In this episode of Lead the Standard with Auditor Training Online, I explore why having 15 nonconformances before an audit is actually a win. Often perceived as a negative, nonconformances are a powerful tool for continual improvement and transparency. I discuss how logging these issues doesn't indicate failure but showcases a well-functioning system. Inspired by a conversation with a client concerned about nonconformances, I explain why auditors prefer to see them as they reflect a commitment to quality and improvement. I also introduce a non-conformance workflow model designed to help organizations identify, record, and address these issues effectively. Join me as I break down the steps to transform nonconformances into opportunities for growth, ensuring your management system is robust and credible.
