Role of DMS in Meeting ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949 Requirements

Quality standards like ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949 demand stringent document control, traceability, and continual improvement. A robust Document Management Software is crucial for meeting these standards effectively.

Key Requirements of ISO and IATF

• Documented information must be controlled and accessible.
• Procedures must be regularly reviewed and updated.
• Employee competence must be ensured through training.

How Document Management Software Helps

1. Centralized Document Repository
   Ensures easy access to the latest policies, procedures, and forms.
2. Controlled Document Lifecycle
   From creation to approval and archival, the entire lifecycle is managed within the Document Management.
3. Audit-Ready Records
   Instant retrieval of records simplifies compliance during ISO or IATF audits.
4. Integrated Training Management
   Employee training management software ensures teams are trained on current procedures, fulfilling competence requirements.
5. Change Management Support
   Document changes are logged and linked to CAPA and risk assessments, supporting continual improvement.

Document Version Control

Using document version control software ensures outdated or unauthorized procedures aren’t mistakenly used, which is a critical audit finding in ISO/IATF environments.
