Description

For organizations transitioning from ISO 9001:2000 First Edition to ISO/TS 16949:2002, this three-day course is designed to provide participants with a basic understanding of ISO/TS 16949:2002. Through individual participation and group activities, participants will gain a solid understanding of the ISO/TS 16949:2002's background, intent, and requirements. Each participant completes a gap analysis to indicate the present system's status in relationship to a compliant ISO/TS 16949:2002 quality management system. Present system status provides the foundation for a focused application of required steps to implement ISO/TS 16949:2002. These steps include: core process identification, sub-process identification, management process identification, sequence, interaction and measurement. Several tools and "take-aways" are provided to assist in the implementation process.
