The pandemic has changed drastically the landscape of how businesses operate. Whilst SGS continues to offer on-site IATF audits where possible, the use of remote auditing solutions, in specific conditions, allows us to assess the continued effectiveness of the Quality Management System to the requirements of IATF 16949 during this extraordinary period. Technological solutions allow SGS to conduct audits partially or completely off site, using mobile and desktop applications to link users in real time to auditing experts.
Objectives
This webinar will introduce the concept of remote auditing in the framework of the IATF certification. We describe the approach of ICT use to ensure remote auditing activities necessary during COVID-19 restrictions do not compromise the integrity of the monitoring process.
