This standard focuses on the quality management systems for automotive production and relevant service parts organizations. It emphasizes continuous improvement, defect prevention, and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain.
ISO-9001 is an international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.
This standard provides a framework for organizations to protect the environment and respond to changing environmental conditions. It focuses on effective environmental management systems (EMS) to enhance environmental performance.
This standard is designed to improve employee safety, reduce workplace risks, and create better, safer working conditions. It provides a framework for organizations to manage occupational health and safety (OH&S) risks and opportunities.
ISO 50001 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving an energy management system (EnMS). The goal is to enable organizations to follow a systematic approach in achieving continual improvement of energy performance, including energy efficiency, energy use, and consumption.
ISO 13485 is an international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system specific to the medical device industry. It focuses on ensuring the consistent design, development, production, installation, and delivery of medical devices that meet regulatory and customer requirements.
Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) is a framework of procedures and techniques used to develop products in the automotive industry. It aims to ensure that products are designed and manufactured according to customer requirements.
The Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) is a standardized process in the automotive industry used to ensure that suppliers understand the requirements of their customers and can produce parts that meet those requirements consistently.
The Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic method for evaluating processes to identify where and how they might fail and assessing the relative impact of different failures. This helps prioritize which failures need to be addressed first.
The Seven Quality Control Tools are essential tools used in quality management. They include:
Objectives:
The Eight Disciplines (8-D) Problem Solving process is a systematic approach used to identify, correct, and eliminate recurring problems. It emphasizes teamwork and data-driven decision-making.
Objectives:
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a system for defining engineering tolerances. It communicates how parts should be manufactured and inspected based on their geometric features.
Objectives:
This refers to rapid response processes required by automotive manufacturers like PSA Group and General Motors (GM). These processes ensure quick turnaround times for product changes or issues.
Objectives:
A layered process audit is a systematic approach used by organizations like PSA Group and GM to assess compliance with processes at different levels within the organization. It ensures consistency in operations across various departments.
