ISO/TS 16949 QMS defines the quality management system requirements for the design and development, production and, when relevant, installation and service of automotive related products. ISO/TS 16949 QMS technical specification is applicable to sites of the organization where customer specified parts, for production and/or service, are manufactured.
The goal of ISO/TS 16949 QMS standard is the development of a quality management system that provides for continual improvement, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain.
ISO/TS 16949 QMS differs from other ISO standards in two important ways: it is restricted to automotive companies and their suppliers; and it requires compliance with a customer's requirements worldwide, not just regionally.
ISO/TS 16949:2002 QMS was developed by a partnership comprising the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) and the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA), with the support of ISO technical committee ISO/TC 176, which is responsible for the ISO 9000 family of quality management standards.
