I am hoping somebody can settle a debate in our shop. In the past with both QS & ISO we have calibrated every gage in our facility and I have never had a problem during survelience audits. However, I am currently upgrading my newest company to TS from ISO. When doing the gap analysis, I found several gages on the shop floor were not calibrated. To top the whole situation off, they were not even controlled. When I asked about why this was permitted the answer is: The uncontrolled and non calibrated gages are not used for final dimensions. They are used during production, however the dimensions they are used for are not part of the final print. The processes used for final dimensions do have calibrated and controlled gages. After reviewing the requirements of 7.6 I have to agree. Has anybody else beein in this type of experience and what was said by your auditors? My company says they have been audited for this several times and the auditor said he did not like it, but it was within the requirements.
All help would be appreciated.
