Question 1 of 30
Oceanic Seafoods, a seafood processing company, is committed to maintaining a robust quality management system (QMS) aligned with ISO 10005:2018. As part of their QMS, they conduct internal audits to assess the effectiveness of their processes and identify areas for improvement. During a recent internal audit, the audit team identified several non-conformities related to hygiene practices, temperature control, and record-keeping. The management team is now considering how to respond to these audit findings. Which of the following actions should Oceanic Seafoods prioritize to effectively address the non-conformities identified during the internal audit and ensure the continuous improvement of their QMS?
Develop and implement corrective action plans to address the root causes of the non-conformities, verify the effectiveness of the corrective actions, and update procedures and training programs as needed to prevent recurrence.
Dismiss the audit findings as minor deviations, focus on maintaining production levels to meet customer demand, and avoid implementing corrective actions to minimize disruptions to operations.
Blame individual employees for the non-conformities, implement disciplinary measures to deter future errors, and avoid making systemic changes to the QMS to maintain the status quo.
Outsource the responsibility for corrective actions to a third-party consultant, discontinue internal audits to avoid identifying further non-conformities, and focus on short-term cost savings rather than long-term quality improvements.
