IATF 16949:2016 Lead Auditor Training for Automotive Quality Management Systems
Automotive IATF 16949:2016 Lead Auditor Training
To attend this training course, it is necessary to have a copy of the applicable standard or manual. If you already have one, please ensure that you bring it with you to your scheduled class. If you need to purchase a copy from Omnex, please click here
Course Duration: 5 Days - 8 Hours/day
IATF 16949:2016 is the Automotive Quality Management System standard that has been designed to be a supplement to, and used in concert with, the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System standard. IATF 16949:2016 is not a stand-alone standard, and defines the requirements above and beyond a standard ISO 9001:2015 QMS that all Automotive organizations must implement along with all applicable Customer-Specific Requirements. Omnex is offering a course that covers the requirements of both ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016.
Omnex is an Exemplar Global Certified TPECS provider for Exemplar Global QM, AU and TL Competency Units. This five-day IATF 16949 Lead Auditor training course has been developed to satisfy the Exemplar Global QM, AU and TL Examination Profiles and, as such, all attendees who successfully pass the exams during this course will achieve a Certificate of Attainment for the following competency units:
- Exemplar Global QM
- Exemplar Global AU
- Exemplar Global TL
This course was developed to cover all requirements of both the ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 standards, including the new IATF 16949 requirements for Internal and Second Party Auditors (clauses 7.2.3 and 7.2.4) regarding Core Tools and Customer-Specific Requirements. Group exercises and case studies with examples from the automotive industry will be used to develop the required auditing skills.
The auditing guidelines of ISO 19011-including the auditing process and methodologies, e. g., planning and conducting an audit, writing nonconformity statements, preparing an audit summary and report, and verifying corrective actions-and their application in the automotive process approach are covered. Auditing case studies from the automotive industry to develop skills for identifying nonconformities will be used. Techniques for leading audit teams will also be discussed.
