IMDS Multiple parts

[ppdave007]

I would like to combine multiple customer part numbers in one IMDS. there is no change in material other than length and weight.
can I create one master IMDS for the product and send it to the customer?

Sounds like a reasonable request, suggest you check and search the IMDS user manual attached...hope this helps - Optomist1

the system cannot allow for a "family" of PN's

each PN requires a separate ID

Why I cannot find the IMDS in the MDS system for Multi-sourced components using the internal material or IMDS id?
Thank you.

 

[IMDSDATA]

the IMDS is not designed to track or provide traceability for materials or parts

that level of detail is found in your PPAP

I suggest creating the IMDS with the material spec most commonly used for the component

the purpose of the IMDS is to assist in implementing the End of Life Vehicle directive

a change in CAS's on one subcomponent would have little impact when the vehicle is dismantled / recycled

A new customer part number requires a new MDS

its always best to ask the customer

sometimes customers incorporate a Rev number into the part number
