IATF 16949 is adopted by automakers around the world as the global procurement standard for automotive parts. -What is the IATF 16949 certification system- This is a system in which an IATF-approved third-party auditing
organization audits and registers whether an organization has properly established and operated a quality management system in accordance with IATF 16949.

Revised version Easy IATF 16949 Introduction Price including tax: 2,530 yen, A5 size, 144 pages Written by Naotoshi Omori Orders will be shipped in order of pre-order after the release date. [Book Overview] Due to technological innovations such as electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous driving, new entrants into the automotive industry are expanding, while demands for quality assurance are increasing. IATF 16949 is at the core of this standard, but many people complain that it is “strictly strict” and has too many requirements. In response to these challenges, this book was written by an author who has been at the forefront of quality assurance for many years at both automobile manufacturers and certification bodies, drawing on his extensive experience and knowledge. By avoiding technical jargon as much as possible and making extensive use of diagrams and examples, the book is designed to make even complex requirements visually and intuitively understandable.
