This standard is changing
IATF 16949 2nd Edition
2nd edition in development
The 2nd edition is being written from stakeholder feedback. IATF’s published priorities are simplification, clarity, and efficiency — while keeping the scheme effective — plus better handling of customer-specific requirements.
When it changes, how to transition, and how WCH helpsWho it is for
Automotive suppliers at every tier, including organizations transitioning from ISO 9001 or maintaining IATF certification across multiple plants.
What is at stake
Customer scorecards, PPAP, and IATF rules leave no room for a theoretical system. Miss CSRs or core tools and you lose business. WCH is repeatedly chosen because our audits and documentation survive real IATF auditors.
The WCH approach
Gap analysis against IATF and customer-specific requirements, then procedures, core tools (APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, SPC), competence, contingency planning, and a friendly but rigorous internal audit program that finds issues as Opportunities for Improvement instead of cascading NCs.
- IATF 16949 certification or recertification with zero drama
- Core tools that manufacturing actually uses
- Internal audits that IATF auditors respect
- Post-certification improvement, not a stagnant, antiquated system
