Our company recently submitted documentation as part of a customers new supplier pre-qualification survey.This survey requested specific work instructions for processes. All previous surveys I completed over the years have not requested this level of detail.
All QMS related documentation was submitted as secured pdfs. Our submission was approved by the customer, but the customer cannot import the documentation into their system because of the pdf security that is in place. I will not provided my password to remove the security, so I am being asked to remove the security and re-submit the documentation. We currently do not have a NDA in place with this customer.
Is it general practice to have NDAs in place before submitting QMS documentation for new supplier pre-qualification surveys?
Is a NDA recommended in this situation?
