i received one (1) mionor for having a feasibility study signed off before the contract acceptance date. Apparentky this is a big issue with the IAOB.

The auditors spent a lot of in these areas.

I’m familiar with the Ford requirements for auditor qualification. Can I ask how picky they were, and how they interpreted the requirement for training “Conducted by a trainer who meets the requirements for ISO/TS 16949:2002 CB/Registrar Auditor Certification and Upgrade Training”?

Sam,

It sounds as if they really had to dig to find a few things to gig you with.:agree:

How were preventive action, continuous improvement, and corrective action handled by the auditor. Also if you want to post it, who was your registrar?

Al...:)

Howste,
I wanted some feedback on that also. Howecer, the auditor only selected one customer to review customer specific requirements and that was GM.
The auditing requirement for GM is 10011 (replaced by 19011). We walked thru this standfard step -by-step. One of the minors that I received was for not having auditor qualifications available for review as defined in 6.3 & 6.4.
General statement for auditing customer requirements; show evidence of compliance or produce a waiver from your customer. Also, refer to PPAP third edition CSR's are a part of the PPAP.
As for the Ford auditing requirements I will have to discuss the issue with my STA.

Al Dyer,
Prevetive action, Continuous improvement and corrective action was reviewed in depth for implementation, problem solving methods, effect on similar products and follow-up.
I received one minor for PA; no follow-up. One minor for CI; records not up-dated.
