Quality Systems Assessment (QSA):
Based on AIAG’s (Automotive Industry Action Group) Quality System
Assessment Manual, WTG's QSA checklist is designed to promote compliance
to TS 16949 requirements and consistency; it is used to assess the quality
system of new and existing suppliers.
The new or existing supplier will be requested to complete and return
the Quality System Assessment questionnaire to your Buyer within an
agreed upon time (usually 2 weeks). The supplier is to perform this
self-assessment objectively in order to furnish the Buyer with a preliminary
overview of the supplier's company quality processes, capabilities,
procedures, etc. An emphasis will be made on the supplier's compliance
to TS 16949 requirements. TS 16949 Quality System Assessment XLS:3.1M)
