Thank you very much for your videos!!! Very helpful! I am maybe a bit late (I've discovered this now), but how can we ask about the Note 2, as auditors? Do we simply ask a question such as "Do you have new customers on your list? What are your new products, services, technologies, etc...?" during the audit? Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the great question. You would normally uncover the opportunities the business focuses on with their outputs from clause 4.1 Context - what are the internal and external issues which normally highlights some opportunities as well. Additionally clause 4.2 Understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties will uncover opportunities. And note that clause 6.1 already refers to these clauses anyway. Additionally take a look in the management review records and outputs. What was discussed? Normally there will be any changes or influences to the business here which will include opportunities. And another areas would be their Nonconformance or Improvement Opportunity Register where you will see the stuff that has gone wrong as well as what opportunities or corrective actions they have taken. I guess in summary, Note 2 from 6.1 is embedded in everything else they do. They are surrounded by opportunities if they choose to see it this way. I hope this helps. Regards, Jackie
Some great points made there with regard to integrating the management of risks and opportunities into the organisation's processes, and how to demonstrate to auditors that identified risks and opportunities have been considered and managed, with actions taken. Though a Risk Register is very common, this isn't the only way to manage these. I was once faced with a Certification Body auditor who was insistent that the lack of a Quality Risk Register constituted a nonconformity. He finally relented, but it took some convincing.
Thanks Dean. Yes, unfortunately there are auditors out there raising nonconformances against their own opinions. I always ask 'show me where it says that in the Standard'. Thanks for your feedback and comment Dean.
Very good information, detailed about 6.1
