All certifications
In this sector in particular, it is essential that certain requirements are met throughout the entire supply chain. This not only improves product quality, but also contributes to process optimization. Based on ISO 9001, IATF 16949 is specially tailored to the additional requirements of the automotive industry. The focus is on continuous improvement and the avoidance of errors. Therefore, it is common practice for vehicle manufacturers to demand that their suppliers are certified to IATF 16949 before they can start working for the manufacturer.

- Increased customer satisfaction
- Introduction of a continuous improvement process – using key performance indicators in all processes
- Error prevention as early as the planning phase of new projects
- Reduction of waste in the supply chain
- Systematization and structuring of processes in the organization
