IATF 16949 Quality Management System Planning

Problem

Automotive quality management system planning often spans standard clauses, customer-specific requirements, product safety, process methodology, and document numbering. Without a structured workflow, organizations can end up copying standards directly, producing documents disconnected from real processes, or scrambling before third-party audits. This skill helps companies building an IATF 16949 system, preparing for certification audits, or optimizing key processes by turning planning into confirmed, reviewable steps.

How It Works

The skill uses a mandatory interactive flow. It first checks enterprise-info.json for a saved enterprise profile, then collects and confirms baseline data plus automotive-specific items such as CSR, product safety, embedded software, the maturity of the Six Core Tools, and multi-site scope. After confirmation, it identifies COP, SP, and MP processes using the IATF process approach and analyzes each with a six-box turtle diagram covering inputs, outputs, resources, people, methods, and performance.

Core capabilities include:
- Standard interpretation: supports applying IATF 16949:2016 Clauses 4–10 and automotive supplements.
- Document generation: generates quality manuals, procedures, work instructions, and form templates from confirmed outlines and numbering rules.
- Process-derived documents: procedures are derived from 19 identified processes; APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC, MSA, and control plans are embedded as methods in relevant processes.
- Audit support: helps plan internal audits, prepare management review inputs, and track nonconformity closure.

Boundaries

The skill is intended for system planning, document architecture, and audit preparation. It does not replace official standard text, certification body decisions, or company-specific process validation. Templates must be completed with actual products, organization, and customer requirements; pending items should be resolved promptly. Formal audits should rely on official published standards and certification requirements.
