KOMET Industrial Co., Ltd. operates in the furniture manufacturing industry, producing products such as beds, cabinets, tables, and chairs.

THE ROLE OF ISO 9001:2015 SURVEILLANCE AUDITS

After obtaining ISO 9001:2015 certification, organizations are required to continually maintain and improve their quality management systems through periodic surveillance activities. These audits confirm that established processes continue to align with actual operations and ensure that the system is effectively implemented in daily activities rather than existing only in documentation.

For furniture manufacturers such as KOMET, surveillance audits are essential for evaluating production stability, the effectiveness of input and output quality control, and the implementation of corrective and improvement actions when issues arise during operations.

KEY FOCUS OF THE SURVEILLANCE AUDIT PROGRAM

During the audit, the ARES Vietnam expert team focused on reviewing the maintenance and implementation of the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system. Key audit areas included:

• Compliance with ISO 9001:2015 requirements in manufacturing activities.
• Effectiveness of control measures at critical stages, from incoming materials to finished products.
• Management of records and data, as well as information traceability for monitoring, inspection, and evaluation purposes.
• Identification and handling of operational issues, including the implementation of corrective actions when necessary.
• The organization’s ability to maintain continual improvement and enhance the effectiveness of the quality management system.

Through document reviews, on-site assessments, and discussions with relevant departments, the audit team confirmed that KOMET Industrial Co., Ltd.’s quality management system is being maintained appropriately. In addition, ARES Vietnam provided several recommendations to support the company in further reviewing, improving, and enhancing system performance in the next stage.
