Remote location - QMS documentation - TS 16949:2002

[s_halunde]

Hi, All

We are TS 16949:2002 MNC co. Manufacturing Autimotive parts. We have three units - One - Corporate Office & Two - Remote locations (Value adding activities)

1) We have been certified for C.O already. And Quality Manual & Process Manual is prepared for C.O. Now for remote locations we are preparing QMS documentation & MR of C.O. will be acting as Corporate MR for all units.

2) How to do numbering to procedures for remote units?

3) How to show interaction of these processes in corporate Manual?

4) Should we prepare one PM for all units or Separate PM for separate unit.

Give your valuable suggestions asap

Regards

Congratualtions on the first part of TS 16949!

2) Number your procedures any way you please, any way that makes sene to you and the support sites. Better to make a cross reference of your system numbering to TS requirements than to confuse everyone by adopting TS numbering.

I am leaning to using no numbers, just descriptive titles "Sales Process for Remote Site 1" says it all, no need for an obscure number like 4.6.2.2.a

3) Could you not jsut include your remote site processes in your corporate process map.

4) Are your sites connected by computer. Can you set things up so all sites access one server or intranet? I would lean towards one system, much easier to maintain and update.

Good luck!
