The new Automotive Quality Management System requirements have been rebranded as IATF 16949:2016 (formerly ISO/TS 16949:2009). Although the ISO 9001 requirements have been removed from IATF 16949 and are published as a separate ISO standard, IATF 16949 is not a stand-alone standard and must be used in conjunction with ISO 9001, so Omnex is continuing to offer courses that cover both the ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 requirements.

This course is designed for Quality Assurance Managers, IATF 16949 Implementation and/or Transition Team Members, and Management Representatives.
