Executive Summary
I would like to thank all the audit participants for their assistance and co-operation which enabled the
audit to run smoothly and to schedule.
Assessment objective, scope and criteria
The objective of the assessment was to conduct a surveillance assessment and look for positive
evidence to verify that elements of the scope of certification and the requirements of the management
standard are effectively addressed by the organization's management system; that the system is
demonstrating the ability to support the achievement of statutory, regulatory and contractual
requirements and the organization's specified objectives as applicable with regard to the scope of the
management standard; to confirm the ongoing achievement and applicability of the forward strategic
plan and where applicable to identify potential areas for improvement of the management system.
The scope of the assessment is the documented management system with relation to the requirements
of ISO 9001:2015 and the defined assessment plan provided in terms of locations and areas of the
system and organization to be assessed.

NCR Summary
There have been no NCRs raised.
Definitions:
Nonconformity
Non-fulfilment of a requirement.
Major nonconformity
Nonconformity that affects the capability of the management system to achieve the intended results.
Nonconformities could be classified as major in the following circumstances:
- If there is a significant doubt that effective process control is in place, or that products or services will meet specified requirements;
- A number of minor nonconformities associated with the same requirement or issue could demonstrate a systemic failure and thus
constitute a major nonconformity.
Minor nonconformity
Nonconformity that does not affect the capability of the management system to achieve the intended results.
Opportunity for improvement
It is a statement of fact made by an assessor during an assessment, and substantiated by objective evidence, referring to a weakness or
potential deficiency in a management system which if not improved may lead to nonconformity in the future. We may provide generic
information about industrial best practices but no specific solution shall be provided as a part of an opportunity for improvement.
Observation
It is ONLY applicable for those schemes which prohibit the certification body to issue an opportunity for improvement.
It is a statement of fact made by the assessor referring to a weakness or potential deficiency in a management system which, if not
improved, may lead to a nonconformity in the future.

1411576N1 Management of the Quality System 6.2.1
Scope FM 663493
Category Minor
Details: Quality objectives are vague and not achievable.
Objective
evidence:
In L&L/OBJ/FIN Financial Rev 00 dated 01 September 2016 objective 4 states
"the intent to achieve 100% debtors income"
When reviewing Debtor statements for June 2017 to October 2016 it was found
that for June and September 2016 this was not achieved.
As L&L has no control over debtor payments this objective is not achievable.
L&L/OBJ/WSIE Electrical and Instrumentation Rev 00 dated 01 September 2016
defined a very narrow window for nonconforming products, that if 1 unit in a 100
units did not conform they would not reach the objective.
Cause Review 01 departmental objectives were done hastily and not property evaluated
for effectiveness as Per Risk register L&L/REG/003. The objectives that could
have changed during the course of the 2015-2016 year were not reviewed for
2017, as a whole to see if it was in fact contributing to delivering data to measure
and achieve objectives. The objectives were previously not measured in detail and
therefore did not seem necessary to change them.
Correction /
containment
Review of Objectives.
Corrective
action
Proper planning of objectives to be done. New or revised objectives to be created,
distributed, communicated and measured for pre-emptive effectiveness. Planning
is being co ducted through the following planned document: Planning for the
revision of L&L Consulting Services (Ply) Ltd. Departmental Objectives NCR
NO:1411576N1- Scope FM 663493. Due to December working time constraints
the corrective action will only be completed in the first week of January 2017.
First meeting on the planning of objectives have been completed and the
continuous planning will commence 09/0112017.
The following objectives were updated:
- L&L/OBJ/FINANCE REV 01
- L&L/OBL/PC REV 00
- L&L/OBL/PO REV 02
- L&L/OBJ/WS REV 01
- L&L/OBJ/ASSEMBLY REV 02

1411576N2 Sales, Procurement and Orders 8.5.1
Scope FM 663493
Category Minor
Details: All fields in the Procurement Tracking Sheet are not completed.
Objective
evidence:
While scrutinising the Glencore Purchase Order pack - PO No 4501444947 dated
24 October 2014 All fields in the Procurement Tracking Sheet were not completed
making it difficult to see the status of goods ordered and delivered.
When looking at other work/order packs the same was found.
Cause The procurement tracking sheet (filled in by hand) is not part of the main
procurement process and aids as a tracking sheet for production meetings. The
form has been kept as a necessary. The Root cause for the form not being filled
in is due to a procurement process that is not as streamlined. Too many little
processes increases the risk for smaller tasks leading to bigger tasks not being
conformed to.
Correction /
containment
Planning of the streamlining and scrutinizing of the procurement process will be
conducted as part of the process audits scheduled for the first quarter of 2017,as
per audit schedule L&L/REG/008.
Corrective
action
The proposed finalization of the streamlining of the procurement process to be
completed by 13/01/2017. Any changes made to the process will be captured in
the revised procedures: L&L/QP/16 and L&L/QP/17 and will be revved up. The
change will be supportive of the root cause ensuring that there is enough time to
fill in the procurement tracking sheets if they are still required.
Procurement tracking sheet checked for completeness.

Expected outcomes for accredited certification
What accredited certification to ISO 9001 means
ISO 9001:2015 specifies requirements for a quality management system when an organization: needs to
demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable
statutory and regulatory requirements; and aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective
application of the system, including processes for improvement of the system and the assurance of
conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
What accredited certification to ISO 9001 does not mean
1) It is important to recognize that ISO 9001 defines the requirements for an organization’s quality
management system, not for its products and services. Accredited certification to ISO 9001 should
provide confidence in the organization’s ability to “consistently provide product that meets customer and
applicable statutory and regulatory requirements”. It does not necessarily ensure that the organization
will always achieve 100% product conformity, though this should of course be a permanent goal.
2) ISO 9001 accredited certification does not imply that the organization is providing a superior Product
or service, or that the product or service itself is certified as meeting the requirements of an ISO (or any
other) standard or specification.
