In Procedure 03_Quality Manual, Section 4.4, we do not understand the paragraph *in bold* below. There does not appear to be a form/appendix included with the package that addresses this. Can you please help us understand some typical documents or ways that companies use to capture this requirement?
Internal Audit
IATF 16949 - does terminology have to match from the processes to the internal audit schedule?
FMEA standards
I have noticed that there are two FMEA standards. SAEJ1739 and IEC60812.
Do you know why there are two standards and what is the difference between the two?
Training records
Not as familiar with IATF as some others, the question is on training records. Does a company have to keep training records in one central area? controlled? so not floating around a plant? or can have each training record with each process?
Scope of Certification
What are all the products to be added in the Scope of Certification?
If the product is is in under development stage (4th Phase in APQP) No PPAP approval got from the customer. Will it be possible to add in the Scope of Certification?
Customer-specific requirements
In which kind of document is better to describe Customer Specific Requirements? In a Process, Procedure or Work Instruction?
Mandatory documents
I have one more question. In the attached file I can see that some document are not mandatory for IATF certification. Does that mean that I have the possibility to exclude them totally from my scope when I’m implementing the IATF in m y business?
Difference between IATF 16949 and ISO 9001
What is the difference between IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001:2015?
Product safety
What should be the special approval of the PFMEA & Control Plan? Under the requirement of the IATF Standard 4.4.1.2 Product safety?
Calibration
Currently, I am working with an automotive company. Now I am working to improve the calibration method which each instrument need to be calibrated at least once a year. But through my reading in Japan the implement calibration based on the instrument reading itself. As long as the reading meets the specification. So my concern is there any clause or term from IATF that I can follow regarding these matters. Thank you.
