Good Morning! Our product audit was also based on the control plan and any other required inspection and measurements that would confirm that our product meets customer requirements. Having said that, our registrar issued us a nonconformance for conducting "Inadequate" product audits. He based this rational on ISO/TS 16949:2002 (8.2.2.3) THe organization shall audit products......to verify conformity to ALL specified requirements..Bla..Bla..Bla.Valeri said:For a product audit, we walk the control plan. My preference is to walk it backwards starting with a couple of containers on the shipping dock and tracing through the process back to incoming material used in production.
Anyway, what he said was that the control plan did not identify ALL the product specifications as called out on the print, contract, PPAP requirements etc. In his opinion only a "Re- PPAP" of the product would confirm ALL requirements had been met (or not met). We have developed a "Product Audit" form for each of our 3 OEM customers. I will attach them. However I don't suggest this is what is required. I'm my UN-professional opinion, this way over kill and not what was intended. Please let me know if there are some other interpritations floating around.
Thank you:
Respectfully:
