TS16949 system
The International Organization for Standardization announced an industry quality system requirement in March 2002. Its full name is "Quality Management System-Special Requirements for the Implementation of ISO9001: 2000 for the Organization of Production Parts and Related Service Parts in the Automotive Industry". ISO / TS16949. Now let's understand the concept of TS16949 from five aspects: background, goal, meaning, content, and implementation method.
I. Background of ISO / TS16949
As one of the two major bases for automobile production, the three major American automobile companies (GM, Ford, and Chrysler) began to adopt QS-9000 as their supplier's unified quality management system standard in 1994; meanwhile, another production base, Europe also Released corresponding quality management system standards, such as VDA6.1, AVSQ94, EAQF, etc. Because American or European auto parts suppliers provide products to major OEMs at the same time, this requires them to meet both QS-9000 and European quality management systems, resulting in the duplication of various suppliers for different standards. Certification, which urgently requires the introduction of a set of internationally accepted quality standards for the automotive industry to meet the requirements of major OEMs at the same time. ISO / TS16949: 2002 came into being.

TS16949 system
On March 1, 2002, the ISO and IATF International Automotive Working Group announced the international automotive quality technical specification ISO / TS16949: 2002. This technical specification applies to the entire automotive industry's supply chain of parts and service parts, including complete vehicles. Factory, the 2002 version of ISO / TS16949 has taken effect, and certification work has begun.
Objectives of the ISO / TS16949 system
1. Reduce guarantees;
2. Eliminate nonconforming products on the assembly line;
3. Breakthrough improvements in product quality have been sent.
Significance of implementing ISO / TS16949 system
1. Opening up the market: ISO / TS16949: 2002 as a quality assurance symbol helps companies gain the trust of customers and gain a wider market space.
2. Improve customer satisfaction: Through the implementation of ISO / TS16949: 2002, pay attention to and meet customer requirements to improve customer satisfaction
3. Reduce costs and increase efficiency: Continue to focus on business performance and improve process performance indicators to achieve cost reduction and efficiency
4. Improve product and delivery quality: use system development and improvement methods to ensure product quality and delivery performance
Fourth, the content of the ISO / TS16949 system
The ISO / TS16949: 2002 quality management system standard has five major concerns. Through the implementation of these five major concerns, the company's operating performance is improved. The concerns include: customer requirements and expectations, defect prevention, process methods, continuous improvement, and establishment of an index system.
Five, ISO / TS16949: 2002 implementation method
1. Use a systematic approach to the planning, establishment and implementation of the ISO / TS16949: 2002 quality system to ensure that the organization meets the requirements of standards and improves operational performance.
2. Perform a gap analysis on the corporate site.
3. Implement QOS (Quality Operating System) training and carry out QOS activities.
4. Implement standard training.
5. Use a turtle chart to define the process and determine the boundaries and interrelationships of the process.
6. Discuss the detailed process flow, establish a process flow diagram, and use it as an input to program documentation.
7. Program document preparation.
8. Trial operation of the quality system, providing training on quality tools (such as APQP, FMEA, MSA, SPC, PPAP, 8D, etc.) necessary for ISO / TS16949: 2002 implementation.
9. Carry out internal audits and implement improvements.
10. Apply to the certification body for registration review to obtain ISO / TS16949: 2002 certification.
The above is the background, goal, meaning, content and implementation method of the TS16949 system. I believe that through the introduction of these five aspects, you must have a comprehensive understanding of the concept of the TS16949 quality system. TS16949 is one of the most important quality systems in the automotive industry. The automotive industry around the world needs to abide by this quality system in order to do a good job in car production management and ensure car quality.
