General The work of preparing CQI 9: Special Process: Heat Treat System Assessment (HTSA) was carried out through the AIAG Heat Treat Work Group.

9 These heat treat requirements are complementary to customer and product standards. y nl The HTSA can be used to assess an organization's ability to meet the requirements in this assessment, as well as customer, regulatory, and the organization's own requirements. The HTSA can also be used O. between an organization and its suppliers. In the HTSA, the word shall indicates a requirement. Where the term such as is used, any se suggestions given are for guidance only . U. Process Approach al The HTSA supports the automotive process approach as described in ISO/TS16949:2002.

10 Rn Heat Treat System Assessment Goals te The goal of the HTSA is the development of a heat treat management system that provides for continual improvement, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain. In The HTSA, coupled with an internationally recognized quality management system and applicable customer-specific requirements, defines the fundamental requirements for heat treat management systems. d or The HTSA is intended to provide a common approach to a heat treat management system for automotive production and service part organizations.
