Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, D

Question no: 22 Verified Answer: = B. Establish how the organisation reviews

According to ISO 9001:2015, clause 10.3, the organisation must continually improve the suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the quality management system. The organisation must also consider the results of analysis and evaluation, and the outputs from management review, to determine if there are any needs or opportunities for improvement. SWOT analysis can help the organisation to identify the areas where improvement is needed or possible, such as addressing the weaknesses and threats, or exploiting the strengths and opportunities. However, the SWOT analysis alone is not sufficient to comply with the requirement, as the organisation also needs to take actions to implement the improvement, such as setting objectives, allocating resources, assigning responsibilities, and evaluating the effectiveness. Therefore, another audit trail would be to establish what actions were taken to improve the QMS, such as what, when, by whom, how, and with what results. 124 Reference:

This is a good question to test our understanding of audit planning. I think the key is to focus on the information that would be most useful for conducting the audit effectively, such as the findings from the previous audit and the timeline of activities. The other options seem less relevant.

I'm a little confused by this question. I'm not sure what the difference is between some of these options, like the name of the auditee general manager versus the name of the auditees and auditors. I'll have to review my notes to make sure I understand the key components of an audit plan.

Okay, I think I've got this. The audit plan should include the list of findings from the last audit, as well as the sequence and timings of the audit activities. Those seem like the most important elements to have in the plan.

This looks like a straightforward question about what should be included in an audit plan. I'll start by identifying the key elements - the list of findings from the last audit and the sequence and timings of audit activities seem like the most relevant options.

I'm not sure why the general manager's name or the certification body's technical reviewer's signature would be needed in an audit plan. Those seem like unnecessary details.
