The issuance of the first version of the 16949 quality management system official document is prepared and reviewed by the International Automotive Working Group, issued by the International Organization for Standardization, and the International Automotive Working Group also became a permanent body of the International Organization for Standardization in December last year, and the International Automotive Working Group is responsible for supervising the implementation of the 16949 system by the automobile industry in various countries.

And the day after the official document of the 16949 system was issued, General Motors of the United States, Ford Motor and Chrysler Motors, three local auto giants, issued a joint statement, the three companies will officially stop the use of the original quality standards in May this year, unified use of the 16949 system standards as quality management guidelines, and require all their suppliers to produce parts in accordance with the 16949 standard, if they can not obtain the 16949 system certification before December this year, then they will be deprived of the identity of the supplier, and shall not participate in the supply chain of the three companies。

After the three American auto giants issued this joint statement, Germany, Volkswagen also issued the same statement, and subsequently, Daimler-Benz, BMW, France's Peugeot Citroen and other European automakers have also announced the adoption of the 16949 system as the standard for quality management of companies and suppliers.

In less than a week, all automobile manufacturers in Europe and the United States announced the unified use of the 16949 system as the certification standard, ending the decades-long situation that the quality certification standards in Europe and the United States are not uniform.

In Asia, Japanese and South Korean automakers, such as Toyota and Hyundai, have taken a similar approach.

Only in China, there has been no movement, and state-owned factories such as SAIC and FAW have not given a specific implementation time.

Although Tianming Automobile Company is not in a hurry to issue an external statement, announcing the specific time point of the factory construction in accordance with the 16949 quality management system, in fact, the company has begun to prepare for the construction of the 16949 system as early as December last year.

Under Zhou Jingming's training, the relevant departments of the company's three major factories have initially mastered the essence of the 16949 system, and gradually improved the production links of the factory in accordance with the relevant requirements, and under the requirements of Zhou Jingming, the construction of the 16949 system was officially started in January this year.

In fact, when the time came to March, before the International Organization for Standardization officially released the document, Tianming Automobile Company had preliminarily met the requirements of the 16949 system.

"This internal audit, by me as the audit team leader, the director of the corresponding factory as a member of the audit team, starting from tomorrow, starting from the vehicle factory, a workshop by workshop review, audit to the corresponding workshop, please workshop process department to prepare all the audit documents, and to the site to accompany, to answer the questions we raised. ”

In the conference room, Zhou Jingming is arranging the internal audit work of the 16949 system, since he proposed such a quality management system, then Tianming Automobile Company should naturally be the first to take the lead in implementing this standard.

On the domestic side, the system certification of 16949 is currently audited by the National Bureau of Standards, and the time of the audit, taking into account the existing basic level of the domestic automobile industry, the National Bureau of Standards has not made a unified time requirement, each factory can freely apply for audit time according to its own actual situation, but not later than the end of next year.

According to Zhou Jingming's plan, Tianming Automobile Company will establish a complete set of 16949 quality management system before August this year, and the review time is expected to begin in July, so before the formal review, Zhou Jingming will conduct an internal review to find out the problems existing and make targeted improvements.

"Also, once there is any problem in the internal audit process, the relevant person in charge should make improvement measures in a timely manner, complete the corresponding improvement within a time limit, and strive to pass the review at one time in the formal review link in July, is there anyone else who has a problem below?" Zhou Jingming glanced at everyone again and asked.

"If there is no problem, go back and prepare the audit materials, especially the technical documents and sampling records of the five core tools, and we must ensure that none of them are missing. Zhou Jingming finally emphasized.

After arranging this matter, Zhou Jingming simply stayed in the conference room first, carefully sorted out the minutes of the meeting just now, and the rest of the people left the conference room one after another.

"Xiao Zhou, there is something I want to mention to you. After the rest of the people were gone, Zhao Ke sat next to Zhou Jingming and said.

"Senior brother, is there anything else going on?" you say. After Zhou Jingming sorted out the minutes of the meeting, he looked at Zhao Ke and said.

"There is no problem for our company to implement the requirements of the 16949 quality management system, and I am also in favor of managing according to the requirements, but the problem is that our factory itself implements this requirement, so what about our suppliers, should they also be required according to the system standards?" Zhao Ke said.

"Of course, suppliers are also an important part of our quality management process, and they must be carried out according to this label. Zhou Jingming nodded and replied.

"The problem is here, at present, we are the only car company in China that requires the implementation of the 16949 standard, and the rest of the car manufacturers, whether it is SAIC or FAW, have no clear requirements, but many suppliers are not only for us to supply parts to a company, we force them to keep pace with us, I am afraid that some suppliers will not necessarily come according to the time node we require. Zhao Ke said worriedly.

As soon as Zhao Ke said this, Zhou Jingming couldn't help but fall into thinking, he really didn't seriously consider the situation Zhao Ke said.

The 16949 system has very high standards for quality management, and if you want to obtain such a system certification, you must need to pay a certain price.

Even if these suppliers can implement the standards of the 16949 system in accordance with the requirements of Tianming Company, the rest of the domestic automobile manufacturers and suppliers are still in accordance with the previous quality management standards, which will cause chaos in the management of the domestic automobile industry.

Automobile manufacturers in Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, are basically acting synchronously, originally Zhou Jingming also wanted to let Tianming Automobile Company take the lead in the implementation of the 16949 system, now it seems that if you do not unite the rest of the domestic car manufacturers at the same time, it will definitely not work.

"I know, I'll contact the heads of the rest of the manufacturers tomorrow to see if I can set up an organization similar to the Automotive Quality Alliance, and then act in unison to jointly establish the 16949 system. ”
