In this podcast episode, we delve into the most common audit findings from a sample of audit reports gathered from the past couple of years. We focus on ISO 9001 standard clauses, discussing why these are frequent findings and their impact on the business. This week we dive into the most common audit findings from our sample, discussing how they relate to specific clauses within the ISO 9001 standard. These findings include inadequate documentation, lack of employee training, and non-conformance with processes and procedures. We then explore why these findings are so common and provide tips on how businesses can avoid them. For example, we discuss the importance of having clear and concise documentation, the need for regular employee training, and the benefits of conducting internal audits. Throughout the episode, we emphasize the importance of addressing audit findings promptly and effectively to ensure continued compliance with ISO 9001 and to drive business success. We also highlight the benefits of leveraging technology and automation to streamline processes, reduce errors, and improve overall efficiency. We hope this episode serves as a valuable resource for businesses looking to improve their QMS and ensure compliance with ISO 9001. We provide insights into the most common audit findings and offer practical tips on how to avoid them, ultimately helping businesses achieve their quality objectives and drive long-term success. #QualityMatters podcast is sponsored by Texas Quality Assurance Host: Darci Chambers – “The Boss Lady” https://www.linkedin.com/in/darci-chambers-b2196683/ Co-Host Kyle Chambers – CEO Texas Quality Assurance https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-chambers-tqa/ Learn more about Texas Quality Assurance, #QualityMatters and save time and energy for what matters most online! #QualityMatters home http://qmcast.com/ Texas Quality Assurance http://texasqualityassurance.com/ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/texas-quality-assurance/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TexasQualityAssurance/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/texasqualityassuance/ Twitter https://twitter.com/TexasQualA @TexasQualA Subscribe to the podcast iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/qualitymatters/id1447300405 Google/Android - http://subscribeonandroid.com/qmcast.com/feed/podcast/ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4rfI0Y7oySM1zkSR57Pwcr TuneIn - https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/qualitymatters

What is "Continual" Improvement anyways...??? ISO 9001 and other Annex SL standards have the requirement for Continual Improvement, and this clause is separated from the equally confusing and ambiguous Corrective Actions clause (10.2). 10.3 Continual improvement The organization shall continually improve the suitability, adequacy and effectiveness of the quality management system. The organization shall consider the results of analysis and evaluation, and the outputs from management review, to determine if there are needs or opportunities that shall be addressed as part of continual improvement. hashtag#QualityMatters podcast is streaming on: iTunes | Spotify | Google | Audible | Stitcher | TuneIn Learn more about hashtag#QualityMatters & Texas Quality Assurance : LinkedIn | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Rumble www.qmcast.com | Texas Quality Assurance https://texasqa.com/

Ton's of buzz words from the "Great Resignation" to "Gig Economy" float around, but we all have heard how hard it is to find and keep good employees. Recently we conducted a survey with OGGN & BIC Alliance to understand the top issues businesses consider worthy of contingency plans. More than hurricanes and other natural disasters or even cyber security was workplace instability. It is harder than ever to keep and attract good talent. What's the cause? And what's the solution? We might not have all the answers yet, but one thing is for sure, the new normal is not hear yet and may not be like anything we're expecting. At the end of the day, people are people and our old ways of may not work as well in our changing world. Good news is, you can improve and make the most of it. https://www.youtube.com/c/CoachEUrban www.coacheurban.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinurban QualityMatters podcast is streaming on: www.qmcast.com iTunes | Spotify | Google | Audible | Stitcher | TuneIn Learn more about #QualityMatters & Texas Quality Assurance : LinkedIn | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Rumble exas Quality Assurance https://texasqa.com

We’re back! We apologize for the pause in new episodes for #QualityMatters, but we’re back! Today we’re diving into a topic that Kyle is very passionate about, the role of small business in Oil & Gas here in America. The simple fact is, the super majors like Chevron and Exon do not play near the role in Oil & Gas extraction for the average American as small business does. Drilling Oil and Gas Wells Size of Firms by Number of Employees Percent of Total Employer Firms in the Drilling Oil and Gas Wells Sector Less than 10 70.5% Less than 20 80.5% Less than 100 93.4% Less than 500 97.4% Support Activities for Oil and Gas Operations Size of Firms by Number of Employees Percent of Total Employer Firms in the Support Activities for Oil and Gas Operations Sector Less than 10 71.4% Less than 20 82.9% Less than 100 95.4% Less than 500 98.4% The role of newly evolving ESG “Environmental – Social – Governance” requirements is placing additional requirements on small business. But this is not all bad news. The small businesses and teams that are prepared to implement, and quickly and more efficiently than the larger or otherwise slower counterparts are in a great position to dominate their space and stay competitive. https://sbecouncil.org/2020/04/17/reminder-during-the-covid-19-crisis-the-oil-and-natural-gas-industry-is-dominated-by-small-businesses/ Special thanks to our friend Mark LaCour of OGGN the “Oil & Gas Global Network” for joining us again today.
