PECB ISO-9001-Lead-Auditor Exam Dumps - Actual Questions Answers

According to the ISO 9000:2015 - Quality management systems — Fundamentals and vocabulary, correction is defined as “action to eliminate a detected nonconformity”. A nonconformity is defined as “non-fulfilment of a requirement”. Therefore, the process of modifying a non-conforming product to bring it within acceptance criteria is a correction, as it eliminates the non-fulfilment of the product specification. The other options are not correct, as they have different definitions and purposes:

•Concession: permission to release or use a nonconforming product, service or process

•Corrective action: action to eliminate the cause of a nonconformity and to prevent recurrence

•Preventive action: action to eliminate the cause of a potential nonconformity or other undesirable potential situation

The action that the auditor would have accepted is:

•Option B: Apply the existing process of addressing the risks and opportunities of milk production. This option is correct because ISO 9001:2015 clause 8.1 requires the organization to plan, implement and control the processes needed to meet the requirements for the provision of products and services, and to implement actions determined in clause 6.1, which refers to the actions to address risks and opportunities. The organization should apply the existing process of addressing the risks and opportunities of milk production, which may include identifying the sources of variability, assessing the potential impacts and consequences, determining and implementing appropriate actions to reduce or eliminate the variability, monitoring and measuring the effectiveness of the actions, and reviewing and updating the actions as necessary.

The following options are not correct:

•Option A: Modify the contract with the current customer to provide them with only 1,500 litres of milk per day and make an agreement with a second customer. This option is not correct because it does not address the root cause of the variability in the daily production of the milking yard, which may affect the quality and consistency of the products and services provided by the organization. It also does not demonstrate the organization’s commitment to meet the customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, as required by ISO 9001:2015 clause 8.2.2.

•Option C: Retain the current contract and try to sell the occasional surplus milk to a second customer. This option is not correct because it does not address the root cause of the variability in the daily production of the milking yard, which may affect the quality and consistency of the products and services provided by the organization. It also does not demonstrate the organization’s commitment to meet the customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, as required by ISO 9001:2015 clause 8.2.2.

•Option D: Analyse the daily dispatch of milk for 7 days to determine its variability. This option is not correct because it does not address the root cause of the variability in the daily production of the milking yard, which may affect the quality and consistency of the products and services provided by the organization. It also does not demonstrate the organization’s commitment to implement actions to address risks and opportunities, as required by ISO 9001:2015 clause 8.1.
