    Excellent article. One comment though, to me context is the external and internal “pressures” on the organization and what they do to counter act or respond to these. For example, customers put certain pressures on an organization. What does the organization do because of their customers?

    Excellent article. Is there a checklist that can be used for internal audits on ISO 9001 : 2015 and ISO 14001 : 2015 ?

    How are these executive level discussions handled in terms of audit nonconformances? If the auditor determines in his/her view that the performance is ineffective, how is that documented as “major” or “minor” nonconformances, and is it not open to debate? How are the auditors trained to have these executive level conversations and make these judgments?

    1.to answer Q7 about capturing and maintaining knowledge in the organisation one can refer to Cl 7.1.6-organisation knowledge.
    2. For other Questions too author can put the relevant sections of ISO 9001:2015
    overall excellent coverage for beginners.

    Excellent article. It would be appropriate to also include a question about how the organization has internalized the new term of 7.5 documented information.

    Thank you Craig. I have your book, ” ISO 9001: 2015 in Plain English” . Well explained. I want to get in touch with you. Can you please share your mail id ?

    Can you please share some examples for Audit exercises? (These can be used for training)

    That exercise should contain the observation by Auditor and from there we need to identify the Non-Conformities mentioning ISO 9001:2015 clauses.

    Thank you once again.

    Sorry….these are not the most important questions!

    These will get you less than half the picture of whether a QMS is healthy, robust and functioning as intended!

    Very informative write up, indeed. Some of the new requirements, such as knowledge base is very deep and value meaning for the organizations. Even a century ago a few organizations avoided trap of “not reinventing the wheel” (inefficiency) by keeping well structured documents (design, amendments, corrections, improvement etc.) so now a days having information technology, data bases, server etc. retaining and protecting information is not a big issue it used to be. However, the structure of the information is key and it is an art form known to a few not many.

    Subjective Assignment

    1.Read and understand the following scenario
    given below; Based on the scenario, state the Non
    conformity (NC) and mention the NC clause. State
    whether it is a major or minor Non conformity. Write
    the Objective evidence for Non conformity.
    The supplier development process, “Materials
    approval on the incoming inspection,” is out of
    control. Further investigation showed that the
    major problems were with new suppliers that were
    selected without any manufacturing site audit,
    as stated in the supplier development procedure
    in P7.1, Revision C. According to the purchasing
    manager, this problem happened because they did
    not have time to evaluate suppliers in the latest
    product development.
