Internal Auditing to ISO/TS 16949

New process approach

The new ISO/TS 16949 audit approach focuses on process effectiveness. You will learn the difference between auditing to the clauses of the QS9000 standard and process auditing for ISO/TS 16949.

Ask the right type of questions

You will learn the type of questions to ask and information needed to determine process and system effectiveness. ISO/TS 16949 audits must go beyond determining if people are following instructions. It is necessary to find out if the customer requirements are being met.

Common problem

A common problem found by outside auditors is the internal audits are clause focused and not to determine process and system effectiveness in addressing customer needs. This is a reflection of improper auditor training.

Auditor competence

Help your company stay in compliance with IS0/TS 16949 and satisfy your customers' requirements.

Internal audits properly conducted and documented can save your company time, money, and certification board findings.

This dynamic seminar is an interactive learning opportunity.

Best auditing class I've taken! Most the auditing classes bored me stiff.
The guy from QPA kept my attention by using real-life examples that he had experienced.

Auditors’ Checklist

I have a comprehensive process-based auditing checklist for ISO/TS 16949. This checklist has been used for certification audits and internal audits. It covers all the automotive processes in companies beginning with customers' requests for quotes and going through to packaging and shipping the order.

I added blank template pages so you can add more processes or questions that you want. The checklist is nearly 400 pages and covers everything needed to pass certification and surveillance audits. The checklist is also the lowest priced one I found and twice as comprehensive.

If you want an ISO 9001:2000 process-based checklist, I have that also. The ISO 9001 checklist has nearly 230 pages covering every common process. The ISO 9001 checklist is the best bargain around at $49.95.
