I worked as a quality intern and participated in a BSI audit over the summer. The first thing we went through were gaps in our current documents and work instructions. If we found any gaps we would issue a CAPA to show the auditors we are working on a solution to the problem. We than do a walk through to each station. We make sure there are no uncontrolled documents laying around and all the gages and equipment are calibrated. We also make sure each operator or engineer is familiar with the procedures/ work instructions as well as the quality policy. Our violations usually come from not properly recording information. When you prepare for any audit, you need to put yourself in the auditor’s shoes. The auditor will always go through most of the work instructions and procedures and then to the floor.
