    In the IATF 16949 standard, section 8.3.4.1 states that "Measurements at specified stages during the design and development of products and proceses shall be defined, analysed, and reported with summary results as an input to management review (see section 9.3.2.1)."

    My issue is that when I look at section 9.3.2.1, I am having trouble finding which one of the inputs that the requirements of section 8.3.4.1 would align with? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

    The design process is simple to measure: Is it on time? And is it on budget? This is the auto industry! They don't want to pay too much and they want it on time. Simples! Further more, you can also measure changes the as the APQP process unfolds. Later in the process there should be less changes discovered "inside" the organization. Again, because they are expensive as development comes to the end...

    There are other required inputs to management review where they are mentioned outside of 9.3.2 - Management Review Inputs. These include: 5.1.1.2; 7.1.3.1; 8.3.4.1; 8.5.1.5f; 9.2.2.1 and the equivalent clause/s in ISO 9001:2015. You should not concern yourself about aligning these clauses with the subclauses of 9.3.2.1 as long as they are covered. However, clause 9.3.2c.5 of ISO 9001:2015 is relevant to 8.3.4.1.
