Like many people before me, it seems, I have become involved with making sure we meet the requirements of VDA 6.3 et al.
I understand how 6.3 fits into VDA Part 6: 6.3 describes how to conduct process audits; Part 6 is all about audits. I understand how VDA Part 6 fits into the general VDA Part X architecture: Part 6 is all about audits; other parts describe other requirements, which include control of documents / records, PPAP, etc. I get that. (Though please correct me if I'm wrong.)
These standards all describe _parts_ of a quality management system, but I don't see any document, like TS 16949, that actually defines _all_ the requirements of the management system.
Am I misreading? Or have I not read enough? Is the full VDA QMS defined somewhere--and if so, where--or is it just the sum of its parts?
Thanks.
