Automotive suppliers must maintain a complex set of supplier certifications, shipping information and ongoing industry and general regulatory activity. Automotive manufacturers regularly audit their suppliers to determine how well they maintain these records.
GSQA enables enterprise-wide visibility and accountability to maintain compliance with TS-16949's complex supply chain documentation requirements.
GSQA provides a simple and inexpensive way to maintain compliance with the TS-16949's complex supplier record keeping requirements. Developed in conjunction with a leading automotive manufacturer's best practices, GSQA assures ongoing TS-16949 compliance without having to create additional procedures and/or processes.
Specifically, GSQA enables ongoing compliance with the following TS-16949 requirements listed below.
GSQA's e-COA feature confirms that each shipment and lot for the incoming material conforms to specifications. In order for this to be accomplished, GSQA streamlines the following processes:
GSQA enables creating, tracking and closing of supplier corrective action requests / nonconformance (Jim, link to nonconformance management page) requests (NCR) through a robust, flexible, collaborative system.
