IATF PROCESSES

[delcarmenbe]

Hi,

I'm starting in IATF area.
I have doubt about the IATF standard, because this one mention a lot of times "documented process".
My doubt is, I must have a process for each time this one the mentioned?

I thankful you for your answers.

The intent (SHALL) where it says "documented process", you need to have both a process and a document for that process.

As malasuerte says, when the standard says 'shall have a documented process', it means you need to have a process, and a document which describes that process.
My personal recommendation is to use a process flowchart, as this makes it easier to identify the inputs and outputs, show links to other processes (where necessary) and identify stakeholders/contributors to the process.
Nothing in the standard says HOW you have to document the process, but be prepared to justify your rationale to an auditor if you do something unusual.
