OREANDA-NEWS. February 27, 2008. Ufaleynickel PLC’s divisions engaged in quality management operations came under a second audit. The purpose of the audit was to evaluate the quality of work on rectifying irregularities previously discovered and the enterprise’s preparedness for certification audit. When completed, the audit demonstrated that all departments and shops had assumed a fairly serious approach in matters relating to rectifying the irregularities. However, the audit revealed a certain need to further proceed with the work on enhancing the system’s effectiveness. This includes: improving the work on information gathering for consumer satisfaction assessment; making the supplier assessment card more precise; clarifying the wordings set out in the Statements of Organisation Department and Position Responsibility Write-Up for duties carried out; solving the issue of making entries to prove the provisions of Time Regulations for Sample Collection, Preparation and Analysis have been complied with; elaborating the contents of quality protocols, where remedial measures must necessarily be set forth. Pursuant to the new regulations for certification authorities, as officially approved in January 2008, the audit will be carried out in two steps. The first one is checking the documents for compliance to the ISO 9001:2000 standard requirements and on-site audit to evaluate the preparedness of the developed and deployed quality management system to undergo certification. The second step is possible on condition the documents be rated positive, and is carried out under the audit plan prepared prior to the on-site audit commencement.
