Implementing IATF 16949:20 16 is one of the biggest challenges for any automotive supplier. While the standard sets out clear requirements, the reality in many organizations looks very different. Instead of a robust, process-oriented management system, too often companies end up with a set of documents that exist only to “survive the audit.” 

In this episode, our hosts Agata Lewkowska Ph.D. and Christopher Scott reveal the most common mistakes companies make—from weak process mapping to ignoring customer-specific requirements—and share how to fix them. Perfect for quality managers preparing for certification or seeking to strengthen an existing QMS. 
 

This episode is packed with practical advice and lessons learned from real audits and consulting projects. By the end, you’ll know exactly what mistakes to avoid and how to shift your approach from “audit survival” to a sustainable quality management system that truly supports your business and satisfies customers. 

If your organization is preparing for IATF certification, or if you already hold a certificate but feel your system adds little value, this episode is for you.
