Auditing
Preliminary ISO Audits
Auditee Readiness to Transition from ISO 9001: 2008 to ISO 9001:2015
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) supports the growth and development of manufacturing, trade, and communication among businesses worldwide. This global alliance accomplishes these goals by developing voluntary quality management standards that facilitate worldwide trade and the production of quality products and services, and encourages good business practices.
Registration to ISO 9001 provides objective proof that a business has implemented and satisfied all the requirements of a quality management system.
B&B Consulting provides preliminary audits that prepares a company for a full blown audit. The Internal Auditor from B&B ensures that the organizational processes and goods/services that ensue comply with the requirements of standards (e.g., ISO 9001).
B&B will:
- Evaluate organizational processes for compliance with quality
- Assist in development of internal audit plans, audit schedules
- Develop audit reports; present audit reports to top management, as needed
- Work with departments/auditees to resolve identified issues, provide recommendations and oversee the corrective action process for identified deficiencies
- Communication on status of action items and escalation of issues to management
- Research applicable regulations and standards and make recommendations for improvements to the management system to ensure the Company’s ongoing compliance
- Assist with follow-up audits, as required
Preliminary Agency Audits
Whether you are working with agencies such as FM Approvals (FM), Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL), NSF International (NSF), CSA Group (CSA) or others, B&B preliminary inspections help our customers have confidence in the reliability and quality of their suppliers they may choose to work with and the quality of the products sourced from these suppliers. The key is traceability and consistency in passing your quarterly National Recognized Testing Lab (NRTL) inspections. We can help you by coming in and performing an audit to those standards ahead of time.
Our audits focus on the facility’s quality control process and manufacturing capabilities. We provide our customers with vital information highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of a manufacturer so that they may make informed business decisions.
