Question 6

A Health Trust has contracted with Servitup, a catering services company that has been certified to ISO
9001 for one year. It provides services to 10 small rural hospitals in remote locations involving the purchase and storage of dry goods and fresh produce, preparing meals and loading heated trolleys for ward service by hospital staff. You, as auditor, are conducting the first surveillance audit at one site with the Deputy Catering Manager (DCM).
DCM: "I apologise for the absence of the Catering Manager. He has called in sick today and we are really short of staff." You: "I see. It really shouldn't affect the QMS so the audit can progress as normal." DCM: "The Catering Manager set up the system. I'm afraid I'm not as familiar with it as he is." You: "OK, let's start with the Quality Policy. What are the main issues for the QMS here?" DCM: Give me a minute. I need to look at the Quality Policy on the noticeboard in his office.
You find that two internal audits have been carried out in the first year by the Catering Manager. One of them indicates that complaints from patients are increasing in number, mainly due to food being served too cold. The DCM comments that the trolley thermometer is often unreliable.
Which two of the following actions would be "correction" in dealing with the complaints?

  • Question 10

    You work as an external quality consultant for an organisation, 'A', which provides packaged food to the public. You are asked to lead a team (you as the leader and two other auditors) to audit a supplier, 'B', to ISO
    9001 which provides packaging materials to your organisation. It is 4 pm and the audit is close to an end; you are having an internal meeting with the team to decide what will be presented to the auditee during the Closing meeting. The Closing meeting was scheduled at 5 pm.
    You, as Audit Team Leader, audited top management. You explain to the audit team that you identified two nonconformities:
    a. There is no documented information on Top Management Reviews, as required in clause 9.3 of ISO
    9001:2015.
    b. There is no evidence of Top Management Commitment as required in clause 5.1 of ISO 9001:2015. (e.g., not ensuring the availability of resources to operate the QMS, not ensuring the establishment of objectives, no promotion of improvement, no promotion of the process approach).
    All agreed to present these two nonconformities. They went to meet the Top Management of 'B' and noticed that the General Manager and three other managers (Production, Human Resources, and Sales) were present in the meeting room.
    Considering the seriousness of the two nonconformities to Top Management, as audit team leader, from the following select the best option:
