Video 4: IATF 16949 Product Audit
About this lesson
This lesson explains the purpose and structure of Product Audits within the IATF 16949 framework. You will learn how product audits differ from routine production checks, why they must be independent, and how they verify conformity to drawings, specifications, and customer requirements at different stages of production.
The session covers product auditor competency, audit planning based on risk and performance, how to prepare and conduct a product audit, and how to document findings effectively. It also highlights how significant findings can prevent the shipment of nonconforming product and drive systemic corrective action.
