IATF 16949 is the quality management system standard for automotive OEMs and their suppliers, built on ISO 9001 and focused on defect prevention, variation reduction and waste elimination in the supply chain. For companies producing welded automotive parts (chassis components, exhaust systems, seat frames) we address it together with welding process control (CQI-15 welding system assessment).
Scope
