuracy of test equipment is checked against a known standard. = Calibration

The process by which a product or service is visually examined to determine conformity to requirements. = Evaluation

The process by which data is examined in detail to reach a specific answer or answers. = Analysis

The process by which a parameter of a product or service is examined to determine a specific value. = Measurement

According to the ISO 9000:2015 - Quality management systems — Fundamentals and vocabulary, the definitions of the process names are as follows:

• Calibration: operation that, under specified conditions, in a first step, establishes a relation between the quantity values with measurement uncertainties provided by measurement standards and corresponding indications with associated measurement uncertainties and, in a second step, uses this information to establish a relation for obtaining a measurement result from an indication.
• Evaluation: determination of the suitability, adequacy or effectiveness of an object to achieve established objectives.
• Analysis: detailed examination of the elements or structure of something.
• Measurement: process to experimentally obtain one or more quantity values that can reasonably be attributed to a quantity.

Therefore, the process descriptions can be matched to the process names based on these definitions.

According to the definition in ISO 9000, a nonconformity is “non-fulfillment of a requirement”. There are three parts to a well-documented nonconformity: the audit evidence to support auditor findings; a record of the requirement against which the nonconformity is detected; and the statement of nonconformity1. In this case, the audit evidence is the dispatch records that show the same batch number of the product being delivered by two different trucks at different times. The requirement is the procedure P-02 Rev.3 that says that trucks should carry a complete batch. The statement of nonconformity is that the batch 33555 was delivered split in two different trucks (011 and 025), which does not conform to the procedure. Therefore, option C best describes the identified nonconformity, as it includes all three parts of a well-documented nonconformity. Option A is not correct, as it does not state the audit evidence or the requirement. Option B is not correct, as it does not specify the audit evidence or the statement of nonconformity. Option D is not correct, as it does not match the audit evidence or the requirement. References: 1: ISO 9001 Auditing Practices Group Guidance on Nonconformity - Documenting.
