IATF 16949 is the Quality Management Systems standard for the Automotive industry. The standard applies the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System as the foundation of the standard and incorporates the latest automotive standards spanning the globe.
By adopting the standard organizations demonstrate an elite level of dedication to quality excellence.
The Automotive Quality Management Systems standard ensures that your organization is creating quality products and performing services in accordance with stringent automotive industry expectations.
It defines the quality management systems requirements for the design and development, production, assembly, and installation of automotive-related products, as well as relevant services to the automotive industry. Obtaining a certificate assures your customers that your organization is committed to an effective and consistent supply chain.
One of our core services is the implementation of the customized management system according to your specific needs and available resources. During the implementation phase we prepare companies for the certification audit.
The internal audit is typically part of the implementation phase but can also be arranged as an independent service provided by an independent party. The scope of the audit is to assess compliance with the requirements of ISO 14001.
To guarantee that your supply chain is ready to support your company's scaling ambitions, we conduct supplier audits according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, and/or VDA 6.3. During the supplier audit, we also assist in establishing appropriate Quality Assurance Agreements and setting up supplier performance metrics.
We can help coordinate the process improvement to achieve the desired quality targets. Depending on the industry, we use a set of internationally recognized tools and practices. The output of this process is improved process performance, effectiveness, and efficiency.
