2. Customer Requirements Document Structure
This document is structured as a companion document to ISO/TS 16949:2002. The paragraphs to this document mirror the paragraphs to ISO/TS 16949:2002. Where guidance by the customer is referenced, a requirement will be stated to clarify Visteon interpretation. For suppliers of semiconductor components, the Customer Specific Requirements (ISO/TS 16949:2002) Semiconductor Commodity uses this same structure and should be used as a companion requirements document to this document and ISO/TS 16949:2002. The requirements of all three documents must be met where applicable.
Some additional requirements are contained in the Annex B, which is not auditable by registrars. The contents of this entire document are considered requirements for doing business with Visteon and should be implemented even if the organization is not registered to ISO/TS 16949:2002. In second party audits, the expectation of Visteon is that all these requirements (where applicable) are implemented.
3. Reference Documents
The following reference documents are available through AIAG (248-358-3003) or Carwin Continuous (UK) in Europe (44-1-708-861333) and shall be used to develop the quality system. The AIAG reference manuals to the latest edition shall also be used.
Production Part Approval Process, PPAP
Statistical Process Control, SPC
Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, FMEA
Advanced Product Quality Planning and Control Plan, APQP
Measurement Systems Analysis, MSA
Materials Management Operations Guideline, MMOG
