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

Like I said the most important job for management is to support and promote a Quality Culture. I can assure you when the ISO auditors audit my shop, they audit very thoroughly and now that we're AS9100D (Aerospace) is like ISO9000 on steroids and the auditors are even more detailed and thorough so it doesn't go on everywhere like you think it does.
