Why choose an IATF 16949:2016 certified supplier?
Benefits for the customer
There are many advantages. One of the basic aims is to establish quality requirements for quality management systems in companies that cooperate with the automotive industry. The most important things from the perspective of the whole organisation as well as the companies we cooperate with are:
- Improvement of the image and reliability among customers in the automotive industry but also in other industries that are already based on the IATF guidelines
- Flexible adjustment to the requirements and expectations of our customers.
- Increase in the efficiency and effectiveness of the existing quality management systems and, what’s interesting, also environmental management system since through the development of production processes we limit waste
- Improvement of the quality of our products and services
- Reduction of losses in the supply chain
- Implementation of the process for the analytical establishment of casual connections of the occurrence of product faults and taking into consideration the risk factor in the analysis, the so-called FMEA.
- Implementation of fixed quality control methods
- Use of the APQP technology (i.e. Advanced Product Quality Planning) as a tool for planning, designing and developing products and processes.
As a final result, apart from the aforementioned benefits, we receive the most significant thing from the perspective of all of us, that is the increase in profitability of the conducted activity.
