At recent 3rd-party audit, an auditor said that we had to have Annex 1.1 matrix form (page 55 of Automotive Certification Scheme for ISO/TS 16949, Rules for Achieving and Maintaining IATF Recognition, Fourth Edition) turned in prior to the audit. It wasn't there, but we had our processes laid out on our flow chart showing each processes interacting with other processes, so it was not that we did not identify our processes, but the auditor said that because Annex 1.1 form was missing, the audit could not be continued, and wrote up a major NC.
Nowhere on Automotive Certification Scheme for ISO/TS 16949, Rules for Achieving and Maintaining IATF Recognition, Fourth Edition mandates this Annex 1.1 filled out by client, but it only says that the auditor must make sure that all processes must be audited and reported per Annex 1.1 form.
While I accept the fact that I did not turn in the form prior to the audit, I do not understand why this could have been a major NC, since we have identified our processes (not on the matrix sheet, but in a different format), and that it was not a total absence from our quality system. Because all the processes have been identified, I do not believe this is a complete system failure and why this can be a major NC?
Does anyone have any idea?
