Knowledge to be gained.
This SQMC-certified IATF 16949 Awareness course covers the basic concepts, principles, and requirements of the IATF 16949 standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS) in the automotive and defence industries.
Participants will gain an understanding of the sector-specific requirements of the standard, including risk-based thinking, competency and training, supply chain management, and asset integrity management.
They will also learn about the importance of effective documentation and record-keeping, as well as the benefits of continual improvement and customer satisfaction.
Your team will learn:
- The fundamentals of IATF 16949:2016.
- The Requirements of a Quality Management System (QMS) for suppliers to the automotive and defence markets, using IATF 16949 as your yardstick.
- The ‘Seven Management Principles’ upon which IATF 16949 is based.
- Deming's ‘Plan – Do – Check – Act’ (PDCA) cycle, used to maintain an automotive QMS.
- The 'process approach'.
- The application of the IATF 16949 clauses, contextualising them to real-life scenarios for your employees.
IATF 16949 and your company.
Whereas ISO 9001 is a generic Quality Management System (QMS) standard that may be used in any industry, IATF 16949 is automotive-specific. It incorporates more stringent requirements such as product design and development, change management, and supplier management that are not covered by ISO 9001.
Because IATF 16949 the most recognised standard, worldwide, for automotive quality management, achieving certification can provide a valuable, competitive advantage in your marketplace. Moreover, not holding Certification can exclude you from certain contract tenders.
Training your workforce to understand and implement the requirements of the standard can help your business maximise its operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction.
Your staff will gain knowledge of quality management principles, risk management, and process improvement techniques that can be applied to all aspects of your business operations. This can result in better products, more efficient processes, and improved customer satisfaction.
