IATF 16949
Also known as: IATF16949, automotive quality standard.
IATF 16949 is the global quality-management standard for automotive production and relevant service-part manufacturing, built on top of ISO 9001 with additional automotive-specific requirements around defect prevention, variation control, and supply-chain management.
In depth
IATF 16949 is the entry ticket to the automotive supply chain. It mandates documented, controlled, and continuously improved processes for every step that affects product quality: design FMEA, process FMEA, control plans, PPAP submissions, and documented operator training. Azumuta supports IATF 16949 compliance via versioned digital work instructions, a live skill matrix with training evidence, recurring audits, CAPA workflows, and a tamper-evident audit trail on every action.
