  • Internal and External issues

    There is no mandatory requirement to retain records of internal and external issues determination. So, organizations are free to decide how to do it. For example, you may create a register for internal and external issues. In my case, I like to translate internal issues as positive or negative (strengths or weaknesses) and the external issues also as positive or negative (opportunities or threats). This way I record internal and external issues with a SWOT matrix. Please check how I do it in this free webinar on demand - - ISO 9001:2015 clause 4 - Context of the organization, interested parties, and scope - https://advisera.com/9001academy/webinar/iso-90012015-clause-4-context-of-the-organization-interested-parties-and-scope-free-webinar-on-demand/

  • Certification requirements for SME's - Automotive

    As I mentioned before, there is no clear link with the small business regarding the implementation of IATF or the supply of parts to the OEM customer.However, in order for new businesses to obtain an IATF certificate, there is a right called ‘’letter of conformance.’’  I share the details of this below from IATF Rules 5.

    5.14 Letter of conformance The purpose of the letter of conformance is to confirm that processes exist that satisfy the requirements of IATF 16949 and these "Rules" and where the client is not able to achieve IATF 16949 certification because of:

      a) a new site without twelve ( 12) months of internal or external performance data for the automotive production and/or service parts in the scope of certification

      b) an existing site that can demonstrate it is 

    5.14.4 Eligible for certificationOnce the client has twelve ( 12) months performance data for the new site or if the client on an active bid list receives a contract from the customer requiring IATF 16949 certification, the certification process shall proceed by the same certification body with an initial audit (stage 1 readiness review and stage 2) with a maximum reduction of 50% possible in audit days for the stage 2 audit (see section 5.2 and 5.4 g).The 50% reduction applies only to the initial audit and only if the initial audit starts before the expiration date of the letter of conformance. The reduction shall not be applied to the subsequent surveillance audit cycle.A member of the audit team that performed the initial audit for the letter of conformance should be assigned to participate in the initial audit and each surveillance audit of the three (3) year audit cycle.The stage 2 audit shall start before the expiration date of the letter of conformance. lf the timing is exceeded, the client shall start over with an initial certification audit (stage 1 readiness review and stage 2) and no reduction shall be applied.

     

  • Standard approach/Framework for meeting all Quality clauses

    APQP meetings should be held with team participation for both product design and development, as well as process design and development. 

    There is no standard application, it is made according to customer-specific requirements. My recommendation is to use AIAG's APQP and PPAP manuals which are Ford, GM, Chrysler and most of automotive customer project management requirements. 

    You can organize meetings according to the requests in the clauses 8.1-8.2-8.3 of the   IATF 16949: 2016 standard and the project management phases in these manuals.
