If a company in the automotive industry wants to keep and satisfy its customers, the products and services must meet their expectations. The ISO TS 16949 Automotive Quality Management System standard is a standard used to meet and exceed these expectations. In the event that all business processes are made in compliance with these standard principles and the activities are carried out in accordance with these standards, the expectations of the customers are answered. Today, all major car manufacturers work with suppliers that have ISO TS 16949 Automotive Quality Management System Certification. ISO TS 16949 is the only standard in the automotive industry that is recognized worldwide by all active organizations in the supply chain. Today, the automotive sector plays a key role for the developed and even developing countries. A strong automotive sector stands out as one of the common characteristics of industrialized countries. The main reason why the automotive sector is so important is its close relationship with other sectors. The automotive sector benefits from the production of many other sectors; iron and steel, glass, plastics, textiles, electronics and electricity. In addition to this, the automotive sector, with its production, also determines the efficient functioning of some sectors. Construction, tourism and agriculture sectors can be given as examples. It is also known that the automotive sector contributes to the defense sector and indirectly to the national security of the country.
Before ISO TS 16949 Automotive Quality Management System is established in the company, it is useful to obtain a copy of the standard. In the meantime, it is useful to benefit from publications that support the understanding, implementation and documentation of a quality management system. A team should then be set up to establish the system and a roadmap to be followed. Meanwhile, senior management support must be provided. A training program should be organized to inform all employees including the senior management about the system requirements. The next step, as with all quality systems, is the preparation of a Quality Manual. This book outlines what the company produces, what its purpose is, how the standard is applied and how things are done. At the same time, implementation instructions, work processes, job descriptions and other documents to support the execution of the activities should be prepared.
The company is now ready to receive documents.
