| Sampling Factors: |
Location: The scope of appraisal is R & D Center of Guangxi Together located at Liuzhou and R & D Center of Shenzhen Together located at Shenzhen. Two locations are considered for appraisal. Guangxi Together and Shenzhen Together have common QMS for both the locations. But “LOCATION” factor is considered for project selection to include projects from both locations.
Customer (Not Relevant: R & D Center of both the companies (i.e. Guangxi Together and Shenzhen Together) executes development project for automotive manufacturing industry. In all the basic units, standard process defined at organization level with minor tailoring is followed. No significant change is observed in the process being followed by these basic units for different customers. Therefore ‘CUSTOMER’ factor is not considered for project selection.)
