Document assessment of Company K
(Feb.3w,2005)

Company K with about fifty people is an auto parts maker. It makes parts based on customersf drawings. So it has no product design activities.
At the start of the document assessment, the management of representative requested the assessor to do assessment of conformity, not value-added assessment. The assessor bewildered by the request. He was seemed to not have right understanding of difference between assessment of conformity and value-added assessment.
Generally such an assessor is a lazy ISO9001 student, due to lack of assessment tension. So the document assessment was done with low level as the table shown below.
