Review of Nonconformances
4.2.3 Control of Documents ISO 9001:2000 states Documents required by the quality management system shall be controlled. In the XXXXX area, a binder with sketches, part numbers, dimensions, and instructions was being used which is not under control. Also, in the XXXX clean room, there was a Technical Order (external document) that was not stamped according to the document control procedure requirements (QOP-4.2.3). This Technical Order was not on the master list of external documents, and had the potential of not being updated should the customer issue a revision. 6.2.2 Competence, Awareness and Training ISO 9001:2000 states The organization shall ensure that its personnel are aware of the relevance and importance of their activities and how they contribute to the achievement of the quality objectives Although all personnel interviewed were aware of the importance of their activities, they did not know what the quality objectives were. Because of this they were not aware of how their activities contribute to the achievement of the quality objectives. 7.6 Control of Monitoring and Measuring Devices ISO 9001:2000 states, Where necessary to ensure valid results, measuring equipment shall be calibrated or verified at specified intervals, or prior to use, against measurement standards traceable to international or national measurement standards. It also states, Where necessary to ensure valid results, measuring equipment shall be identified to enable the calibration status to be determined. In the XXXX area, multiple gages were available for use that had not been calibrated per the requirements of ISO 9000, and were not identified regarding calibration status. This includes a 0.25 nogo gage, a dial caliper (last calibrated in 1992), and several personal tools such as steel rulers, etc. Also, in the XXXX clean room were approximately eight go/nogo gages, which records indicated had been internally calibrated, but had no calibration status identified on the tools. 8.3 Control of Nonconforming Product ISO 9001:2000 states, The organization shall ensure that product which does not conform to product requirements is identified and controlled to prevent its unintended use or delivery. Multiple locations have nonconforming materials that are not identified as required, including:

 8.5.3

Several large cardboard boxes containing scrap and nonconforming parts removed from assemblies. A cardboard box lid that held nonconforming XXXXXX parts removed from assemblies prior to being placed in a scrap container. Racks containing repairable customer owned material received for Company XXX to refurbish per contract.

Preventive Action Company XXXs Preventive Action procedure (QOP-8.5.3) requires that preventive actions be documented on the Corrective and Preventive Action form (MSI 035). All of the Preventive Actions resulting from the Management Review held on 1/29/02 were documented in memo form, not on form MSI 035 required.

Observations
5.6 Management Review Company XXXs Quality Manual requires management review inputs, including government audit results of property administration system and effectivity of corrective action items closed. The Management Review meeting held on 1/29/02 did not include the government audit results of property administration system, which was confirmed to have been received from the customer. Also, the closed corrective actions were not reviewed as required. This does not meet the Quality Manual requirements. However, prior to the close of the audit Company XXX completed corrective action and revised the management review input form to ensure that these items will be reviewed in the future.

Assessment Conclusion:
Overall, Company XXXs Quality Management System is well developed and implemented. The few issues identified during the internal audit are not major in nature and are correctible with the right effort. The employees are dedicated to providing a high quality product, were open with the auditor, and were very polite and honest. There are many working processes in place at Company XXX to enhance the business and increase customer satisfaction.
