Interpretation of Clause 7.1 Planning Of Product Realization in AS9100C standard

[qarep]

I thank all the members of this forum for their inputs in addressing the queries.

Can someone help me understand 7.1 Clause on Planning of Product Realization. I would prefer if there are any templates and forms related to the clause that would capture the required data.

Thanks

Easy, it's "interpreted" in ALL the other clauses of Section 7

Don't waste time on 7.1, focus on the others, when you meet them you'll automatically meet 7.1

First of all, take a look through these threads: Product Realization related discussion threads. It's pretty much the same in all the standards it is in (ISO 9001, ISO 13485, etc.), but note that each may have some additional requirements when compared to ISO 9001, for example.

Essentially you have to have a quality plan for products(s).

What Randy was trying to say is that 7.1 is sort of a "topic". It has sub-topics (aka clauses) which you must comply with. When you comply with each sub-clause you will meet the requirements of 7.1.

As to forms and such, take a look through Quality Plan Example Files as a starter.
