Can anyone comment on these paragraphs in relation to applying ISO/TS16949 How accurate is this?
>>>>>>>>>
"All processes that operate on shifts have to be independently audited across all shifts according to a planned schedule. It is the process that is being audited, not the people, and so auditing each shift as they rotate to days is not covering the intent of the standard.
All production operations / shifts have to be manned with personnel responsible for product quality, independent of production with the authority to stop production to correct quality problems. These personnel must understand all specific customer requirements for quality and communicate any specific details across shifts."
