Why implement a quality management system?
In the automotive industry, where global competition is fierce, quality is of paramount importance. Sacrificing quality leads to higher costs, thereby undermining profitability and reputation. Quality in the automotive sector even has its own standard: IATF 16949, covering the design, development, production, installation, and maintenance of automotive parts. It is very often a prerequisite in calls for bids.
