Maintenance Organizations Quality System Questionnaire associated to the International Quality Management System Standard EN 9110 (based on ISO 9001:2000) 1 Purpose The purpose of this standard is to present the questionnaire to be used during the “on site” quality system assessment of Organizations in order to ensure common practices for these assessments. This questionnaire is relative to EN 9110 standard (based on ISO 9001:2000). 2 Use of the questionnaire The use of this questionnaire is mandatory and will be a part of the Assessment Report. The questionnaire is based on the EN 9110 standard, section 1, which is relative to: − ISO 9001:2000 requirements
− Additional Aerospace specific requirements are shown in bold and italics. The audit is undertaken by review against the requirements of the questionnaire and the findings are recorded as appropriate by annotation of respective columns, ¾ Satisfactory (S)
¾ Not applicable (N/A) the reason shall be documented in the bottom of the page ¾ Not evaluated (N/E) ¾ Corrective Action Request (CAR) Major (Ma) or Minor (mi.) finding: The CAR number shall be referenced in the column “CAR number” The category Ma for Major CAR or mi for Minor CAR shall be included in this column also. Additional information on questionnaire Key Requirements: Some requirements are deemed to be very significant and are so identified by the presence of ‘P’ or ‘M’ against the specific section or question within the questionnaire, “P” direct link with product “M” direct link with Management
The extent of Key Requirement applicability is determined by the location of the ‘M’ or ‘P’. In the example below all of question 16 is considered as a key requirement. 16 Does the output from the management review include any decisions and actions related to : a) improvement of the effectiveness of the quality management system and its processes? b) improvement of product related to customer requirements? and c) resource needs? M

P
Guidance notes: Under Key requirements column certain questions will have a numeric reference that refers to additional guidance notes which are detailed within the ‘Guidance notes’ section located after the questions on each page. The guidance notes provide the Auditor with further insight on type of
objective evidence and/or review expectations etc. In the example below, note 1) refers the auditor to additional notes pertaining to question 51 part a). 51 Does the analysis of data provide information relating to : a) customer satisfaction (see 8.2.1) (1) ? b) conformity to product requirements (see 7.2.1)? c) characteristics and trends of processes and products including opportunities for preventive action? And d) organizations?
Guidance
Note 1) Give examples and check how the organization measures the effectiveness. References: When a reference (e.g. 4.1) is added to a question, it is linked to the appropriate chapter (e.g. 4.1) of EN 9110 standard. Objective evidence assessed / Observations / Comments / N/A explanation Record the objective evidence reviewed during the assessment or reason for not applicable. Nonconformities: Major : The absence of, or total breakdown of a management element specified in the EN 9110 standard or any nonconformities where the effect is judged to be detrimental to the integrity of the product or service.
Minor : A single system failure or lapse in conformance with a procedure relating to the EN 9110 standard. NOTE
A number of minor nonconformities against one requirement can represent a total breakdown of the system and this can be considered as a major nonconformity 3 Use of the Assessment Scoring chart Following completion of the Quality System Questionnaire the Assessment Scoring chart can now be completed. The findings of each section and sub-section of the completed Quality System Questionnaire are reviewed and the Assessment Scoring sheet completed as follows. ¾ If, multiple findings (i.e. greater than 1) with Major (Ma) Corrective Action Request (CAR) or minor (mi) CAR on Key requirement in a section, e.g. 4.1 General Requirements then score in Major CAR or minor CAR on Key Requirement (i.e. any questions with ‘M’ or ‘P’ indicator) “Multiple findings” column (result = 0), or ¾ If, single finding with Major (Ma) CAR or minor (mi) CAR on key requirements in a section, e.g. 4.1 General Requirements then score in Major CAR or minor CAR on Key Requirement “Single finding” column (result = 10), or

Minor (mi) CAR in a section, e.g. 4.1 General Requirements then score in Minor CAR on non Key requirement “Single findings” column (result = 40), or ¾ If, no CAR in a section, e.g. 4.1 General Requirements then score in “NO CAR” column (result = 50) ¾ When a single finding occurred on several questions affecting the same section of the scoring table( e.g. 4.2 & 4.3 or 5.1-5.2-5.3), then score as “multiple findings” Further notes on scoring The above review criteria should be considered sequentially. Maximum audit total can be, 1 000, where audit review comprises whole Quality System Questionnaire
or, 880, where audit review comprises Quality System Questionnaire less Design and Development. In this case, the final score = 880100TOTAL× If a complete section line of the score sheet has not been assessed (N/A or N/E) the score will be calculated as follow: Score = score possible maximum of Sum100TOTAL× The higher the score the greater the level of compliance acknowledged by the audit activity.
