AS9100D: Is a product Quality Control Plan required?

Our company is ISO 9001: 2015 registered. We do not have Quality Control Plans for each model, as are required by TS16949.
Now that we are moving towards AS9100D registration, is it necessary for us to create product-specific Quality Control Plans?

What does AS9100D say? The answer is therein.
Of course, one can spend time going through the standard and ultimately come up with an answer.
But the purpose of asking a question is to shorten that process, and benefit from experience of others.

Oh. I understand now why I got this no-answer answer.
But that defeats the whole purpose of having a discussion forum. Bye.
 
Well there is no real shortcut for actually researching on your own. And you should become very familiar with the standard in order to effectively implement it. We are no there to regurgitate for you to take a short cut. And how do you know you are beign given the correct answer if you don’t read the standard yourself? If there are questions or concerns about interpretations of the standard then it is appropriate for you to to ask here and that’s why the forum exists.
 
Yes. That's what I had figured out.

If asking a direct question is "training", then so is looking for interpretation.

Anyway, your website, your rules. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

Edit: BTW, I do agree in principle that straightforward questions should be discouraged in individual threads. That will inundate the forum very quickly.
A suggestion may be to have a separate chat window for such one-liner questions.

AS9100 has no such requirement.
From someone who's taken the time to read the document.

Be given a fish and have a meal, or learn to fish and eat forever..........In this case you had the answer all along and either chose to ignore it or as Bev said, take a shortcut, which gives me an indicator about how strong a MS you're might probably going to end up with and possibly how your QMS is already.
 
Sometimes I wish Marc could post from above. As he did many times in similar circumstances, he would remind all involved that we strive to be “people helping people” and, like he did many a time, he would have added: “if you don’t have anything positive or constructive to say, stay away from the discussion”.

Comments such as “read the standard” or “do whatever works for you” don’t add much to discussion groups such as this one, which, by the way, will soon be less effective than some of the most advanced AI powered web solutions. Until that happens, I will try to remember and emulate Marc Smith’s approach and vision for this site. As I mentioned when he passed, I think we must honor his legacy by keeping the “people helping people” ideal alive.
 
I get you but simple things like doing his job to read the standard should not be enabled. Helping is far different from doing the work for them
