Hi everyone,
My company has a plan to registered to Unannounced program next year. However, being it's the first time, I have several unclear points, and I hope you guys can help me clarify it.
_ 1: My company has a 4.5 man day audit. We usually had announced audit started on Monday or Tuesday so the audit will happen in 1 week period. However, for Unannounced audit, does the auditor come to my factory on weekend (like Friday or Saturday). In that case, will we have to work on Sunday too for the audit to be continuous, or it will be Friday - Saturday - Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday kind of thing?
_ 2: The workers start to work at 6AM, however office workers like me start to work at 8AM. So will the auditor come to my factory during 6 - 8AM? Because I need at least 1 hour to get to my factory, so if the auditor come to my factory before 8AM, there will be no personel to accompany them during that time.
_ 3: In IFS standard, it states that we can only have 10 blackout days splitting into maxium 3 periods. However, what if we have more than 3 customer visits at that time? So there will be chances that we will have an IFS Unannounced audit and customer visit on the same day.
_ 4: What will happen if the day the auditor come to our factory also is the day we are not operating due to some unforeseen problem? Will we have some penalty because of this?
Thank you guys for reading :).
