COURSE OVERVIEW

How confident is your organisation that its internal audits are identifying real process risks rather than simply checking documentation? Are your internal auditors equipped to evaluate IATF 16949 requirements, customer-specific requirements, automotive Core Tools and actual process effectiveness?

IATF 16949:2016 remains the current automotive Quality Management System standard, focusing on continual improvement, defect prevention, reduction of variation and waste, customer satisfaction and effective supply-chain performance. Internal auditing therefore plays an important role in verifying not only conformity, but also whether processes are effectively implemented and capable of achieving intended quality results.

This practical 2-day programme is designed to develop participants’ competency in planning, conducting, reporting and following up effective IATF 16949 internal audits. The programme incorporates the automotive process approach, risk-based thinking, customer-specific requirements (CSRs), applicable Core Tools and current audit practices, together with the latest guidance provided by ISO 19011:2026.

Participants will learn how to prepare risk-based audit plans and checklists, follow process audit trails, conduct interviews, gather objective evidence, identify process gaps and write meaningful nonconformities. Attention will also be given to the relationship between PFMEA, Control Plan, process controls, performance indicators and customer requirements when evaluating manufacturing processes. The programme also provides awareness of current IATF developments, including Rules 6th Edition and the latest applicable Sanctioned Interpretations and FAQs, helping participants remain aligned with evolving automotive audit expectations. By the end of the programme, participants will be better equipped to conduct effective, evidence-based IATF 16949 internal audits that support compliance, risk reduction, process improvement and audit readiness.
