In order for the product to pass quality
control, it undergoes a series of tests that, depending on what it is, will
vary. Quality control for food is not the same as for a part of a car, a
plastic product for sale in a household, a spray, etc. Each product has its
quality standards and specifications and it is what must be respected.
The best companies are those that
strictly comply with the quality control of their products, as they offer a
guarantee to the client that everything, they offer is good. Their consumption
implies the brand's professionalism.
Even so, in order to avoid that there
could be some type of deception to the clients, usually, the companies contract
external inspection services like KRT
Inspect service, that by surprise, are in charge of monitoring that they
are carried out. all analyzes and tests on the products that the company works
with.
Let us find out the procedure of an
audit:
Audit planning:
The date of the audit needs to be
planned in advance. It is not just about executing the internal audit but also
having enough time to obtain the final results. It is the person in charge of
Quality Management who determines in the calendar the general audit, the
internal audits, the appointment of the worker or workers, responsible for
carrying them out or the roadmaps to follow.
Once the exact date for the internal
audit is known, the person responsible for the part of the process to be
audited will be informed on the day it will be carried out, the schedule, and
the documents that must be prepared.
Development of the audit:
On the appointed date, the internal
auditor explains to the person in charge of the process to be audited how the
evaluation will be carried out before beginning.
The audit begins when both are verifying
the performance of the requirements established in the roadmap to follow. In
the event of non-compliance with the requirements or options for improvement of
the system used, the internal auditor records them.
Writing of non-conformities:
All aspects that do not follow the
criteria established in the ISO 9001 standard are noted.
Preparation of a final audit
report:
The internal auditor writes a report
with the result of the evaluation. This report must be made known not only to
the person in charge of the audited area. But also, to the entire department so
that they are aware of the situation and the reasons for implementing
corrective measures if any. All the measures adopted must be based on the
collected evidence, no personal assumptions are taken into account.
Monitoring of the measures adopted:
Agreed measures to overcome deficiencies
found during the internal audit should be monitored to ensure that
nonconformities are corrected and that the audit has borne fruit. Similarly,
the proposals made to achieve an improvement in the quality management system
are also monitored.

inspections, lab testing services, or factory and supplier audits, do not hesitate
