I have a question. If a company has the 16949 certification do they have to upload their current quality standards/results as I understood they did previously.
I want to choose a supplier who states they have the standard so I want to find their data. The company is called C*** in China.
Should trainer be certified with IATF certification body?
I understand the company vying for IATF 16949 certification need to show competence on the 5 core quality tools. Does it mean that the trainer of these tools should be certified to any IATF body offering the training?
Or can a well experienced quality professional do the training making sure the company staff are competent to these 5 core tools. I see no clause in requiring the trainer's qualification in the 16948 standard hence I believe it is OK not to be trained from a trainer from any IATF body.
Performing IATF 16949 audits
Can an ISO 9001 certified auditor perform IATF16949 audits (assuming that the auditor is knowledgeable on the IATF requirements), was geared towards whether any performed audits would be considered valid by a accreditation body.
IATF Requirements
I work in an automotive plant as Document Control and Lead IATF Auditor(which I am new at) Question: When components come into the is it a requirement to have measurements done on them or can it just be a visual inspection?
File storage of embedded software source code
What are the IATF requirements and/or industry standard for storing source code files? For example, I was "told" that using external web-based storage sites such as GIT are not good practice for automotive industry. What are the big automotive companies doing for this?

What is the stand on IATF 16949 for companies developing software that goes into the vehicle at application layer - either as a Tier 1 or Tier 2. Not always embeeded on a hardware, but sometimes may be run inside a compute environment ? (Eg : Infotainment Applications) Any ideas ?
Certification for IATF 16949 Section 8.3 (Design and Development of Products)
My companies manufacturing plant is certified to IATF 16949 with the section 8.3 exception. Typically we are a design to print company. However, we are currently working on some products that are internally designed and developed. We are now thinking we would like to get certified for Section 8.3. Do you have any Checklists specific to section 8.3 or anything that help me prepare for an audit for section 8.3?
