    Opportunity for Improvement a situation/condition of the QMS that may be weak, cumbersome, redundant, overly
    complex, or in some other manner, may, in the opinion of the auditor, offer an opportunity for an organization to
    improve its current status.
    Minor Non-conformance is a non-conformity that, based on the judgment of the auditor, is not likely to result in the
    failure of the QMS or reduce its ability to assure a controlled process.
    Major Non-conformance the absence, omission or total breakdown of a system to meet a specified requirement.
    A number of minor non-conformities against one requirement can represent a total breakdown of the system and thus
    be considered a major non-conformity.
    Preventive action is taken when we anticipate a potential problem and take action to eliminate the possible causes to
    prevent the occurrence a non-conformance.
    Corrective action is taken upon detection of a non-conformance to prevent it from happening again; we act to
    prevent a repeat of a detected non-conformance.
