Section Title: Requirements for Personnel |
| 9100 Clause |
Purchasing information: Purchasing information shall describe the product to be purchased including, where appropriate, requirements for qualification of personnel. |
| Generic Expectation |
Requests for procurement of material and supplies shall also include any requirements for personnel certifications / qualifications when the processes being used to produce the product require it or the organization's customer has flowed that requirement to the organization as well. |
| Product Type: |
COTS/Standards |
Raw Material |
Build-to-Print |
Supplier Design |
| Specific Expectation |
Organization (Buyer) |
None - by definition this requirement would not be imposed on this type of procurement |
Typically no contractual document or requirement, unless non-destructive testing or welding was involved. Then typically the "requirement for personnel" would be embedded in a related specification such as an AMS or customer specification that requires personnel certifications for these types of tasks. This would be included in the product specification or engineering definition on the contractual document by part number or specification. |
A contract clause or design specification requirement is to be placed in the contractual document or included in the technical package. Sometimes the organization will approve or require personnel performing certain processes to be approved by means of compliance with a specification or industry standard. Examples include non-destructive testing, welding, electrical soldering or other processes that have a high degree of human intervention and control. Customer requirements that are flowed to the organization have to also be flowed to sub-contractors. |
A requirement for the supplier organization to have controls for certain processes or specifications which are typically included in the design specification or statement of work for the item to be procured. The actual requirements for personnel certification / qualification will usually be subsequently approved as part of design review and approval with provisions that these requirements are not to be changed without the approval of the organiztion. |
| Supplier (Seller) |
COTS suppliers shall ensure that employees are adequately trained in accordance with any applicable requirements or specifications. |
AS9100 See 7.2.2 Customer-Related Processes and 7.5.2.b Validation of Processes for Production and Service Provision (b: approval of equipment and qualification of personnel) as applicable when the customer has to approve personnel. |
AS9100 See 7.2.2 Customer-Related Processes |
| Documentation to demonstrate conformance to expectation (what the auditor would look for) |
Organization (Buyer) |
None - by definition this requirement would not be imposed on this type of procurement |
Typically there should be specifications or contract clauses that would specify the requirement the organization is looking for on the contractual documents. |
Specific design and process control related items would be defined in the statement of work or specifications. Subsequent orders would require the original / qualified design specifications and requirements. Subsequent orders may highlight specific contract clauses for requirements as subsequently identified by the organization's customer that need to be flowed down to the supplier. |
| Supplier (Seller) |
None |
Typically a certificate of conformance stating that the supplier complies with the order requirements. If a specific specification is required, it should be so noted on the certification and attested to. |
| Examples (Best Practices) |
