The Scope of this New Standard
The global automotive and transportation industry faces significant challenges, including rapid growth of emerging markets and the need to improve performance and reliability while ensuring the best cost-effectiveness. In response to these challenges, the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) has published the new IATF standard 16949:2016.
This new international standard describes the requirements for quality management systems for organizations working in the production, service and / or accessory parts of the automotive and transport industry.
As IATF points out, this new international standard aims to develop a quality management system designed to:
-
Provide continuous improvement,
-
Highlight the prevention of failures,
-
Include requirements and tools specific to the automotive sector,
-
Promote the decrease in variation and waste within the supply chain.
The new IATF 169491:2016 replaces ISO / TS 16949: 2009. This new normative reference is based on the requirements of ISO 9001: 2015, supplemented by the demands of the automotive industry. This new framework strengthens the management system in terms of continuous improvement, risk analysis prevention and leadership.
Note that since October 2017, it is mandatory to transition to this new standard IATF 16949:2016.
