I am looking for the definition of a critical characteristics as defined in the AIAG manual. I have most all the manuals but I can't find the definition in them. Does anybody know which manual I should look in?
Good day @mslady1 ;
IATF 16949:2016 section 3.1 identifies special characteristic as follows...
Special Characteristics classification of product characteristic or manufacturing process parameter that can affect safety or compliance with regulations, fit, function, performance, requirements, or subsequent processing of product.
