ADVANTAGES OF IMPLEMENTING IATF 16949 QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

Аннотация

IATF 16949 (formerly IATF 16949) is an international industry standard and technical specification. The standard describes the requirements for the quality management systems of companies involved in the design, development, production, installation and maintenance ofautomotiveproducts. Keywords:IATF 16949,product, quality, enterprise, standard. Relevance of the topic: the increasing share of the automotive industry in the national economy and industrial production, the automotive industry being the most competitive industry in the world, radical quality improvement to ensure competitiveness (70% of the value and quality of a car is created at enterprises supplying components), the expansion of the geographical location of the automotive industry (cars are produced in the cities of Asaka, Samarkand, Khorezm, Tashkent), the competitive environment in the automotive industry requires the introductionof modern quality management requirements andcertification: -reduce supply chain costs; -introduction ofinternational quality management requirements; -continuous improvement ofthe qualitymanagement system and rational use ofresources [1]. The rapid development of the automotive industry in Uzbekistan is mainly due to the launch of joint ventures and the expansion of their activities. The number of such enterprises is increasing day by day, and talented young people of our country are working in them. The requirements for products and production itself are considered “normal” requirements for auto giants. These requirements are mainly reflected in their internal quality standards for automobile production andcompliance with international standards. Currently, more than 1,500 enterprises in the republic have developed and implemented quality management systems that comply with international standards at the international and national levels, and have successfully obtained certificates. The need for automobile manufacturers to comply with international standards and implement a quality system based on international standards, in turn, imposes a number of requirements on theircomponent suppliers. The implementation ofthe requirements ofthe international standard IATF16949:2009 anditsadditional guidelines was considered oneof theseproblems. Developing and implementing a quality management system based on the requirements of the international standard IATF16949:2016 is one of the most important issues facing enterprise management inorder to increasecompetitiveness and profitability. A distinctive feature of the application of IATF 16949 is the requirement for organizations to useanumber oftools: • APQP (Advanced product quality planning) - advanced product quality planning and management plan. •PPAP(Production part approval process)- Componentproduction approval process. •FMEA(Failure modeand effects analysis)- Analysis ofpotential failure modes and effects. 87 INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL FOR RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT SJIF2019:5.2222020:5.5522021:5.6372022:5.4792023:6.5632024:7,805 eISSN:2394-6334 https://www.ijmrd.in/index.php/imjrd Volume12,issue08(2025) •SPC (Statistical Process Control)-Statistical Process Control. •MSA(Measurement System Analyses) -Analysis of measurement systems. This feature was inherited by IATF 16949 from the American standard QS-9000. The most common modern methods of APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC, MSA are actually the refined methodsof theAmerican automotiveschool QS-9000. However, the use of QS-9000 methods is not mandatory and organizations may, in agreement with the consumer, use other tools that include similar requirements, such as the methods of the German AutomobileAssociation (VDA) [2]. Compliance with therequirements oftheIATF 16949standard has certain advantages. • Reduce waste and reduce defects. The implementation of this point is based on the introduction of a process approach. Thanks to its use, the enterprise is able to increase the efficiency of production processes, as a result of which the amount of defective products produced and thecost of resources andtimeare reduced. • License for trade operations. Certification is a mandatory condition of trade relations for almost all automotive companies, as this system greatly facilitates doing business, as it is recognized all over theworld. • Ease of use and flexibility. Since IATF 16949 is based on the IATF 9001 standard, it can be easily integrated with other management systems such as OHSAS 18001 and IATF 14001. As a result, implementing IATF 16949 requires much less financial and time investment, while providinggood prospects for further businessdevelopment. • Maintaining a good brand reputation. The organization's partners and customers are interested in confirming the quality of the manufacturer's products. Therefore, the presence of a certificate of compliance with the requirements of IATF 16949 leads to consistently high product quality anddemonstrates the stabilityofthesuppliercompany. • Reduce costs by eliminating the n
