I have searched this forum but cannot find an answer, Is Safe Launch a Requirement of IATF 16949 if so, what is the clause.
Or, is it driven by top Auto makers and flowed down to Tier 1 suppliers? We supply a range of parts to all Automotive makers but struggle with this requirement being applied to "ALL" parts we make. In some cases we are a Tier 2 supplier, it doesn't make sense to place the burden of 100% sort unless necessary when we have robust milestone launch program that is followed. Parts are off process, off tool and ready for launch, any feedback would be appreciated.
