The IATF is an ad hoc group of OEM's and automotive trade associations whose common goal is to improve the quality of products to automotive customers worldwide. IATF members include the Big 3, along with Fiat, Citroen, VW, Renault and national automotive trade associations from the US, Germany, UK, Italy and France. Additionally, the Japanese vehicle association, JAMA, has been involved with the IATF's efforts to develop TS 16949.

TS 16949 Pre- Assessments / Gap Analysis

We will conduct a third party assessment/audit (gap analysis) of your existing Quality Assurance (Control) Systems which will determine the level of compliance of your facility to quality standards such as TS 16949, ISO 9000 and HAACCP.

We will conduct an assessment on the current quality system and general condition of the company. This will include interviewing key personnel in each department or area. For example, this may include the management team, team leaders, supervisors, office staff, operators, etc…

The assessment will entail the investigation and assessment of existing quality system elements as they apply to the applicable standard.

It is a comprehensive review of a company's quality systems and procedures. Non-compliance's to the standard are noted, and a report issued.

It will also include some general questions to determine the overall condition of the company. For example, questions to determine some of the strengths and weaknesses (opportunities for improvement) of the organization. This will help us identify any barriers that may prevent you from obtaining your goal of Registration.

The responses will be summarized and reports will be issued (including recommendations) and reviewed with the management team.

The information gathered here will be used to develop your implementation and action plans.

Again, our auditors will provide you with a detailed written report and recommendations for improvements.

A needs assessment is an ideal way to start a quality system implementation program or to ensure your company is in the position to successfully pass a registration audit.

TS 19949 Documentation

Documentation plays an important part of a Quality Management System.

We can help you with every level of documention:

  • We can write the documents for you.
  • We can provide templates so you can write them on your own.
  • We can review your current documentation for compliance
  • We can review your current documentation for opportunities for improvement.

Documentation requirements are usually divided in four Tiers:

  • Quality Policy and Quality Manual
  • Quality System Procedures
  • Work/Job Instructions
  • Quality Records

What is a Quality Manual?
A Quality Manual is the statement of the organization's quality policy and describing the quality system of an organization. It is usually written by managers from top level management and the quality department.

What is a Procedure?
Procedures define activities at the departmental level and written by department supervisors. They are usually referred to in a quality system, as a "written" procedure or a "documented" procedure. Procedures should ideally be organized into the ISO 9001 outline structure, indicating the TS 16949 clause under which they fall, though is not a TS 16949 requirement.

What is a Work Instruction?
Work instructions describe how work is accomplished, it is 100% of how to complete a specific task or operation, and are usually written by the operators and trainers.

What are Records?
Quality records provide the backbone of the quality system.

Quality records consist of all forms, or controlled documents and quality records (hard copy and electronic) necessary for the quality system to operate.

Quality records usually consist of all completed forms and charts.
