Quality Manual in IATF 16949
My question is, Do I need to add to my Quality manual the Context of the Organization clause in order to conform with the New IATF standard?? I'm a little confused about this. Because the IATF 16949 is based off the ISO 9001:2015 standard and with the New ISO standard you're not required to have a Quality Manual, but with the IATF 16949 standard you do!!! Please help me!!!! Thank you -
The transition and defining the scope
We are the ISO/TS certified remote location 5 production sites. We have added one more design center in another location. We decided to go with a single certification (combined for both locations) for ISO 9001 and IATF 16949. -
Who should implement IATF 16949
I wonder how the IATF standard can affect suppliers to the automotive industry if: -
How much time is needed before IATF 16949 certification
Is it up to the certifying body to decided how long you must operate under IATF 16949 prior to initial certification? If so what is the typical / recommended time to collect data to show compliance? -
Efficiency and effectiveness of the processes
Hi, we just completed out IATF audit with BVC. One of the minor NC's issued was for not having a measure of effectiveness and efficiency for everything we had defined in our quality policy manual as a "process". From our TS system we had many "processes maps" that formulated the basis of the audit plan. Our lead auditor stated that for each "process we had defined" that we needed a "measure of effectiveness and efficiency" in accordance with 9.3.2.1 Mgt. Review. As a group we are having a difficult time in make a clear separation between "process" and "procedure". By count there are 21 places in the standard that state the "organization shall have a documented process", but if we define all 21 as processes that define our business, do we need all eight measures in 4.4.1? Can we define the processes of our operation and those are what we review in management review? I have searched a variety of forums but have not been able to see any clear direction of how to proceed. We are stuck on the clear line between process and procedure and how to separate. Your thoughts and advice would be appreciated!
