I disagree with the above.

ISO requires audit's to be performed by your internal audit teams on a monthly basis. They audit all department SOP's, manufacturing compliance to Work Instructions, Quality Plan, Monitoring Plan, FOD compliance, Risk Assessments, Supplier Audits, KPI's, product yields, training matrix's, NCR process, CARS and along with an annual audit by outside auditors.

The most important job for management is to support and promote a Quality Culture.

Our plant is audited every year and for almost everything you posted above Troy. When they show up they are treated to a catered breakfast, lunch and than taken out for dinner. This is the norm everywhere. Makes you wounder what goes on at those dinners doesn't it? Kind of like our training centers (BTW this is going on at Ford and GM too),"keep them fat, dumb and happy" LOL

Union land must work very differently than down here in right to work states. We are audited frequently to maintain our ISO, both internally and externally. No meal, no trips to the strip club, just a meeting room, cold bottled water, and a poor sap from a few selected departments that have to pull up document after document as requested.

Findings are a regular part of the audits, and are revisited at each follow up audit to ensure the finding was corrected.
