I'm in a debate with my registrar over the following clause of TS-16949:
8.2.2.4 Internal Audit Plans
Internal audits shall cover all quality management related processes, activities and shifts, and shall be scheduled according to an annual plan.
Their view: All processes must have been audited at least once in the last 12 month period.
My view: An audit PLAN must be maintained and updated at least annually. Processes do NOT have to be audited once in any 12 month period.
I'll hold off posting my reasoning until I get some input, as to not taint the poll.
(Edit: I probably should have used Plan instead of Schedule in the poll, so consider them the same thing since I can't seem to edit that.)

) I argued and won at that point, since it is definately not part of AS9100. We are also TS certified, but that audit is offset by six months. It was not written as a NC.
