What is the status of the applicability of requirements of entire section of 7.4 as per TS16949:2002 in the following situation ?:
The Customer organisation is a TS16949:2002 registered and supplier organisation is ISO 9001:2000
1. Supplier Organisation receives materials from Customer for processing.
2. For some reason, Customer also provides essential tools like Grinding wheels / inserts / thread rolls required for production.
3. The Organistaion's procurments activities are limited to some consumables like Coolant / Hydraulic oil / Rust preventive oil / cotton waste / standard hand-tools / machinery spares for maintenance.
Thanks

Can you please explain more?

From what you have written it sounds like the supplier is ISO9001:2000. They have procurement activities of materials that are key to their operations. They have the obligation to conform to all of 7.4 under ISO9001. In addition, it sounds as if there is customer owned tooling in the instance you described. There would be some obligation of the supplier to clearly mark and identify that customer owned tooling and if there were any repair, breakage, etc of that equipment, it would need to be defined in contract review how the customer wanted the supplier to handle those maintenance issues. Contract review would also need to define life expectancy of that equipment since the tooling is going to wear over time and at some point need to be replaced. Who bears this replacement cost? Sometimes this is substantial cost and the supplier has not gotten this clarified in the contract so then has to bear the cost of that replacement in order to continue supplying product to the customer long term.

So I guess the long and short of it is, all of 7.4 under ISO9001 applies to the supplier. Supplier should also look at comprehensive contract review where customer is supplying tooling.

Hope this helps.

No. I am afraid the question has not been understood.

The supplier organisation's procurement activities are limited to purchase of some spares and consumables.

All other materials and tools required are provided by the Customer. These receipts are properly handled through a Process - Control of Customer Supplied Property" and also suported with Contract review at appropriate stage.

My Question is on the limited procurement activities Vs. Sec 7.4 (Purchase) ???
