IATF 16949:2016 DEVELOPMENT

The IATF 16949 standard, developed by the Automotive Industries Action Group (AIAG) in 1999, was crafted to ensure consistent quality in the automotive supply chain with the core principle of "Commitment to Customer Satisfaction & Defect Prevention."

IATF 16949 Certification instills confidence by ensuring the presence of systematic practices that meet customer needs and expectations. Following earlier versions (ISO/TS 16949), the current version, IATF 16949:2016, was published by AIAG in 2016.

• Customer Satisfaction through systematic processes
