IATF 16949:2016 Lead Auditor

Open Courses > Quality Compliance Courses

Introduction

Auditing a Quality Management System is a prime mechanism for identifying and developing improvement opportunities, but that can only happen if the audit process is focused on capability and effectiveness.  With Continual Improvement being one of the key Quality Management Principles of ISO 9001, internal auditing goes beyond compliance and becomes one of the key drivers of business improvement.  This course based around the QMS Lead Auditor Training course focuses in on IATF 16949:2016 requirements for the Automotive Industry.

The aim of this five day course is to provide a greater understanding on leading audits for Quality Management Systems and is designed to teach individuals to fully reflect the concepts and requirements of IATF 16949:2016 in their approach for internal and external auditing.
