Grainger & Worrall has become one of the first UK businesses to achieve an internationally recognised automotive standard, backed by vehicle manufacturers including BMW, General Motors, FCA, Volkswagen and more.
Grainger & Worrall has announced that it has successfully achieved IATF16949 accreditation, reaching the highest standards for business systems, continual improvement, risk management and defect prevention in the supply chain.
Developed by the automotive industry specifically for suppliers, IATF16949 replaces TS16949 and outlines the requirements for an effective Quality Management System (QMS). The key to this is risk assessment, driving the organisation to learn from the many inputs it experiences, such as customer feedback, internal and external audits and improvement efforts, to provide the highest quality product and service to the customer.
Matthew Snelson, head of quality systems at Grainger & Worrall, said: “After detailed, on-site audits by Lloyds Register, we are delighted to have been awarded IATF16949 Certification and ISO9001 renewal."
“Achieving this widely recognised certification is a great reflection of the hard work and dedication of the Grainger & Worrall team, which continually pulls together to achieve significant uplifts in processes and quality systems.”
Grainger & Worrall received IATF16949 / ISO9001 certification in January 2018.
