The IATF 16949:2016 Audit Guide and Checklist provides all the information necessary for an in-depth assessment of your ISO 9001:2015 / IATF 16949:2016 Quality Management System. It was written to help auditors conduct a process based audit and stresses process effectiveness as well as compliance. The evidence-based questions start with top management and flow through the path of a generic product within an organization.

Following the 16 insightful chapters on such topics as process design, process auditing, PDCA, Turtle Diagrams, Context of the Organization and Systems Integration you can dive into the evidence-based questions. The first part of the audit examines the complete system. This includes questions about the conformity of the system to the standard along with dozens of Best Practice questions to help you better evaluate the effectiveness of the system. Questions in the second part focus on the effectiveness of the processes that are found in almost any organization, regardless of industry or sector.

This Guide covers every requirement in both ISO 9001 and IATF plus Customer Specific Requirements (GM, FORD, FCA, VW, PSA), Core Tools (APQP (2018), FMEA (2018), Control Plans, MSA, Process Capability, and PPAP) and CQI requirements (8, 9,11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, 23, 24).
