I have been working in automotive sector for 12 years as Quality/Product/Manufacturing engineer, but in the previous internal audit the audit asked me if all ( Machine, Device, Tools for MFg., hertz to speed, thermolecters, chronometer.... ) included in the control plan must calibrated ??? I am mix up. Anyone can explain me if there is a criteria to define what kind of device must calibrated ?
