This tool is one of the most effective tool offered by ISO 9001 since the year 2000. It has not been rightly used . Most organization loose their focus as they are more focused on the end output. While the process approach asks you to start with the output in mind – the rest is all about focusing and detailing the process and improving the same.
A very common approach to process detailing is the SIPOC approach (Supplier – Input –process-Output-Customer) W can of courses add Key performance indicators(6.2) , Risk(6.1) and Responsibilities in this to make the approach a modified one as SIPOCKRR.
Generally, it is a good idea to follow the best practice as outlined in clause 6.2.1 of ISO 9001:2015 for setting the Key performance indicator for the particular process.
For defining responsibilities –though it may vary from organization to organization but it is a good practice if primary , secondary and monitoring responsibilities are defined for each process.
Once the SPOCKRR charts are made – this is just the starting point. If any meaningful benefit is to be derived out of process approach – processes have to be reviewed and improved and one good way is to always improve the benchmark/KPI for the process.
Eurotech Training division provides open house and In-house courses for designing and improving SIPOCKRR charts for processes. For open house ISO process design and improvement course check out our calendar.

While internal audit is focused on process realization and effectiveness, this second tool actually complements the Internal audit in making sure that hard work done in the internal audit does not goes to waste.
It is well know how corrective action is different from correction in terms of focus being th prevention of recurrence of the problem.
It is very important that companies make use of this TOOL not only for the nonconformities or gaps identified during the internal audit but also for all kinds of complaints and unplanned emergencies which take away the management’s time.
In essence this is one of the most underutilized and ineffectively used tools in the ISO 9001 Toolkit. To be able to gauge effectiveness of Corrective action Process one can have a look at the quality aspects of corrective action process such as , involvement of people, defined methodology, promptness of action, effectiveness of action, No of process identified as being able to affect this Corrective action or non conforming situation and relationship.
A simple method to make sure that corrective action is effective is
Many methods can be used for Root cause analysis but a few common ones are
Though more methods are available but it is easy to use these methods
Common Flaws in using Corrective Action Tool :
Possible KPI for Corrective Action Processes are

Internal Audit and its KPI –TOOL ONE: With this tool provided by ISO, the intent is to identify two kinds of gaps on a continuous basis – whether the QMS is being followed as defined (process compliance) and whether the QMS processes are achieving their identified KPI (process effectiveness). One has to remember that Internal audit though may have some objective as outlined but it itself is a process and should have its own Key performance Indicators. The number of key performance indicators can vary from organization to organization depending on the maturity of the organization’s management system. Some of the possible type of KPI for Internal audit process may be
The above KPI are very generic in nature and may not give any INSIGHT on the quality of Internal audit process which is dependent upon the competency of the auditor- (auditing competency and process knowledge), Independence , tools used (checklist) and Time spent(very critical)
So one can increase the KPI for internal audit process to
As a programmer of the internal audit – the person responsible should focus on selection of auditor with respect to individual process taking into consideration, Competence, independence.
It is a common feature that the auditing and process knowledge competence might not be available within a small organization – Here creativity and resourcefulness of the program manager is the key constraint more than the financial constraint. Internal audit process is easily outsourced; however it should not be done with a compromise on auditor’s process and auditing competence.
Eurotech Training division provides open house and In-house courses for internal auditor for ISO 9001:2015 which focuses on developing checklist and giving a live experience of auditing with the developed checklist in their own factory/workshop.

Every time we think about exams it gives us goosebumps. But to achieve anything what we require utmost is investment of two things: good amount of time and commitment towards achievement of the goal. Basically the test is divided into three significant sections.
Before commencing any preparation, it is important that we take a practice test and see where do we stand in terms of subject knowledge. Depending on the score you achieve during your practice test, one can design a routine to take down the preparation.
Part A consists of the basic Welding knowledge, comprising of 150 questions According to the QC1 the CWI Part A exam contains a minimum of 150 questions that must be answered within a two hour period.
Part B tests a range of inspection topics, including welding examination and non-destructive testing. This part contains at least 46 questions that must be finished in two hours. For Part B you’ll be provided with visual inspection tools, plastic replicas of welds and a sample codebook.
Part C just makes an analysis that what is the ability of the exam giver to locate and understand information in a code book. Part C of the CWI exam contains a minimum of 46 questions. All parts of the exam require you to get at least 72% of the questions correct.
Coming back to the preparation for Part A and B you are approximately required to study and understand 130 pages in depth which means giving good 20-46 hours, as preparing the welding symbols alone takes 13 -26 hours
And finally preparing for the complete course it takes 35 – 40 weeks concluding to be 10-12 hours of study in a week’s time.
So if you are planning to take up CWI exam, good luck to start up with a new career.
