Choose the right perspective
Match the person's industry to yours, since automotive IATF 16949 systems differ from medical device systems built around ISO 13485 and FDA rules. Also consider whether you need site-level experience or corporate quality systems leadership across many plants, and check whether the person's role is current.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you prepare a plant for its first IATF 16949, ISO 9001 or ISO 13485 certification audit?
- 02How do you keep a quality management system alive between audits instead of treating it as paperwork?
- 03How do you harmonize quality systems across several sites with different histories?
