Ha, yeah, I'd imagine there's good growth potential for that role. The ZPIC audit system is out of control.

Thanks. I'm waiting to hear back on details about benefits before making a final decision, but I know which way I'm leaning.

I'd work clever engineering tricks for @Joe Perez if he could swing a 6 figure salary for me and moving expenses to the outskirts of the best hotdogs in the nation.

Why isn't this an ISO approved document?

I'm wondering why Step 6 does not specify which tap of the Culligan water dispenser is to be used, and does not call out the procedure for replacing the bottle on the Culligan dispenser if it is empty. The document also fails entirely to provide a specification or procurement procedure for the coffee itself. They should read up on US Army Quartermaster Spec No. C 003 00.

If it isn't an issue when warm, it may be the compounding of acceleration enrichments with warm up enrichments and temperature compensation. If you've got a wideband gauge, check if you're going super rich when accelerating in the cold.

Not going rich when cold. Best description I can give of the feeling is belt drag not allowing the crank to rotate freely. Or possibly a sticky caliper causing drag. Example like this morning, accelerate up to 2.6k rpms *dragdrag* .. up to 3k rpms *drraaaggg* hovering at 3k rpms... *release* and accel up to 3.5k rpms and then I feel vtcs open

what do you mean? Like getting the ground coffee from the closet should there be none in the fridge or procurement procedure for actually making the cup of coffee?

There should be an instruction as to where to get the coffee grounds from (similar to the instruction on where to get the water from), as well as references to separate procedures to be followed for replenishing the water supply and the coffee supply, with approved-vendor lists and product specs.

If you *really* want ISO, you should also have a vendor account established with a coffee validation lab, such as SAMPLE SUBMISSION - Coffee Lab International or Lab Services | Coffee Analysts (Yes, these folks are literally the equivalent of Blackstone Labs, but for coffee.)

Oh nvm I know what you mean. Had to look at it twice.

Coffee, water, filters, ect. Are automatically replenished. We have people who come in weekly and scan barcodes for things that are getting low.

You send them a sample of the used coffee that you drain out on a regular basis and they tell you if you could have left it in for longer, and how the wear looks?

Does someone have a template for this? Because I really need to make one of these for our office.

If you have enough time to make it, you have enough time to create a template. It's not very complicated.

Also...

ISO doesn't require certified testing of materials. It only requires that you document procedures and follow them in a manner that shows you're improving quality to your customers.

Plus this procedure should simply refer to the procedures that are missing. Or at least to the training manuals for these operations.

Ugh, this company is about to make the decision for me with their crappy health insurance. I currently pay $444 a month for myself plus spouse and one dependent. The plan at the new company would be $1225 a month.

I mean, I was already a little bummed about the possibility of moving from hourly with overtime to salary-exempt at the same base pay, as that would cut my actual take-home pay. But the healthcare plan rates would gut my paycheck.

Do they only have one plan? No HDP with an HSA, and then you max out HSA to cover the deductible?

ISO 9001 doesn't require that you actually do anything other than write down procedures. The observation I made at the time Harris Broadcast was undergoing certification about 10 years ago was that I could write a procedure for having a dog pinch a **** into a box, and I would then be able to ship ISO certified boxes of dog **** to my customers.

But any facility which actually cares about quality (and not just ISO branding) will have processes in place for calibration and validation, and those should be referenced in the documented procedure.

I'm self employed and have to buy my own coverage. For my family (spouse and one dependent) it is currently just over $700 a month for a bronze plan. Looks like next year is going to be substantially more. At this point it is tempting to manually set up a savings account and pay the penalty for not having insurance. The bronze coverage is so bad that if something awful did happen, we would still be screwed.
