ISO TS/16949

ISO / TS 16949:2002 certification is an international standard and "technical specification" containing requirements for establishing and maintaining a quality management system for the design and development, production and installation (when relevant) and service of automobile-related products.

The 20 element structure of QS 9000 and ISO / TS 16949: 1999 is now a thing of past. The 2002 version has adopted the content and structure of ISO 9001 certification 2000, which promotes a "Process Approach" to develop, implement and improve a quality management system.

QMS has a selection of services available for automotive supplier organizations that

• Used to be registered to QS-9000 and want to upgrade to ISO/TS 16949:2002
• Used to be registered to ISO 9001:2000 and want to upgrade to ISO/TS 16949:2002
• Have never been registered before and are considering implementing an ISO/TS 16949:2002 based quality management system

If your organization used to be registered to QS-9000 / ISO 9001:2000 and wants to advance to ISO/TS 16949:2002, QMS recommends to start the transition as soon as possible. QMS believe that it's a great idea to revamp your business processes now! Assess your current system, determine what needs to be done, plan the upgrade, and implement the changes and additions. Your main goal must be to move from mere compliance to effectiveness, then on to continual improvement, resulting in optimal business performance, added value, and most importantly automotive customer satisfaction!
