ISO-9001-Lead-Auditor Dumps - QMS ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor Exam Practice Exam Questions

During a third-party audit of a pharmaceutical organisation (CD9000) site of seven COVID-19 testing laboratories in various terminals at

a major international airport, you interview the CD 9000's General Manager (GM), who was accompanied by Jack, the legal compliance

expert. Jack is acting as the guide in the absence of the Technical Manager due to him contracting COVID-19.

You: "What external and internal issues have been identified that could affect CD9000 and its quality management system?"

GM: "Jack guided us on this. We identified issues like probable competition of another laboratory organisation in the airport, legal

requirements on COVID-19 continuously changing, the shortage of competent laboratory analysists, the epidemic declining soon,

shortage of chemicals for the analysis. It was quite a good experience."

You: "Did you document these issues?"

GM: "No. Jack said that ISO 9001 does not require us to document these issues."

You: "How did you determine the risks associated with the issues and did you plan actions to address them?"

GM: "I am not sure. The Technical Manager is responsible for this process. Jack may be able to answer this question in his absence."

Select two options for how you would respond to the General Manager's suggestion:

You, as auditor, are in dialogue with the quality lead and managing director of a small business that supplies specialist laboratory equipment and furniture.

You: "I'd like to look at how you manage change in the organisation. What changes have you made as a

business, say, over the last 12 months?"

Auditee: "We have made some strategic changes, the main one being that we no longer manufacture our

own products in house."

You: "That sounds like quite a significant change. What has been the impact of that?"

Auditee: "We now mainly sell other manufacturers' products, under their brand names, and have outsourced

manufacture of our own brand products to one of our suppliers. Unfortunately, we had to make six members

of our staff redundant. This represents about 20% of our workforce, so this has been quite a challenging

time."

You: "I'm sure. What were the reasons for making the change?"

Auditee: "Our manufacturing section was a small operation, and we struggled to cope with fluctuations in

demand. During busy periods, we found it hard to meet lead times, and in quiet periods we had staff with

little to do. This was having an impact on customer satisfaction and meant we had to charge premium prices

that made our product uncompetitive."

You: "How did you go about the change?"

The auditor asks to speak to the purchasing manager about the selection of the subcontractor to

manufacture the company's own brand products.

You: "How did you choose a supplier to manufacture your products?"

Auditee: "We have had a long-term relationship with a supplier ABC Ltd - we gave them our design

drawings, got them to complete a supplier questionnaire and run a couple of trial batches for us. We were

happy with the result and we have used them ever since."

ISO 9001:2015, clause 8.4.1 outlines situations when controls need to be applied to externally provided processes, products and services. Which one of the following situations is applicable to this scenario?

In the context of a second-party audit, match the activity with the party responsible for conducting it.
