What is the actual requirements for controlling external Providers? We have a customer that for one part number, which will probably never be made again, the customer want us to use supplier X. To the best of our knowledge, this will be the only time we use this vendor.
Per the standard, we have to add this vendor to the approved supplier list with monitoring and measurement controls the same as our standard vendors.
I was thinking we may be able to use this vendor once with a document from our customer that states to use "vendor x" using 8.4.1.1b and give the scope for 'this part once only', does this seem reasonable? After the parts are processed and returned to us, the vendor would then be removed from our AVL.
