Frequently asked questions

Does IATF 16949:2016 replace ISO 9001?

No. IATF 16949:2016 is not used on its own: it supplements ISO 9001, whose requirements must also be met. The course recalls the ISO 9001 requirements that help in reading the automotive standard.

What place do the core tools have?

The tools (APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, SPC) are presented to the extent the standard requires them or refers to them. Their practice is covered by dedicated courses in the catalogue.

What are customer-specific requirements?

They are the requirements particular to each vehicle manufacturer or principal, which are added to the standard and audited with it. The course shows how to list them and allocate them to your processes.

Who should attend?

Management, quality and supplier quality managers, process and methods engineers, production and maintenance managers of companies that supply the automotive industry or want to.
