The "Shalls" of QS9000 T&E Supplement

I am new to the forum so I apologize if this question has already been addresses. (I looked through more than 300 threads so I think I am safe.)

Can anyone direct me to a concise list of the Shalls and Shoulds that are required in the T&E Supplement to QS9000? We just had a pre-assessment audit and our auditor caught us off-gaurd on several items. I want to be better prepared for our actual certification audit.
Thanks (hablo espanol)

First of all, welcome to the Cove! :bigwave:


The best way to find all of the "shalls" is to just grab QS-9000 and the TE Supplement to it and go element by element and highlight the shalls. This would be far better than just getting a list from someone. BTW, why are you going for TE this late in the game?

Thanks for the reply.
The reason we are still doing TE is a long story. We have been "working" on this for a couple of years already. Senior Management finally got serious in January. That is when I became Management Rep. I discovered the fact that QS and TE are essentially dead standards about 6 weeks ago. Our president wants us to get certified and THEN look at what to do next because he doesnt want to delay the process any farther.

You need to through it sub-element by sub-element. Also look at the R&M requirements, you may want to make a case to go for TS. TE is not the easiest to understand or apply.

What did you get "caught" on? We have been TE for 4 years now, I may be able to help.

Just wanted to let you know that last week we decided to change our focus to ISO 9001:2000. This standard is more appropriate for our company than the old QS9000 TE Supplement. This means a lot of work as we adjust to the different requirments but I think it will be worth it.
Thank you for the help!
