Hello Forum,
My customer requested new MSA studies every year to be included with the annual submissions. Reviewing the PPAP and the MSA AIAG 4th Edition books and the ISO/IATF standard, I have not seen this requirement and also our customer's customer specific manual doesn't include this requirement as well. Based on the precise components that we manufacture and the gauges that are used, a Gauge R&R study can take from 2 to 3 weeks.
Could you please let me know if our customer request is valid?
Thank you
