Overview of IATF 16949 Audits

The IATF 16949 audit is a comprehensive evaluation process specifically designed for the automotive sector, aiming to ensure that organizations involved in this industry meet the high standards of quality and reliability demanded by automotive manufacturers worldwide. This audit is based on the International Automotive Task Force’s (IATF) 16949 standard, which itself builds upon the widely recognized ISO 9001 quality management systems, tailoring them to fit the unique requirements and challenges of the automotive industry.

During an IATF 16949 audit, an external team of expert auditors assesses various aspects of a company’s operations, including its quality management system, processes, products, and services, to verify compliance with the standard. This process not only helps identify areas of improvement but also serves as a crucial step for companies striving to enter or continue their business within the global automotive supply chain.

The IATF 16949 audit conducted by Pro QC involves a detailed examination of a company’s or supplier’s site through document reviews, interviews, and facility tours. The audit checklist covers several key areas including the organization’s context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation, improvement, and control plans.

The outcome of this audit is a thoroughly detailed report that contrasts the IATF 16949 requirements with the actual findings, using objective evidence and clear, color-coded language to highlight areas of compliance, need for improvement, or noncompliance.
