ISO/TS
16494:2009 combines the effective
standards of ISO 9001:2008 with
supplementary items of how ISO
pertains to the
Automotive.
ISO/TS 16949 is the
essential ingredient in creating
an effective, efficient,
continuously improving quality
system.
About
ISO 9001
Originally published in 1987 by
the International Organization
for Standardization, ISO 9001 is
a generic quality systems
standard that specifies, in very
broad terms, the necessary
components of a quality
management system. Rather than
being specific to any one
industry, ISO 9000 details the
basic requirements of the
quality function for all
industries. ISO 9001 gives you
the tools to grow a better
business through continuous
improvement and refined
processes. The latest version of
ISO 9001 is ISO 9001:2008. Today
more than 500,000 businesses
have achieved ISO 9001
certification throughout the
world, making it by far the most
recognized symbol for quality in
the global marketplace.

About
ISO / TS 16949
ISO/TS 16949:2009 specified the
quality system requirements for
the design/development,
production, and (where relevant)
installation and servicing of
automotive-related products. The
ISO/TS 16949:2009 1st Edition
released in 1999, was based on
ISO 9001:1994. To emphasize
continuous improvement in the
supplier base, the International
Automotive Task Force later
revised the ISO/TS 16949:1999
requirements to align with the
ISO 9001:2008 framework. The new
ISO/TS 16949:2009 includes ISO
9001:2008, and successfully
harmonizes the supplier quality
system requirements of the
automakers of US, Germany,
Italy, France, Japan, Korea and
Malaysia. It details the
fundamental, sector-specific
quality systems requirements,
which sustain continuous
improvement and emphasize defect
prevention, while simultaneously
reducing the magnitude of
variation and waste in the
supply chain and encouraging
improvement in customer
satisfaction.
ISO/TS 16949:2009 focuses on an
organization's ability to
realize its stated goals as well
as achieve customer satisfaction
by delivering conforming parts
on time to customer
specification at acceptable
cost. ISO/TS 16949:2009
concentrates on the effective
linkages in the company's
business plan, quality policy,
quality objectives and measures.
The standard specifies how
objectives can be achieved and
deployed throughout the
organization.

Supplier Requirements:
Many OEM's
(Ford, GM, Chrysler, Hyundai,
Tata, Maruthi etc) are requiring
ISO/TS 16949 certification for all new
suppliers, and existing
suppliers have a gap audit and a
certification audit performed to
coincide with their existing
surveillance audit schedule.
About
ISO 14001
Protection of the environment is
one of society's key goals. A
significant increase in
environmental awareness and
stricter environmental
regulations has led many
organizations to integrate
environmental protection into
their corporate management
systems structure.
Leading corporations have been
utilizing environmental
management systems (EMS) for
years to help them reach defined
environmental objectives. Now, a
streamlined environmental
management tool is available to
all corporations in the form of
ISO 14001, an internationally
recognized environmental
management system conformance
standard. Very similar in
structure to the ISO 9001
quality management system
standard, ISO 14001 outlines key
requirements to which companies
should comply in order to
operate in an environmentally
responsible manner.
The ISO 14000 elements provide
diverse organizations a
framework for managing and
continually improving their
environmental programs. Many
companies already monitor air
and water permits, or toxic use
reduction programs. Utilizing
ISO 14001, companies can now
merge environmental programs
into one coherent system to
efficiently manage all
environmental activities.
In short, ISO 14001 can provide
your company a competitive
advantage, by demonstrating to
your customers that your
environmental processes and
impact is effectively managed,
continually improving, and part
of the corporate management
system. (See
