What is ISO/TS 16949?
• Harmonization of automotive industry
requirements.
• Developed by Automotive Task Force(IATF)
and Japan Automobile Manufacturer
Association (JAMA), supported by ISO/TC
176
• Established based on major industry
standard
o ISO 9001:2000
o AVSQ (Italian), EAQF (French), QS-9000 (U.S.)
and VDA6.1 (German) automotive catalogs

What is Audit?
• A ‘check and balance’ process to
ensure activities are performed
in an appropriate manner.
• Usually conducted on an
independent basis.
• Objective evidence is required.

Delegate

Notes
AMS 23
Formal definition of Audit
• ‘Systematic,
independent and
documented process
for obtaining audit
evidence and
evaluating it
objectively to
determine the
extent to which
audit criteria are
fulfilled’

8.2.2 Internal audit

The organization shall conduct internal audits at planned intervals to determine whether the
quality management system
a) conforms to the planned arrangements (see 7.1), to the requirements of this International
Standard and to the quality management system requirements established by the
organization, and
b) is effectively implemented and maintained.
An audit programme shall be planned, taking into consideration the status and importance of
the processes and areas to be audited, as well as the results of previous audits. The audit
criteria, scope, frequency and methods shall be defined. Selection of auditors and conduct of
audits shall ensure objectivity and impartiality of the audit process. Auditors shall not audit
their own work.
The responsibilities and requirements for planning and conducting audits, and for reporting
results and
maintaining records (see 4.2.4) shall be defined in a documented procedure.
The management responsible for the area being audited shall ensure that actions are taken
without undue delay to eliminate detected nonconformities and their causes. Follow-up
activities shall include the verification of the actions taken and the reporting of verification
results (see 8.5.2).
NOTE See ISO 10011-1, ISO 10011-2 and ISO 10011-3 for guidance.
AMS 23
Types of audit
• 8.2.2.1 Quality management system audit
The organization shall audit its quality management
system to verify compliance with this Technical
Specification and any additional quality management
system requirements.
• 8.2.2.2 Manufacturing process audit
The organization shall audit each manufacturing process
to determine its effectiveness.
• 8.2.2.3 Product audit
The organization shall audit products at appropriate
stages of production and delivery to verify conformity to
all specified requirements, such as product dimensions,
functionality, packaging and labeling, at a defined
frequency.
Delegate
DelegateNotes
Notes
There are many approaches to analyse quality management system, product quality and
process performance. In the context of the internal audit clause, internal audit for the
organization should be independent of those having direct responsibility for the work
performed. Personnel should not audit their own work.
AMS 23
Purpose of Conducting Audit
• Looking at the overall
process
• Auditing for conformity
• Auditing for
effectiveness
• Approving Suppliers/
Subcontractors
• Assessing for
Certification
• Investigating problems
• Way of improving

What is Process Approach?
• For an organization, there may be
numerous inter-linked processes.
• The systematic identification and
management of the various processes
and the interactions between such
processes may be referred to as
“process approach” to management.

Focus on process links
• How each organization perceive a
process is unique and always different.
• DO NOT ‘nit-pick’ on process category.
Emphasize on the linkage of the
processes! DO NOT spend time
arguing how the process should be
categorized!

Delegate
DelegateNotes
Notes
AMS 23
Auditors Perspective
• Each COP in detail is complex and involve
many sub-processes performed by various
functions of the organization.
• Some of these sub-processes do NOT have
direct interface with customers.
• Depending on the nature and organization
perspective, these processes can be
classified as support and management
process.

Delegate
DelegateNotes
Notes
AMS 23
How COPs Are Described
• Description of the COP can be found
through documentation which tell ‘who
does what, when and where’:
o by graphics, e.g. flow charts
o by text, e.g. procedures
It does NOT matter how it is described!

What To Look For?
• 3 aspects
Improvement
Effectiveness
Conformance

Delegate
DelegateNotes
Notes
AMS 23
Conformance
What should What is

be done actually done
• Conformance is the basic principle.

