6. TS 16949 Gap Analysis Features
· Your managementSystemscope applies to what product lines, TS 16949 Standard clauses,
and facilities that you are planning on registering. You do not have to register every product
line. To define the scope within the Gap Analysis we look at what processes need to be included
and described within the Organization. The output is a draft process map. Next we examine
each clause of the TS 16949 Standard. There are over hundreds of requirements that we count
to see which ones apply and how an organization may be conforming. These requirements
include mandatory records, and required procedures, manual, and many process needs that
must be fulfilled, but there is a lot of leeway on how you might fulfill those requirements.
· For example, collecting customer feedback on “deviations from needs & expectations”is a
required process and that must be measured,is a requirement, but how you do this is totally up
to you. You do not have to write a procedure for this or keep a record of measurements.As odd
as this sounds you have to free your mind of paper solutions and think of visual or electronic
methods that could accomplish this.
· The output of the TS 16949 Standards“requirements”count is a histogram that shows you
how your organization stacks up, clause by clause, and a list of possible exclusions of areas
within clauses that may not apply. Each exclusion claimed will require a proper justification
within the Documented Framework. In the Gap Analysis we should be able to give you an idea
on possible exclusions.
