From TS 16949, 8.2.2.1 The organizaiton shall audit its quality manangment system to verify compliance with this Technical Specification and any additional quality management system requirements.
Our organization's response to this requirement was to take the IATF TS 16949 checklist and do a multi-day "system" audit. This checklist was obsoleted by the IATF becasue it did not support the Process Appproach. The checklist did support a element / clause approach.
So how are others meeting this system audit requirement? How does one audit the system (inter-related processes) using the proccess approach? Somehow, we need to look at the entire system in regards to inputs, outputs, controls and resources per process, link all of the processes together to get the big picture, and then make a statment that our qms is or is not complaint to TS 16949?
Another idea I had was to include questions in our process audits that relate directly to TS. Generally, our process audits are comprised of questions that are taken dircelty from our internal process specs and not from TS.
Any feedback would be apprecaited.
Thank you, Dirk van Putten
