ISO/TS 16949

ISO/TS 16949 Phaphop Management System For the car and auto parts industry

Anyone who is familiar with 2 continents is America and Europe. There will be a feeling that people on these two continents may not be able to accept it. Like what Europe does
America often comes out to talk often, often saying that things are not like that. For Europe, it is said that America is over, like the ISO 9000 standard. Will be widespread in Europe and Asia, but in America it is not as excited as it should be Because if talking about the American system, it will go to TQM, Balanced Scorecard and Six Sigma is more than if there are some things that may depend on each other, there are not many.

Speaking of standards in the automotive industry, there are giant companies in this industry, namely General Motors, Ford and Daimler Chrysler, which are Americans.
Calling Big Three or the three giants to join hands to determine what is the middle standard Because each partner has their own standards, making
Suppliers are having a headache because they are incompatible. At that time, the ISO 9000 standard came out, but all 3 giants told me not to work because it was

In the middle, too, and there is nothing that is specific to vehicles. Therefore set the QS 9000 standard to be the specific specification used together with ISO 9000 in 1994

But later in 2002, the industry standard was issued under the name ISO 16949 – Quality Management System Requirements. Only for applying ISO 9000: 2000 to organizations that produce cars. And car part ( Quality Management System Particular
requirements for the application of ISO 9000:2000 for automotive production and relevant service part organizations )

What the organization that is the supplier or supplier of the general car industry must follow this standard.


– Prepare quality manuals
– Document control
– control the record
– Management must show commitment
– Focus on customer
– Set quality policy
– Set quality objectives
– Planning the quality management system
– Determining responsibility, authority and communication

– Internal communication


– Management review meeting
– Provide resources
– Create competencies, consciousness and personnel training
– Build skills in product design
– motivate employees and delegation
– Provide basic utilities (may use that infrastructure)


– Provide a good working environment

When you study this standard, you can see that there are statistical details. And many engineering departments Is a rather difficult standard


This standard has important tools that you need to know and use. They are called Core Tools that contain

APQP – Advanced Product Quality Planning
FMEA – Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
MSA – Measurement System Analysis
PPAP – Production Part Approval Process
SPC – Statistical Process Control
