What
are the
benefits
?
The Auditor will conduct:
Final Review Audit, we come to your facility and assess your documented Management System against each element of the Standard, and confirm each “shall statement” of the standard has been addressed. Then, we use your Corrective Action System to raise non-conformances and provide recommendations for the implementation of corrective actions, prior to registration. Based on the findings of the final review audit, the certification body will make a decision regarding whether to certify the organization to the ISO standard. If all requirements are met, the organization will receive ISO certification.
Product Audits
Eagle Group® conducts audits for clients to verify that Customers / 3rd Party Tollers / Formulators / Suppliers are in compliance with agreed-to requirements. During a product audit, trained auditors examine processes, documentation, and product samples to verify compliance with selected standards. This comprehensive approach helps organizations identify potential non-conformities, improve product quality, and enhance customer satisfaction by ensuring that their products meet internationally recognized benchmarks for safety, performance, and consistency. These audits are often employed to meet Responsible Care® type Management Systems requirements. After the audit, a confidential summary report will be produced to your specifications; and If requested, we will provide additional services such as ranking of the organization. The results of these audits play a crucial role in maintaining product quality and ultimately fostering trust with customers and stakeholders.
SupplY CHAIN Audits
Many Management Systems require qualification and ongoing performance reviews of your supply chain. Get the value-added solution with an Eagle Group® audit of your critical suppliers.
Automotive Management Systems – IATF 16949 requires you to develop your suppliers to the IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 requirements. Most of the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and their Tier One suppliers allow you to audit these suppliers in lieu of requiring them to be registered.
Note: There are a few OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers that may not allow you to subcontract these audits (such as Chrysler).
Environmental and Responsible Management Systems – some Management Systems such as Responsible Care® require the supply chain to act in a responsible manner. The American Chemistry Council’s Responsible Care® Management Systems (such as RC14001) require the registered organization to: “qualify and periodically review carriers, suppliers, distributors, customers, contractors and third-party providers based on Responsible Care® or other health, safety, security and environmental performance criteria.” Other Management Systems, such as the Canadian Responsible Care® program, require Transportation Carrier Assessments every two years.
Quality Management Systems play a critical role in ensuring the efficiency and reliability of the supply chain processes within an organization. These systems are designed to monitor, control, and improve the quality of products or services throughout the entire supply chain, from raw material suppliers to end customers. They involve the implementation of various tools, methodologies, and best practices to track and manage quality at each stage of the supply chain. This includes supplier evaluations, quality inspections, performance metrics, and corrective actions when deviations are detected.
Eagle Group® will conduct the periodic evaluation of your supplier’s Compliance System, such as those for DOT and OSHA requirements.
