How should changes to a QMS unrelated to the product be tracked under MDR?

Anonymous Quality Management Published July 06, 2025
During a recent MDR audit, a minor non-conformity was issued because changes to our quality management system (QMS) that are not related to the product (such as changes in company leadership or new locations) are not tracked systematically. Changes to the product itself are tracked properly.
Is it necessary to have a separate SOP for tracking these general organizational changes, or is it sufficient to include them in the document control SOP? How have others handled this requirement?

Did the auditor give a specific requirement reference for this non-conformity?
