My company is a distributor to automotive OEM's. We are implementing QS-9000 but are having trouble relating APQP to a distribution operation. Does anyone have any suggestions on how a distributor should address this area of QS-9000 or if we need to address it at all? IP: Logged |

The demands of APQP are based around cusomer satisfaction and performance correctly all the time All of your activities are describable and can be made into a flow chart, FMEA can also be done on all your activities. There is no real difference between your activities and a manufacturer. Try to follow the list of activitues that are in the handbook and find their relevance to you. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Just a few thoughts to maybe help get you thinking... 1)How do you select the products you distribute? 2)How do you select the vendors for those products? 3)Do you have a repackaging operation? 4)Consider incoming inspection of the items you stock. 5)Consider filling orders as an operation to plan. To help get in the right frame of mind, remember that the P in APQP can be for either "product" or "process". IP: Logged |
