IATF 16949:2016 Internal Auditor

IATF 16949:2016 along with applicable automotive customer-specific requirements, ISO 9001:2015 requirements, and ISO 9000:2015 defines the fundamental quality management system requirements for automotive production and relevant service parts organisations. As such, IATF 16949 cannot be considered a stand-alone QMS standard but has to be comprehended as a supplement to and used in conjunction with ISO 9001:2015. The goal of this standard is the development of a quality management system that provides for continual improvement, emphasising defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain.

This two-day course provides delegates with the skills necessary to be effective internal auditors of IATF 16949:2016.
