How to create the documents with example:

1) Design records: This is the product design in any drawing software used. This depends on the ownership of technology. If the customer is design responsible, design record is the print that is accompanied with the PO from the customer. If the supplier is design responsible, its the product design that has to be submitted to the customer.
In majority of the cases, if the supplier is design responsible and the technology is latest, the supplier will not submit this. Can this happen? Yes, ask your customer to come to your facility to review the drawing. The customer in no case can force you to hand over your formulae for earning your livelyhood. This is usually ballooned, to easily identify the number of dimensions on the print and mark them in dimensional result/ dimensional layout report.
 
Example:




The balloons marked with numbers can be used in making dimensional report layout.

2) Engineering Approval:

3) DFMEA: Please click on the link below.


4) Process Flow Diagram (PFD).

5) PFMEA: Please click on the link below.

6) Production Control Plan.

7) Measuring System Analysis.

8) Dimensional Results Report

9) Material Study/ Records of material

10) Initial process study.

11) Qualified Lab documents

12) Appearance Approval Report (AAR)

13) Sample production parts.

14) Master sample

15) Checking aids

16) Customer specific requirement

17) Part submission warrant

18) Engineering change: If any change is made to the engineering specifications, there has to be notification to all respective parties affected by the change. If the supplier has the ownership of the drawing, then the changes in specifications are sent to customer for Approval. If the customer has the ownership of drawing, then they send the required design changes to the supplier for followup. This shows if the supplier has been manufacturing according to the latest engineering change or the previous one. I have seen lots of issues arising out of this mis-communication.
Supplier had provided customer parts with old drawings as the pattern of notification from customer has been poor.
