A = Opportunity for Improvement

B = Minor Non-conformance

C = Major Non-conformance SQ = Supplementary Question

Conformance: Adherence with the requirements of the standard. No major or minor non-conformances found

Opportunity for Improvement (OFI):

A situation or condition of a management system that may be weak, cumbersome, redundant, overly complex, or in some other manner, may, in the opinion of the auditor, offer an opportunity for an organization to improve its current status.

OFIs do not require any action on the part of the organization; however, the organization should give them serious consideration in view of the auditor’s knowledge and exposure to similar systems.

An OFI may be an improvement to the management system or could prevent future problems.Minor Non-conformance: A non-conformity that, based on the judgment and experience of the auditor, is not likely to result in the failure of the

management system or reduce its ability to assure controlled processes or products.

It may be either:

A failure in some part of the supplier's management system relative to a specified requirement.

A single observed lapse in following one item of a company's management system.

Version 1

Major Non-conformance: The absence (omission, not addressed) or total breakdown (commission, failure, not implemented) of a system to meet a specified requirement.

A number of minor non-conformities against one requirement can represent a total breakdown of the system and thus be considered a major non-conformity.

Any non-compliance that would result in the probable shipment of a non-conforming product. Conditions that may result in the failure of or materially reduce the usability of the products or services for their intended purpose.

A non-compliance that, in the judgment and experience of the auditor, is likely to either to result in the failure of the management system or to materially reduce its ability to assure controlled processes and products.
