GMW15920 and other GMW Requirements

[KyleB]

Good Morning.
I have a general question in regards to the GMW requirements. We are transitioning to IATF 16949. Does the GMW requirements, i.e. 15920, 15049, 1927-03, GP-12 do these only affect Tier 1 suppliers? We are tier 2, and have not been ask by "our" customer who supplies GM. Does anyone have any experience or input in this?
Thanks.

I think these requirements affect everyone because they're written in the Customer Specific Requirements for GM. As long as GM receives your product, I'm pretty sure you have to comply. We are wondering if the GMW 15920 applies to us as well because we have a similar situation but saw you must purchase the GMW15920 handbook in order to access it. I'd love to find out more information as well if you ever find out more.

I have the handbook and its a doozie. Supplier project records must be stored by suppliers in a way that will make it effective to find and retrieve records for business, legal or tax purposes for the entire retention period.

You need to have a process for legal discovery of information and data and to be able to put it on hold in case of litigation.

PPAP - records 50 years plus. Then they list in detail what they consider PPAP records.

We are looking at document control packages right now but they are not for legal purposes; they are for easy updates to process control documents.

Does anyone have a document control system like this? Not being involved in legal affairs I don't know what this really means.
