IATF 16949 in Shah Alam: questions clients ask
Which Selangor suppliers are asked for IATF 16949?
Those who make or process parts for vehicle makers or tier-one suppliers: stamping, machining, plastics, electronics and assembly shops. The request comes through supplier requirements, often with customer-specific additions. Read those carefully, as they decide how much of the standard and which core tools apply.
Can an ISO 9001 plant in Selangor step up to IATF 16949 easily?
It has a head start but not a free ride. IATF 16949 builds on ISO 9001 and adds product-safety, contingency planning, error-proofing, measurement-system analysis, control plans and supplier development requirements, plus customer-specific rules. A gap review shows how much work remains before an accredited body is approached.
