Why are ISO Standards important in the Automotive Industry?

ISO standards are important to the automotive industry, but how exactly do they fit into the picture?

In the automotive industry, there is much pressure to get products out quickly and cheaply. This means that companies need to have standards to maintain quality. A standard can help ensure that all members of an industry are working from the same playbook.

it requires a very high level of quality control and management to ensure that products are delivered as they should be to customers around the globe. Therefore, various organisations have developed standards that help maintain high-quality control levels during production processes. These standards include ISO 27001, ISO 9001, TISAX®:  and IATF 16949, among others.

• ISO 27001: A standard for information security management systems (ISMS) that helps organisations manage their risks related to IT security threats. It's important because it helps you identify potential vulnerabilities before they become problems.
• TISAX®: An automotive industry-specific standard that defines how companies should handle their suppliers (called Tier 1 suppliers). It helps you reduce risk by ensuring that your suppliers meet specific addresses so your products can be delivered safely and on time every time. It is recommended that an organisation achieves ISO 27001 before TISAX® as they are closely aligned to help you build information and supply chain resilience.
• ISO 9001: A quality management system standard that focuses on procedures and processes related to product or service development and delivery, ensuring that all employees have access to a standardised process for quality control throughout production. This helps you identify potential issues before they become problems so you can fix them before they affect your bottom line. 
• IATF 16949: An international standard for vehicle manufacturing operations which will help improve efficiency across the entire automotive supply chain by providing guidance on quality management systems. IATF 16949 is based on the ISO 9001 requirements meaning that it must be implemented in conjunction with ISO 9001. 
• Implementing these standards ensures that the vehicles produced are safe, reliable, and up to the highest standards, making it crucial that organisations follow international standards.

What challenges does the automotive sector face, and what are the solutions?

The automotive industry is one of the most important industries in the world, but it faces many challenges when it comes to ensuring quality systems and consistency. 

One of the challenges faced by the automotive sector is that it is highly regulated, and many important requirements must be met for ISO certification. This can include internal processes, vehicle safety, quality control or purchasing standards. The most common solution to this challenge is a systematised approach to ISO audits, which uses specialised software that enables companies to track conformity throughout their supply chain; AvISO is on hand for support.
