I would like to ask experienced QAs: during second-party audits, what are the key challenges and focus areas related to the laboratory? Or rather, during the second-party audit, analysis is usually the area where issues are most likely to be detected. Those who have experienced being audited or have audited others, please share more so that we can all gain more experience. This post was last edited by thong0421 on 2009-2-27 11:29.]
Second-party audit – does it refer to the audit by the parent company? The first party should be oneself, which falls under internal audit, while the third party is ** or an organization, I guess.
Reply to Floor 2: Third-party audit does not refer to audit by the parent company; in my understanding, it means the audit of your overall performance as a supplier conducted by your downstream customers. The following is the definition of third-party auditing that I found online: Third-party auditing refers to the process in which one organization conducts audits of another organization for its own purposes, including audits carried out by customers on organizations, or by organizations on their suppliers, in order to obtain accurate information regarding the quality management system of the organization being audited and to determine whether it meets the requirements of the auditor’s own quality management system. Second-party audits are much more difficult than third-party audits, such as Unilever’s audits of its suppliers. Based on the experiences of others, it’s generally possible to get approval by paying money; even if approval isn’t granted, they will still help you get it. (My personal understanding; please correct any mistakes.) This post was last edited by thong0421 on 2009-3-3 23:53.]
Is it the S9000? The following points are available for reference: 1. The precision of the instrument, for which a certificate issued by a relevant **inspection agency is required; 2. The updating and comprehensiveness of the instrument; 3. Records of daily inspections
