I was reading through the document on IATF website, and noticed the wording "IATF 16949:2016 is not a stand-alone quality management standard, but is implemented as a supplement to, and in conjunction with, ISO 9001:2015." In other words, to be prepared in timely manner, would it be helpful to get ISO 9001:2015 standard first and start preparing the quality manual, then when IATF 16949 comes out, then edit the manual to satisfy IATF 16949 requirement is a safer option?
Any opinions or advice?
