Video 3: IATF 16949 Manufacturing Process Audit

This lesson explains how to plan and conduct effective Manufacturing Process Audits within the IATF 16949 framework. You will learn why all manufacturing processes must be audited across all shifts over a three-year cycle, including the importance of reviewing shift handovers and process risks.

The session covers how to use key documents such as the Process Flow Chart, PFMEA, and Control Plan during the audit, how to prioritize audits based on risk and performance, and how to write clear, system-focused nonconformities. It also emphasizes the need for technically competent auditors who understand the processes they are auditing.
