Hello All,
We are trying to get our company certified by the end of the year and I am trying to understand clause 3.6.4. So, I would like to know how do we prove that suppliers/specifications have been reviewed and recorded?
Your information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
We developed our own raw material specifications that are signed and dated by the buyer, plant manager, and QA. Where we do use the supplier specifications, we stamp the actual specification with 'Approved', initial, and date. Our program states that we maintain a list of raw materials and they are reviewed every three years or as part of our New Product Process (i.e. a new product is brought in, we review to make sure our spec is updated or if we require a new one for new material). For our finished product specifications, we maintain a register that is in excel, with the item #, description, date of last review, and initials.
