New company - how much history required?
:mg: I am working with a small company that is being required to be TS 16949 certified. I was told by a Registrar's representative that they require 12 months of "data" in order to be qualified for registration. The company is quite new and has never been registered before. They have no formal quality systems in place. In the last year and 1/2 it has grown from 3 to 10 full time employees, plus 30 temps.
The company has about 1 to 2 years of process data, PPAP's, CP's, etc., but OEM has been working with this company to develop the production process. The OEM SQE's were assembling the APQP/PPAP documentation with data collected and working with the company's employees.
I am trying to get clarification from the registrar on what "data" and the time frame, but I was wondering if anyone else has come across this "requirement". I've worked on several QS implementations and it was never an issue.
