Tier-1 auto supplier reaches IATF 16949 in 8 months

The Challenge

The client had grown rapidly from a domestic supplier to a global OEM tier-1 vendor. Their existing ISO 9001 QMS could not meet automotive OEM expectations around APQP, PPAP, FMEA, defect prevention and layered process audits.

Our Solution

LIS deployed a two-consultant team on-site for 8 months. We ran an initial gap analysis, rebuilt the QMS around automotive core tools, trained internal auditors, and drove a company-wide culture of defect prevention with daily gemba walks.

The Outcome

Certified to IATF 16949 with zero major non-conformities, enabling qualification with three additional OEMs.
