I've got a question. I.E. 7.2.2. Review of requirements related to the product and 7.2.2.2 Organization manufacturing feasibility. 7.2.2 states that "the organization SHALL review the requirements"...and..."Ttis review SHALL be conducted prior to the organizations' commitment to supply a product to the customer". Futhermore, 7.2.2.2 states the "organization SHALL investigate, confirm and document the manufacturing feasibility of the proposed products in the contract review process...".
We currently complete a feasibility form for EVERY job we quote. We are awarded about 10% of those quoted jobs. Is it required to complete a feasibility form for every job or as defined "prior to the organization's commitment to supply a product to the customer". One side of me says we should perform a feasibility on every job quoted but unfortunately it is a lot of work and it typically gets "rubber stamped" through the process. The other side of me says that once we have been awarded a contract and BEFORE we commit to supply it (e.g. submission of tender, acceptance of contracts of orders.....) then we should complete a thorough feasibility form that will truly add value to the process.
What are your companies doing and what do the auditors say about it?
Thanks again in advance for all of your help....
