Why this kit exists

IATF 16949 cannot be drafted from a blank page.

The ISO 9001:2015 structure plus dense automotive requirements: APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, SPC, CSRs.

ISO 9001 gap

ISO 9001 templates are not enough

They ignore PPAP, APQP, FMEA, control plans, series production and CSRs: most of the IATF differential.

Third-party audit

IATF audits are strict

Auditors qualified under IATF rules. A major nonconformity not closed on time can lead to certificate suspension.

OEM prerequisite

Automakers require IATF

Without valid certification, no nomination on new vehicle programs, then removal from the supplier panel.

$15,000 to $35,000

A consulting engagement is costly

20 to 60 consultant days depending on site size. The kit provides the written base, your budget goes to Core Tools on the floor.

Clause-by-clause mapping

Every IATF 16949 requirement → one document in the kit.

Section by section, the normative text and the documents provided. This is what an IATF third-party auditor asks to see first.