• Compare the actual activity against
the audit criteria

Delegate
DelegateNotes
Notes
AMS 23
How To Determine
Effectiveness
• How do we know if a process is
effective?
o Ability to maintain ‘mountains’ of
documentation?
o Able to follow procedures strictly?
o Ability to produce results?
o Look at inputs or outputs?

Delegate
DelegateNotes
Notes
AMS 23
Effectiveness of process
• Effectiveness of a
process is shown by
the result it achieved
with the delivered
output. Hence, auditors
shall look at indicators/
measurable metrics to
tell is customer
requirements are met.
Delegate
DelegateNotes
Notes
AMS 23
Examples of common metrics
Process metrics
Delivery On Time Delivery -OTD
Production Yield, utilization, cycle

time, Cpk, ppm
Inspection/ test defect rate, pass ratio
Planning Delay, progress vs

plan
Delegate
DelegateNotes
Notes
AMS 23
Improvement
• Look for trends
• Compare current
results against past
results

Delegate
DelegateNotes
Notes
AMS 23
Process Analysis
• Every process has these characteristics:
o Process owner(s)
o Process is defined and if appropriate,
documented
o Process linkages/ interface of the processes
are established
o is monitored to tell the performance and is
improved if needed
o has records to show as evidence
Delegate
DelegateNotes
Notes
AMS 23
Audit by process approach
How? With Who?
(method, technique) (skill, training)
INPUT Process
Process OUTPUT
What key criteria? With What?

(measurement, assessment) (equipment, material)
Other than input, output, auditor should look at ‘who does

what’, ‘with what’, ‘how it is done’ and ‘key criteria measured’

Delegate
DelegateNotes
Notes
AMS 23
Audit by Process Approach
A process in sequence:
When auditing, look at the process from various

angle
An output of previous process becomes the

input to the next process. Processes are inter-
link!
Delegate
DelegateNotes
Notes
AMS 23
Question Auditors
Should Ask
• Who is the process owner?
• What is the purpose of your process?
• What are the inputs to your process?
• What are your process outputs?
• What type of process are you working on?
• What are the important process parameters?
• What do you measure about your process?
• What do you do with these measurements?

Delegate
DelegateNotes
Notes
AMS 23
Summary Points
• Automotive process approach audit MUST
NOT be driven by a ‘clause’ or an ’element’
driven checklist
• Purpose of checklist: an audit tool to verify
the completeness of the audit
• Audit should cover all applicable
requirements to a Customer Oriented
Process (COP) with linkages to Management
Oriented Process (MOP) & Support Oriented
Process (SOP).

references, including part numbers,
document numbers, equipment
numbers, location, etc

Example 1
• Document revision status is not clearly indicated
in visual inspection specification AQ 535 located in
dept 16, used for product inspection purpose. This
is contrary to ISO/TS 16949 clause 4.2.3 (c) and
procedure QA-P-03.
Can you identify the:

o Statement of fact & evidence?
o Location, making it easy to be found?
o Requirements violated?

Example 2
• Nonconforming parts push rods, part no.
AA589 located in department 12 has no tag
or label as identification and the supervisor
of the area has no knowledge of the
problem. Nonconforming parts are not
adequately identified. This is contrary to
ISO/TS 16949 clause 8.3 and procedure
QP-125

How To Get The Most Out Of
Internal Audit
• Must be a ‘no-blame’ culture
• Auditor and Auditee should work in partnership
• Encourage staff to reveal problem areas
• Both Auditor and Auditee should look for
improvements
• Audits must be seen as essential part of
business
• Positive terms can be used (e.g. ‘finding’ not
‘nonconformity’)
• ‘Findings’ or ‘nonconformities’ should be seen as
‘opportunity to improve’
• Must be adequate time and resources for
Auditee/Auditor to perform audit
