• Based on Supplier data and similar data from other
OEM’s, the IAOB Steering Committee and Board of
Directors recognized the need to create a workshop
to both help develop suppliers while addressing
significant issues that impacted their site.
• The IAOB Board of Directors approved funding this
new workshop.
Intervention Workshop
The purpose is to support the development and validation of a workshop
approach to address current needs in the automotive industry. Automotive
suppliers are ISO/TS 16949 or IATF 16949 compliant. Yet, non-conforming
errors still occur. WHY?
• Is class room training effective?
Intervention Workshop
The Core Focus of the Workshop:
• To perform a reverse PFMEA of the issue by taking the plant team and walking the
factory line, verifying PFMEA is correct and up-to-date.
• The team will check the PCP to ensure it matches the PFMEA; ensuring the PCP
frequency of checks is adequate to keep a nonconforming part from leaving the
plant.
• The team will then verify Standard Work is correct and clear on how to perform the
PCP checks.
This Workshop takes a hands-on approach to addressing a real problem at
the source. The activity teaches the team how to become effective problem
solvers.

Common questions …
• Must we use both ISO 9001:2015 and IATF
16949:2016 when conducting audits?
• ANSWER: Yes, as it states in the IATF 16949 Foreword
– Automotive QMS Standard, IATF 16949 is not a stand-
alone standard, it must be used in conjunction with ISO
9001:2015
© 2017 - International Automotive Oversight Bureau
Common questions …
• Will the IATF be granting waivers for those
organizations who cannot meet the Transition
Plan timing?
• ANSWER: No, from 1st October 2017 onward, all
audits are required to be conducted to IATF 16949
• There are no plans to approve/grant waivers
• ISO/TS 16949 certificates are not valid past their
expiry or 14th September 2018, whichever occurs first.
© 2017 - International Automotive Oversight Bureau
Common questions …
• What about competency for internal auditors and
second-party auditors? Do they have to all take an
IATF-sanctioned lead auditor training course?
• ANSWER: No. Organizations are responsible for
ensuring key personnel, including their auditors, are
properly trained and competent. The IATF supports the
use of IATF-recognized training providers; however, the
IATF does NOT mandate the use of a lead auditor
training course for all auditors in the organization.
• Organizations are still allowed to have key personnel

trained and certified as lead auditors, and then using
Common questions …
• What is the goal of 8.4.2.3? Do all organizations
supplying automotive product have to be IATF
16949 certified?
• ANSWER: As stated in 8.4.2.3, the ultimate objective is
to have IATF 16949 certification; however, the IATF
recognizes that for various reasons, that is not feasible
for all organizations.
• At a minimum, the expectation is for organizations to be
certified to ISO 9001:2015, unless otherwise authorized

by the organization’s customer(s)
Common questions …
• Do all of my support locations need to be audited to
IATF 16949 before the mfg locations can transition
to IATF 16949?
• ANSWER: No. Please see the IATF 16949 Transition Strategy
document. The Transition Strategy supplements Rules 5th Edition
(and any SIs or FAQs related to Rules):
