Hi Mark!
I am in the same boat you are. Going from QS TE to ISO. I have been posed with the task of moving everything over in 8 weeks.
So far, I agree with everyone saying to do a gap analysis.
From what I have seen.......
A lot of the TE supplement, doesn't have much of a place in ISO. However, if you are TE, I am sure that you feel the same way and want to keep as much of that intact as possible (i.e.
FMEA's, 20 hour runs, etc.). They are still a major part of our business as I am sure it is yours.
I have seen that we have most of the stuff already in place. The biggest change is: 1) Determining what you want to downsize, 2) Determine what you want to keep (despite it is not required in 9K2K, you may want to keep good business practices, it's just how the TE business works), 3) Customer Satisfaction - including Customer Perception is going have to go beyond what you are most likely doing now. 4) You already have 99.9% of the requirements met for the (6) documented procedures, just review w/ management if they are still effective 5) Management Responsibility plays a much, much bigger role.
WE were told by our Big 3 contacts that even though that we are moving to 9K2K from QS TE, we still have to meet customer requirements. Which are most likely a lot of what is in QS / TS and TE supplement. So this is why despite everyone talking about how great it is to "downsize" when you go to 9K2K, us TE suppliers are having to do in my opinion more and more to meet our biggest customer requirements.
I wish you all the best and good luck. Unfortunatly, the company that I am employeed with stuggles with ISO, the employees have a block against it, that has been since I started here. Management does not show that there are consequences for not following procedures, etc
. Also, many, many employees see ISO as an ADDITIONAL part of their job, not using or seeing it as a business model.
Would love to hear updates on how you are doing with the transisiton if you have time!
