Question 1 of 30
Global Innovations, a leading manufacturer of high-precision electronic components, is experiencing inconsistent product quality. An internal audit reveals that the primary cause is the variability in the quality of raw materials sourced from multiple suppliers. The audit team notes that while each supplier claims to meet the required specifications, the actual quality of materials received varies significantly, leading to defects in the final product. The company\'s Quality Manager, Anya Sharma, is tasked with addressing this issue to ensure compliance with ISO 9001:2015. Considering the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 regarding externally provided processes, products, and services, which of the following actions should Anya prioritize to effectively mitigate the risk of inconsistent raw material quality and maintain product conformity?
Establish criteria for evaluation, selection, monitoring performance, and re-evaluation of external providers to ensure conformity of externally provided processes, products, and services to the organization's quality management system requirements.
Negotiate lower prices with existing suppliers to compensate for the cost of defects caused by variable material quality, while maintaining the current sourcing arrangements.
Implement a more rigorous internal inspection process for finished goods to catch defects before they reach customers, without addressing the root cause of the material variability.
Focus solely on improving internal manufacturing processes, assuming that the variability in raw materials is an inherent and uncontrollable factor.
