Mireaux now offering Remote Auditing for Web QMS and Non-Web QMS users

Starting April 1^st 2020, Mireaux Management Solutions will be offering Remote Auditing to accommodate Clients with sensitive timelines as well as those who do not want to push their audits too far out due to current local and in-country restrictions.  Mireaux has started this new type of service in response to the Covid-19 state of the world, however these services will be added permanently to our offerings.

Mireaux’s Remote Auditing services occur when personnel interviews and/or review of management system documentation and records does not happen on-site at the Client’s facility but rather is conducted remotely via Video Conference tools such as Zoom.

Remote Auditing can be delivered three ways:

1. Full Remote Auditing
2. Partial Remote Auditing
3. Web QMS Auditing

Here are a few reasons Remote Auditing may be worth considering in your organization:

• Travel expenses cost savings by eliminating all travel-related expenses, such as airfare, car rental, lodging, and meals.
• Travel time reduction by eliminating the flying or driving time, as well as the time before and after flying which can be quite long in some airports.
• Business and Management System Continuity while being able to adhere to Compliance Obligations.
• Mitigate risks associated with local or global events, such as terrorism, epidemics, etc.

Known for its strong commitment to the ISO and API standards, Mireaux requires its Auditors to go through extensive training to ensure consistency and top performance. And this level of excellence will be maintained during Remote Auditing.

To be successful however, Remote Auditing, demand that both parties – Auditors and Auditees –have a great level of engagement. Here are some simple guidelines that Mireaux recommends to ensure the success of Remote Auditing:

1. Direct access to the Organization’s Web QMS. For organizations who do not have Web QMS, this entails access to the software or files where the management system is kept, through VPN, or by direct login to the network.
2. Access to computer with audio and video capabilities by all interviewees.
3. Early identification of persons who will be audited, with a minimum of 2-3 persons per process. Mireaux will send e-mail invitations to these individuals with specific interview time slots in accordance with the Audit Agenda.
