Dear all,
There is a problem for me about the scope of the requirements of clause 8.4.1 and 8.4.2.
Based on clause 8.4.1 and 8.4.2, it seems that the scope of the requirement is only for suppliers that provide products that incorporate into the organization's own products or directly sent to the customers on behalf of the organization and the related products (product and product' supplier). This means that it is not necessary to determine and apply criteria for the evaluation, selection, monitoring of performance, and re-evaluation of other providers such as production equipment/tool providers. As you know the production equipment/tool such as machine, gauges or fixtures have an important effect on the quality of organization's own products. So, my questions are:
1. Does the scope of clause 8.4.1 and 8.4.2 do not cover other purchased items such as production equipment and their related suppliers (production equipment and production equipment supplier), than product or service?
2. Is there any requirement in IATF 16949 to define the necessity of controls on suppliers providing production equipment and the purchased equipment?
Thanks all,
