Quality Audits for Iso 9001:2000: Making Compliance Value-Added

This book takes a brand new look at the entire audit process for both auditors and auditees. No longer will auditees need to feel like they must comply with an auditores checklist without understanding why compliance is helpful to, or necessary for, the organization. Likewise, auditors will learn a fresh approach for developing feedback and reports that are more than lists of failings, but are value-added assessments of an organizationes strengths and areas for improvement. By educating them as customers of the audit, this guide teaches auditees how to get the most value from their audit. Auditors will receive guidance about how to make their job something organizations will appreciate as a tool they can use to improve their company. This complete how-to guide will help auditors and organizations plan for their internal or external audit. OeHanlon himself is a registered IRCA Lead Auditor and Lead Auditor trainer who teaches you the previously undiscussed areas of the audit process. Additionally, this book will show both auditors and auditees how to make your audit a process that creates value for the organization, not just a tool to ensure compliance. Internal, second- and third-party auditors and auditees can use the numerous frequently asked questions to prepare for the situations they will encounter during an actual audit.Tim O'Hanlon is the author of 'Quality Audits for Iso 9001:2000: Making Compliance Value-Added', published 2001 under ISBN 9780873895309 and ISBN 0873895304.
