Content: The Staff Engineer’s role is to review audit reports, work with Auditees to close out any non-conformances identified during the audit and review process, and act as supporting staff to their assigned Task Group(s) during technical and procedural discussions. The Staff Engineer offers a perspective unaffected by commercial or other influences, with a consistent approach to audit reviews. The Staff Engineer also provides one focal point during the audit review process for the Supplier and ensures that responses are sufficient and will be understood by technical representatives of the Task Group who provide the final review.

MedAccred

Content: MedAccred is a medical device industry-led audit and accreditation program for critical manufacturing processes. Auditors with extensive critical manufacturing process experience and expertise conduct rigorous process audits across the complex global supply chain.

MedAccred process audits are very different from Quality Systems audits, but the combination of the two audits result in a significant improvement in final product quality and repeatability of the process. This fresh approach to optimizing quality in critical manufacturing processes will result in improving final product quality and most importantly patient safety.

Content: The OASIS database is a product of the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG). OASIS houses Supplier and audit assessment data for all companies who hold an accredited certification in any of the AQMS series of Standards (i.e. – 9100, 9110 and 9120). Publication in the OASIS database is a requirement of the aerospace standards. As a certified aerospace Supplier, you are charged an initial $500 fee to be registered in OASIS. This registration typically runs for three years. Subsequently, you are charged $375 to maintain your certification at your re-assessment. PRI Registrar charges the appropriate amount as a pass-through cost to you. In other words, we are billed by OASIS and we pass that charge on to you without any type of mark-up.

Content: There are many factors to consider so it is important to understand that not all certification bodies are the same.

Selecting a certification body accredited by a certifying body such as ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), is a good first step.

Reputation is another key factor when deciding on a certification body.

The certification body selected should have prior experience in your industry and previously certified hundreds or even thousands of customers.

The geographic proximity and size of an organization is another deciding factor.

The costs associated with obtaining and maintaining your management system can add up over time, so it is important to ask questions and understand all the associated costs.
