Hi All,
I am going on an ISO/TS16949: 2002 Lead Auditor Training for first and second party auditors run by SMMTIF at Birmingham England.
Has anybody been on this course and what was it like, what was the test at the end like? Any info would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter.
Hello Shihan,
I can only speak from my experience with AIAG (Plexus).
Here are some tips:
1. Familiarize yourself with the requirements of ISO/TS 16949:2002 including the SI's and FAQ's (
www.iaob.org).
2. Familiarize yourself with the "Rules 2nd Ed" including SI's and FAQ's.
3. Be able to navigate through the five AIAG Core Tools. My exam included questions about core tools.
4. I'm pretty sure that your training will include Octopus and Turtle diagrams. There are a lot of good references here on The Cove.
5. Explore the automotive process approach to auditing.
You're going to be very busy during your training. You'll have quite a few "home work" assignments.
That's about it. I'm sure you'll hear from others here at The Cove.
They'll chime in, trust me......
Good Luck with your training.
Stijloor.
