Abstract: Can the process approach to auditing be applied to both quality management systems (QMS) and environmental management systems (EMS)? The process approach for QMS was ushered in with the 2000 revision of ISO 9001 and further refined with the 2002 revision of the automotive QMS standard, ISO/TS 16949. The automotive approach is generally thought to be an improvement over previous audit methods, but it can’t be effectively applied to EMS audits without modification because of differences in language, standards, and the systems themselves. The significant benefits of using the process approach to EMS audits can be obtained by using the inputs and outputs terminology when auditing.
