IATF 16949, is on base of ISO9001 International Quality Management System, Focus on automotive industrial product design, process, installment testing and quality control, strict follows their execution standard. Which encompasses ISO 9001 certificated management regulation, with additional automotive-specific requirements. So IATF 16949 normalizes design and process in enterprise.
IATF 16949 Normalizes Design
Standardize Design Planning
- Defined Design stages and milestones
- Clear responsibility and authorities
- Risk-based thinking built in from the start
Mandatory Design Inputs & Outputs
- Making design inputs & outputs depend on Customer requirements
- Drafting Regulatory & statutory requirements
- Lessons learned from previous projects
- Risk analysis results (DFMEA / PFMEA feedback)
- Making Manufacturing feasibility (very important for die casting)
Excute Design Review, Verification & Validation
- When design reviews occur
- Who must attend
- What must be reviewed
- What records must be kept
Handle Design Change Control
- Excute formal evaluation
- Doing risk impact analysis
- Approval workflow
- Customer notification when required
IATF 16949 Normalizes Process
Process Standardization
- Making Process Flow Diagram
- PFMEA
- Handle Control Plan
Handle Risk-Based Process Control
- Execute Mandatory PFMEA
- Reduced risk and controlled
Process Validation
- Process capability studies(Cp, Cpk)
- Run-at-rate/trial production
- Production Part Approval Process(PPAP)
Maintain Continuous Improvement
- Consistent optimizes materials
- Improves and optimizes Tooling
- Optimize Process parameters
- Select superious suppliers
IATF 16949 Normalizes Design and Process In TangSheng Hardware Technology
TangSheng Hardware Technology is one of comprehensive industrial factory, which encompasses die casting process, plastic injection molding and product assembly, In order to avoid body hurt and accidents happening in steamline production, we allow our employees to do only white shift and additional overwork method.
Custom Specific Requirements Compliance
Various molds and dies design and manufacturing depends on the engineering drawing and operator operating instructions. Combine with client’s verify and design adjustment, Makes perfect mold and die for customer. Especially automotive components in IATF 16949, which endure some hash environments and worse weather, so these custom specific requirements should be complied.
Regulating Outsourced Material Inspection
Implement indispensable outsourced material and unfinished production inspection, hold strictly the quality of outsourced material. sort out good goods and defective goods. By MRP material managememt sysytem, record and trace each batch of outsourced material. access qualified supplier and best quality control risk.
Operational Planning & Control
Product process must follow FMEA, Control Plans, PPAP (Production Part Approval Process), and customer-specific requirements. Design review, process validations and audits. Drafting standard operational instruction, and distribute these execution documents to each operational stand and order the operator to execute the document and conduct the operational planning in shcedule.
Regulating Precision Cast Parts CNC Machining
Close tolerance CNC machining makes as cast zinc and aluminum die castings more accurate dimensions and fine surface finish. In automotive components, these as-cast zinc and aluminum die castings should be machined precisely, and and inspected by projector and 3 coordinate measuring machines, and handle in-process checks, first piece layouts. We equip with 4 sets of two heads of precision engraving machine to finish our car key case cover dimension position and surface finish treatment.
Engineers deliver the specific requirements of the part to the respective operational stand, and require operator to process these automotive parts with client standard. And conduct self check for cnc machined part and ensure these precision cast part high qulity. Whenever zinc or aluminum die casting, we will comply with industrial process standard IATF 16949, using IATF 16949 normalizes design and process, and handle strictly quality of products, provide high quality automotive parts.
Die Castings Surface Finish Compliance in IATF 16949
These die casting parts in automotive industry should comply with IATF 16949 standard, so the surface finish options for these die castings should reach high quality. Even though meet the requirement of functionality, durability and customer satisfication. These components maybe used in harsh environment or worse weather and require strong corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Die casting manufacturer should comply with industrial standard and customer specific requirements, conduct IATF 16949 normalizes design and process, automakers require supplier to offer high standard die castings. Common surface finish compliance for automotive components should be implemented in house testing lab.
Follow Advanced Product Quality Planning
To achieve highly effective mass production under IATF 16949, we implement process controls, continuous improvement, and strict adherence to automotive quality standards. Implement strict quality control, with some advanced inspection instruments, ensure the processed components high quality.
Ensure Products Safety Compliance
Products safety impact directly the quality of finished products, we should ensure each product is safe after these products is shipped. Especially automotive parts die casting which fits IATF 16949 standard, like interial decorative trim, safe belt buckles and lock tools. They should be safe for best user experience.
Supplier Management
Building perfect supplier chain is essential for comprehensive industrial company. Most of finished products are not produced directly in one factory, components for the finished product should be provided by multi- enterprises. When the comphensive requires a lot of qualified components, the quality of outsourced products should be controlled strictly. Supplier chain management become vital.
Traceability & Record Keeping
By the care product management system, MRP can record each batch products ingoing and outgoing in detail, and also trace to the detailed supplier and time data, make the comphrensive enterprise clear the traceability and claim. Once any defects occurred, the root reason is investigated easily.
- Pitting/Blowholes
- Scratches
- Orange Peel Texture
- Gloss Variation
- Bond testing
- Slat Fog Testing
As one of comprehensive manufacturer, the IATF 16949 normalizes design and process of the enterpise comletely. The standard quality management system ensures design standardization, handles design change control in high effective, risk-based processs control, consistent production of the high quality goods and Traceability and record keep of processed goods.
Conclusion
In summary, IATF 16949 normalizes design and process in enterprise. In die casting process, the quality management system can not only normalize and optimize the design of product in first phrase, but also standardize the process in mass production. So it can make enterprise produce consistent high quality goods at high effective.
