Not Responsible?
Hello Tyker:
If your organization is not responsible for the supplier's product quaility, then why do you perform receiving inspection, containment, sorting, correction etc and claim any costs back from the supplier?
If you do these things, seems to me that your organization would take an interest in the quality system of your supplier and "develop" it as required. The supplier's inputs to your QMS have an impact. If they didn't, you wouldn't inspect them, sort them, contain them, and charge back.
Or why don't you ask your customer for a waiver since they designated who the supplier is? I don't think your orgainzation's actions are complaint with TS 16949. You neither complied with the development part of the standard nor did you contact your customer and ask for a waiver. I see nothing in your posts that indicates your organization actively tried to be compliant to 7.4.1.2 until it became an N/C. I see no problems with what your registrar wrote up in the N/C.
Also, I do not see how the concept of customer supplied product applies here.

Dirk
