We are a subsidiary company in Australia, out parent company is in USA who hold Design Authority (that pesky ITAR...) for pretty much all engineering design we built to. They hold AS9100 and follow their own D&D, Configuration processes etc.. We are, in effect, subcontractors for engineering design and satisfy their SOW requirements (when they stop changing their minds) in the form of engineering technical data packages that we eventually manufacture to.
1. When developing processes for D&D and Config Management, is it enough to "point" to their QMS or do local processes need to contain a subset of theirs to some degree?
2. Control of D&D Changes AS9100 Sect 7.3.7: Is this applicable to any stage of D&D activity, or is it more geared to change control after final design is approved (aka revision control) ? I ask this because of reference to "...product already delivered" , which only makes sense if the D&D is complete and product is actually being manufactured against that design.
Bit confused here...
