Supplier within the Organization

[luismx]

There is an organization which has a physical supplier within the organization that buys and controls shell materials, also this supplier provides these shell materials to the assembly lines when required.
Is this "supplier" out of the ISO9001 audit scope as any other supplier even if it is within the organization?

Are you saying this is an entirely different/separate company which the "main" company allocates space to operate in?

 

[luismx]

Yes, it is seen as supplier.
This supplier buys raw material (epoxies, adhesives, etc.), controls them (temperature, FIFO, etc.) and provide them to the production lines when required.

Is the supplier actually a separate company? That is what I am getting at determining. If it is a situation where the supplier is an entirely different company, with its own QMS, owner, etc., it is outside your ISO 9001 registration scope. However they are in you company's scope of supplier controls, supplier development, supplier audits, etc.

 

[luismx]

Indeed, it is a separate company.
Then, you mean this supplier must be controlled through ISO9001:2015 clause 8.4.

Thanks

Yes.
