Hello All,
I would like to ask for your help and experience.
At the moment our factory is expanding, and the second factory is almost fully built up.
The customer is not fixed yet, but the manufacturing process will be pressing.
I got the responsibility to get the company the Letter of Conformance and after we have the 12 months production period, the official IATF 16949 certificate.
My Korean bosses told me that I have to start preparing for it only with these few information.
What I know for sure is that the Design and Development can be excluded because we won't be making any of that, we will receive drawings from our customer.
So my questions are:
- As I know to pass Stage 1, we have to show the auditor the following things:
- Process Map
- Organization Chart
- KPIs
- Internal Audit Plan (and executed audits with audit reports)
- The 21 mandatory documents
- Management Review
As I know the Quality Manual is not mandatory anymore.
Is there anything else that is missing?
Is it even possible to start making the 21 mandatory documents without knowing the future products?
Can you help me explain, what needs to be done until Stage 1, and what I can do now with almost no information about our future customer?
Thank you so much in advance!
