Registrar and customer auditors test competence by picking a person at work and following the evidence. These are the questions we hear most, and where the kit keeps each answer.
| The auditor asks | Where the answer is |
|---|---|
| How did you decide this person is competent to do this job? | The matrix level and the assessment behind it; the qualification record for tasks with authority (G01, G02) |
| What competence does this job require? | The Skills tab: the skill, its source, how competence is shown (G01) |
| Who else can do this on this shift? | The Coverage tab, by shift (G01) |
| Show me this inspector's authority to accept product, and that it is current | The authorization register: scope, requalification, vision, last performed; the stamp log (G02) |
| How do you evaluate whether training was effective? | The evaluation register and records (G04) |
| This corrective action says 'retrained'. How do you know it worked? | The retraining record: the gate, the link to the action that changed the job, the follow-up checks (G03) |
| Is this person aware of the quality policy, their contribution to product safety, and what to do when something is wrong? | The briefing record and the follow-up check; and the person's own answer at the machine (G05) |
| How did you train people on the revised work instruction? | The training plan line against the revision, and the evaluation (G01, G04) |
