IATF 16949: quality in the automotive supply chain

The automotive sector sets high standards for quality, reliability and process control. Suppliers must not only comply with ISO 9001, but often also have to deal with IATF 16949, customer-specific requirements, intensive audits and strict expectations from OEMs.

In this episode of Symbol Talks, we talk to Peter Broks, consultant at Symbol and former site manager at AkzoNobel. With over twenty years of experience in operational management, automotive supply chains and quality standards, he explains what organisations need to know before they want to supply to automotive OEMs.

In addition, we discuss the transition from ISO 9001 to IATF 16949, the role of APQP, PPAP, FMEA and the core tools, and why culture, leadership and engagement on the shop floor are crucial for sustainable quality management. An interesting episode for professionals working on automotive quality, process control and continuous improvement.
