PRIORITY business intelligence

The standard ISO / TS 16949:2009 concerns the development of a Quality Management System and includes the specific requirements for the implementation of ISO 9001:2008 in the automotive and auto parts production.

The additional requirements are designed to prevent deficiencies (non-compliance), to reduce disparities (from a standard specification) and reduce scrap throughout the Supply Chain.

The standard ISO / TS 16949:2009 combines all the applicable requirements of the worldwide automotive industry (VDA 6.1, AVSQ, QS-9000, EAQF) for Quality Management Systems and is recognized by the American and European automakers.
