INTERNAL QUALITY AUDIT TRAINING 3 DAYS
For many years, internal audit has been a key quality management system activity; however, the approach required by ISO/TS 16949 is different from the traditional methodology. Hence, even those personnel who are experienced in carrying out quality audits will need to acquire new knowledge and skills for the ‘Automotive Process Approach’. This course includes participant assessment and a formal written test.
Course objectives: By the end of the course, a participant will:
- Be aware of the key requirements of ISO/TS 16949.
- Understand the link with ISO9001:2000
- Understand the general principles of quality auditing, and the extended auditing requirements of ISO/TS 16949.
- Be aware of Customer Specific Requirements.
Have the ability to:
- Follow a process flow.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of a process.
- Identify the potential for continual improvement.
- Prepare for, carry out, report on, and close-out, internal audits in accordance with the Automotive Process Approach.
Target audience: Personnel from all organisational functions, who will be involved in the implementation and ongoing auditing of the ISO/TS 16949 quality system. Prerequisites: Familiarity with operating within a quality management/business system including adherence to processes and procedures. Previous quality auditing experience helpful, but not essential. Participants who will be auditing the ‘core tools’, ideally, will have familiarity with these methods. If detailed training for the core tools is required, please see courses described below.
|
Important note! Some automotive customers have issued ‘Customer Specific Requirements’ (CSRs) which apply to the internal auditors amongst their suppliers. In this situation, it is necessary for the supplier to demonstrate that their internal auditors are ‘qualified’, i.e. to demonstrate compliance with the applicable CSRs. Please check whether any of these apply to your organisation. If necessary, please discuss your requirements with a training advisor from TMS Insight Limited. |
