An аuditоr is аuditing а manufacturing cоmpany tо the requirements of both ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015. This particular company buys old lawn mowers from a variety of different sources and then repairs and refurbishes the lawn mowers for sale to its customers. For the following audit situation, write the nonconformance statements that apply and any weakness or opportunity for improvement statements that you deem appropriate based on the evidence provided. Note that there may be more than one nonconformance statement. Follow the guidelines for developing nonconformance statements given in class, clearly identifying the evidence, nature, and requirement. If necessary, state any assumptions. The auditor begins in the Purchasing Department, and is in the process of reviewing several purchase orders for old lawn mowers from a farm equipment dealer called FarmTech. She asks if FarmTech is an approved supplier, and the Purchasing Manager shows her the latest revision of the Approved Supplier List which does indeed include this particular farm equipment dealer and also shows her the criteria against which this supplier was evaluated and the records proving that the supplier meets those criteria. The auditor is also shown a schedule which indicates FarmTech was scheduled to be reassessed and reevaluated in March 2022. In reviewing the purchase orders, the auditor notices that the quantities, brands, and models of the lawn mowers purchased are not clearly indicated on the purchase orders. The Purchasing Manager replies, “For this type of supplier, we can’t specify that level of detail on the purchase orders. In general, we buy whatever we are able to get from them!” The auditor then goes to talk to some of the personnel who are responsible for the repair and refurbishment of the lawn mowers. She asks several of these employees how they know what repairs and other activities are needed for the wide variety of lawn mowers that they work on. Several employees responded that they attend training sessions on each of the different brands and models that they work on. The Training Manager verified that each employee is required to attend these training sessions. However, the Training Manager did not have any records of this training. The auditor then asks if there are any work instructions or other information describing the characteristics of the lawn mowers that required the employees’ attention during the repair process. Several employees confirmed that there were no such instructions, and that they did what they thought best based on their personal experience but that work instructions like that would certainly be helpful. The auditor then asks if there are any established guidelines for how to dispose of waste oil or other potentially hazardous substances encountered during the repair process. The auditor is shown a procedure for disposal of these wastes into clearly identified waste barrels and other authorized containers on-site. When asked what might happen if any of those wastes were accidentally poured down a drain, one employee responded, “I don’t know, but it happens all the time!”
