Overall there was no difference betwween TS2 and QS.
The audit process is completed. there is a closing meeting. the NCR's are reviewed, instructions are to have NCR's answered wthin thirty days, when approved the certificate is mailed.
The auditing process was different. The documntation required by the certification scheme was submitted to the registrar for review at there facility. There was no document review on site. There were no checklists used on site. The primary document for the audit was a spreadsheet with the process definition of each COP. In addition, the auditor selected one customer, in our case GM, to audit compliance to contract requirements, customer specific requirement and the customer specific requirements listed in the PPAP manual. The entire process for a GM order was audited.
The surveillance audit will be similar but it will be with a different customer.
