ISO/TS 16949
Automotive manufacturing organisations must now comply with ISO/TS 16949:2002, and with the current automotive certification (QS9000) being made ‘obsolete’ at the end of 2006, there is a major emphasis being placed on the implementation of a ISO/TS 16949 Quality Management System.

Already, the delay from companies in starting to implement the system, and the lack of qualified third party external auditors, is having a big impact on companies meeting this target implementation deadline.

Applicable organisations (who are not yet ISO/TS 16949 registered) must either;

• Implement the system because they have no current automotive certification (QS 9000 etc)
• Transform their current QS 9000 – 3rd edition Quality Management System to ISO/TS 16949:2002.

Our Team
Our associates have extensive knowledge and expertise within the automotive sector, and clearly understand the change in philosophy and transition from an ‘element based’ (QS 9000) to a ‘process approach’ (ISO/TS 16949) Quality Management System.

Our Services and Support
We have successfully undertaken full implementation of ISO/TS 16949, and have also provided ‘ad-hoc’ support to guide companies through to registration.
So whatever your requirements, we can provide the following services;

• Implement the system in accordance to the amount of work you want us to undertake.
• Support you through the accreditation process.
• Provide formal training (fully certified), and informal training sessions.
• Advise you on different proven ‘tools and techniques’ to achieve registration, and ongoing improvement.
• Develop your current manual, procedures and documentation.
• Carry out ‘gap analysis’ and internal audits.
• Provide ongoing support after registration.
