IATF 16949:2016 Automotive Quality Management System

IATF 16949:2016 (aligned with ISO 9001:2015) defines QMS requirements for the automotive supply chain—APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, SPC, control plans, traceability, and customer-specific requirements. It replaces ISO/TS 16949 and is mandatory for many automotive suppliers.
