How to Evaluate IQA Findings?

Evaluation of results/Audit Findings

Categorization of Non-Conformance: this is to allow an organization to priorities its correction and prevention efforts in an effective manner.

Major non-conformance

  • An element of the standard is not addressed. (e.g. No manual, no policy, no significant procedure manual)
  • An activity, which is in direct contravention of standard.
  • An activity, which is in direct contravention of a procedure and could have significant effect on product and service quality.

Minor Non-conformance

  • An isolated incident of a non-conformance with a system or procedural requirement with no direct consequential effect on product/service quality.
  • Trends of minor non-conformance could lead to major non-conformance if more than 3 incidents of the same deficiency are encountered.

Observation

  • Comments on the quality system with a view to improvement.
