Process Approach• ISO 9001:2008 requires the Company
adopt the “process approach” to its management activities.
• “The application of a system of processes within an organization,together with the identification and interactions of these processes, and their management, can be referred to as the ‘process approach.’” --- ISO 9001:2008 clause 0.2.

The ISO 9001: 1987/1994 Method
• LINEAR• Assumes the Company’s operations are
comprised of a sequential, linear set of operations, managed in tandem.
• Example:
• Receipt of Customer order Create traveler manufacture product inspection delivery

The ISO 9001:2008 Method
• Everything has inputs and outputs, making it a “process.”• Those inputs may not appear on a linear graph, as they may
not always come from a previous process.• Outputs may then be used by multiple subsequent
processes.

Benefits of the Process Approach
• Shows a more accurate picture of a Company’s operations than the “life cycle” or linear model.
• Everyone knows where they fit in the Company’s scheme.• As a result, may reveal built-in problems immediately. Examples:
– Points out built-in inefficiencies– Points out redundancies– Enables companies to review areas for growth or cutback and
predicts areas affected of such changes• Each process has its inputs and outputs (internal Customers)
clearly defined• Enables management to set goals and objectives by process,
instead of global ones that don’t address sourceCopy

Process ≠ Procedure• Not every process needs a procedure.
For example, “sorting files” may be a process but do you need a procedure on how to sort?
• Where ISO calls for “defining” a process, this may not always require a “procedure.”
• Sometimes “defining” is a simple sentence in the Quality Manual or a box on a flowchart, not an entire procedure.

The Auditing Process• Despite weaknesses in 19011 – which
treats auditing as a “program” instead of a “process” – registrars nonetheless have properly interpreted ISO 9001 as requiring auditing to be conducted both:

ClausesAS9100 / ISO 9001:2008 is comprised of Nine “Clauses” each of which is subdivided into any number of sub-clauses.
Clauses 0 through 3 are introductory, and not auditable (i.e., they do not contain requirements for registration or for implementation.)
Clauses 4 through 8 however ARE auditable and contain the requirements of ISO 9001 and AS9100.
Thoroughly review changes in ISO 9001:2008 and AS9100C as part of this orientation.
Also, consider the affects that changes in ISO 9001:2008 have on the business operation.

interview certain people– Sit or stand between the Escort and Operator while
facing the Operator, maintain eye contact with the Operator – the Escort fixes communication problems
– Try to sense when an Operator is too busy for questions then find other ways to keep the audit moving
– Avoid irrelevant information by focusing on the topic of interest without alienating the OperatorCo

Objective Evidence is...
• ... "Information which can be proven true, based on facts obtained through observation, measurement, test or other means."
• In other words, objective evidence must have a component that can be verified.
• Think: “will someone else be able to verify my evidence at a later date?”

No Baggage
• “Baggage” is the personal experiences we bring to an audit that sometimes get in our way of objectivity.
• An Auditor must not “fill in the blanks” to an audit based on his or her own experience, which may or may not be relevant.

• Jones and Smith work for ABC Iron Manufacturing, Inc. Smith works the 4 to 12 shift and Jones works 12 to 8 shift. Both workers began work on January 1st. New employees for ABC Iron must undergo one month training on first shift before being assigned to their permanent shift. Smith earns $10.00 per hour and Jones earns $11.00 per hour; in most cases, workers earn more per hour due to seniority.
• During one manufacturing operation, Smith burns his leg and loses seven days of work. Returning from work, Smith pokes out an eye whilesharpening a pencil and is hospitalized for another month. Returning from this injury, Smith's eye is patched and he cannot see his equipment properly. As a result, Smith sets his automatic cutting machine for 0.5 instead of 1.0 and parts begin to eject from the machine 1/2" too short. Smith is called into the office by his Supervisor, Lee, and is reprimanded for poor work performance; during the conversation, Smith gets agitated and causes Lee's temper to flare. Lee yells, causing Smith to have a psychotic episode. Smith picks up a welding torch and tries to attack Lee but Teddy Jones interrupts and breaks up the fight before any injuries occur. Smith is fired from the Company.
• At midnight, Smith tells his wife of the incident and she announces her intention to divorce him as a result. Smith has a nervous breakdown and is put into an asylum for the next six years. Smith's chief therapist, Dr. Jekyll, teaches Smith a way to properly vent his anger. Upon his release, Smith begins work again as an ISO 9000 Auditor and is hugely successful.
