Is an assembly service, part sequencing, and kitting operation Qualified for TS 16949

We recently had some discussion about is our company qualified to be TS 16949 registered. We provide an assembly service, part sequencing, and kitting operations to a major truck manufacturer. The truck manufacturer is rolling out a requirement that all their suppliers need to be TS 16949 registered. We do not actually manufacture any parts. The truck manufacturer has their Tier 1 suppliers drop ship parts to our warehouse. So everything we handle is customer owned product. We kit the parts, put the kits in line sequence, maybe assemble a couple parts and ship the components to the truck manufacturer.

Is there a requirement for TS 16949 that you actually have to be a manufacturer of automotive parts before qualifying for registration?

Yes, ISO/TS 16949:2009 certification can only be obtained by organizations that manufacture. However, you mentioned: "Maybe assemble a couple of parts..." That would be "manufacturing." What is the percentage of work you assemble? If you are currently ISO 9001:2008 registered, you may want to contact your Registrar and inquire, just to make sure.
