IATF16949 {8.5.1.6} Management of production tooling and manufacturing, test, inspection tooling and equipment - Explained

IATF16949 {8.5.1.6} Management of production tooling and manufacturing, test, inspection tooling and equipment

The organization shall provide resources for tool and gauge design, fabrication, and verification activities for production and service materials and for bulk materials, as applicable.
The organization shall establish and implement a system for production tooling management, whether owned by the organization or the customer, including:
a) maintenance and repair facilities and personnel;
b) storage and recovery:
c) set-up;
d) tool-change programmes for perishable tools;
e) tool design modification documentation, including engineering change level of the product;
f) tool modification and revision to documentation;
g) tool identification, such as serial or asset number; the status, such as production, repair or disposal; ownership; and location.
The organization shall verify that customer-owned tools, manufacturing equipment, and test/inspection
equipment are permanently marked in a visible location so that the ownership and application of each item can be determined.
The organization shall implement a system to monitor these activities if any work is outsourced.

BREAKDOWN MAINTENANCE OF TOOLS

Machine operator should inform to the tool room person regarding breakdown of tool through Tooling Memo.

After completion of breakdown maintenance of Tools, get the first piece inspected, if it is OK then handover the die for production.

While conducting preventive maintenance, if any part is found damaged or faulty, it is replaced / repaired as needed and update the Tool Spares Stock register for the consumed parts.

At the end of every month prepare tool breakdown hour’s summary report.

Carry out analysis on major contributing factors to reduce the tool breakdown hours.

Preserve all tooling in their respective storage locations / racks. 

Tool Life will be calculated and decided at the time of tool manufacturing by die maker. 

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OF TOOLS
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OF TOOLS

A List of tools is prepared and maintained.

 Tools are identified with unique numbers / locations for safe storage & easy retrieval. 

Prepare preventive maintenance check sheet for all press tools. 

Carryout tool verification as per decided frequency in Tool PM Module and monitor the tool life by monitoring quantity produced by that tool in each die loading and unloading time. 

The inspection of tooling involves the following:
         a) Verification of tool with respect to boundary dimensions, where applicable.
         b) Visual Inspection of tool for surface finish 
         c) Tool is mounted and process is run at flow rates matching production situation to produce part/component.

Accordingly based on tool and part inspection using calibrated instrumentation, the tool is accepted/rejected and same endorsed on Tool history card.

Inventory of Non-consumable /non-perishable tooling is controlled through Tool History card.

 If tools are to be rejected / reworked then the same is identified accordingly and kept in designated area.

IATF16949(ISO9001) {8.5.6} Control of changes See ISO 9001:2015 requirements. The organization shall review and control changes for production or service provision, to the extent necessary to ensure continuing conformity with requirements. The organization shall retain documented information describing the results of the review of changes, the person( s) authorizing the change, and any necessary actions arising from the review. 8.5.6.1 Control of changes — supplemental The organization shall have a documented process to control and react to changes that impact product realization. The effects of any change, including those changes caused by the organization, the customer, or any supplier, shall be assessed. The organization shall: a) define verification and validation activities to ensure compliance with customer requirements; b) validate changes before implementation; c) document the evidence of related risk analysis; d) retain records of verification and validation.Changes, including...

IATF16949 {8.5.1.1} Control Plan - Explained

IATF16949 {8.5.1.1} Control Plan The organization shall develop control plans (in accordance with Annex A)at the system, subsystem, component, and/or material level for the relevant manufacturing site and all product supplied, including those for processes producing bulk materials as well as parts. Family control plans are acceptable for bulk material and similar parts using a common manufacturing process. The organization shall have a control plan for pre-launch and production that shows linkage and incorporates information from the design risk analysis (if provided by the customer),process flow diagram, and manufacturing process risk analysis outputs( such as FMEA). The organization shall, if required by the customer, provide measurement and conformity data collected during execution of either the pre-launch or production control plans. The organization shall include in the control plan: a) controls used for the manufacturing process control, including verification of job set-ups; b)...
