Internal Audits

Dear All,

Need to put in a schedule for internal audits.

Anyone got any ideas.

Thanks

Dave

Hi David,

I'm sure we can help you out with a few examples. What does the schedule need to cover? Is it for ISO 9001:2000?

Regards,
Simon

Hello Daviddale
I've attached a form I use.......I trust it is of some help
Good luck

I'd be interested to know how many manufacturers extend the scope of internal auditing schedules to include an element of hygiene/housekeeping/cleaning verification, GMP, CCP activities, etc.....

Internal Audits would cover the scopes on "Manual/Procedures Adequacy and Compliances" PLUS "Operational Adequacy and Compliances". It has to cover the entire system so to speak.

If an internal audit procedure that fails to cover those areas that you had mentioned, is it basically inadequate for purpose of management review or lacking "teeth" in identification of non-compliances.

The purposes of internal and external audits are therefore performed for different reasons.

Fiona,

Please see attached our audit schedule based on the major processes within our business

Our audit programme is fully integrated when an audit takes place, it will be an indepth look at all elements within this process.

You will notice at the bottom of the audit schedule there is reference to housekeeping audit. These are designed as quick hit compliance audits and are rugular in frequency - this is intended to keep a visual presence in the workplace and maintain standards set.

It works pretty well for us.

Rich

The form is great Richard.
I noted your signature Richard, you may wish to edit and remove that from the form that you have posted. Some person who lives life on the dark side, may decide to use your image signature illegaly.
Just my thoughts.
