Hi all,
In clause 5.5, IATF rules (5th ed.) states that:
When planning the initial stage 2 audit, the remote supporting function shall be audited prior to the site.
Additional audits of remote supporting functions may be necessary based upon their demonstrated performance as seen at the site(s) they support.
I think that it would be illogical to audit remote support locations when there is no clue. For Example it is better to audit purchasing function (remote) after you got good clues from incoming quality or production processes.
I have not faced any addition audit of remote supporting functions yet.
So, my question is that:
Why IATF rules require the CBs to audit the remote supporting functions prior to the site? Is not it better to audit remote supporting functions after site audit?
Thanks all
