Quality

To come up to costumers and market expectations Ingremio started to provide The Quality Management System according to the latest Technical Specification, issued in the middle of 2002 - ISO TS 16949:2002.

What is the ISO/TS16949:2002?

ISO/TS 16949:2002 is an ISO Technical Specification, which aligns existing automotive quality system requirements within the global automotive industry. In conjunction with ISO 9001/9002:1994, ISO/TS 16949:2002 specifies the quality system requirements for the design/development, production, and where relevant, installation and servicing of automotive-related products. ISO/TS16949:2002 is the specification, which many vehicle manufacturers are either mandating or accepting instead of QS-9000, VDA.6, EAQF or AVSQ. It is focused on the areas of process improvement, customer satisfaction and employee motivation which need to be considered.

Who are the authors of ISO/TS 16949?

ISO/TS 16949 was written by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF). The IATF consists of an international group of vehicle manufactures including Ford, GM and Daimler Chrysler, as well as the following automotive trade associations: AIAG (America), VDA / QMC (Germany), SMMT (UK), ANFIA (Italy), CCFA and FIEV (France).

By providing the new Specification Ingremio will maintain one quality system registration to meet multiple customer quality requirements. In addition to avoiding multiple certification audits, it will help to improve product and process quality while increasing efficiency and reducing variation.

The certification date: March 2003.
