How to understand the word "include" in IATF 16949

[jelly1921]

In some clauses the word "shall include but is not limited to the following, as applicable" used, such as 8.3.5.1. --- this makes sense, because not all of the items listed must be included, if they are not applicable.

But in other clauses using the word "shall include but is not limited to the following", such as 8.2.5.2 --- the items listed a) to n) must be included in the manufacturing process design output?

Thanks

Yes. I would think with either case a picky auditor would look for "inclusion" and consideration of the bullet point and/or a justification as to why it may not be applicable.

Hi Jelly

I think all of the the bullets shall be included in manufacturing process design output except bullet m), because of its "as appropriate" status.
