For suppliers, certification according to IATF 16949:2016 is an important prerequisite to participate in the automotive industry supply chain (OEM, tier 1, tier 2, tier 3). Small and medium-sized companies in particular often struggle with the complexity of automotive quality requirements. In particular, the development procedures, release, risk management and other regulations require a solid construction of the quality management system. Rapidly changing technological developments (e.g., electric driving, driver assistance systems, self-driving vehicles) require adaptive capacity of companies and their systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;-24px|auto||auto||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;12px|||18px||&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Quality Management<\/h2>\n<p>Often, quality management systems according to ISO 9001 have been implemented in the past without paying much attention to the effectiveness of the content. Development, production and inspection processes are often based on internal knowledge and experience. With increasing demands from the market, legislation and technological development, systems are becoming increasingly complex. In addition, quality management systems are maintained because the customer demands it.  <br \/>Not infrequently, companies become active only a few months before the upcoming re-certification audit and bring the required documents and data back up to date. The requirements of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.symbol.nl\/en\/consultancy\/quality-management-2\/\">IATF 16949<\/a> do not permit this mode of operation.
