标准2025BSI（英国标准协会）自豪地宣布，麦格纳国际集团（Magna International）旗下设于布朗维奇堡（Castle Bromwich）的汽车零部件生产商斯塔柯（Stadco）汽车公司成为英国首家由BSI独立评定的公司，并获得了汽车质量管理体系标准IATF 16949：2016认证。
这项新标准是于2016年10月发布的，概述了有效质量管理体系（QMS）的要求。所有原始设备制造商（OEM）和全球汽车行业的供应商都应遵守此项标准。各组织必须于2018年9月14日前过渡到新标准。
BSI全球汽车专家罗伯特.布朗（Robert Brown）说：“麦格纳应该非常自豪，他们是英国第一家从BSI获得最新认证的工厂。达到这项标准对于汽车企业持续经营，提供优质产品并不断改进服务至关重要。”
“我们鼓励其他BSI客户尽早转型，BSI已经准备了一个由训练有素的资深审核员组成的团队，来帮助企业顺利过渡。”
IATF 16949是基于修订后的质量管理体系标准ISO 9001制定的。更新后的新标准包括了所有管理体系标准中使用的术语、定义、标题和文字的高级结构，使得在实施多个管理体系时更容易整合数据。新标准还鼓励应用基于风险的方法来制定防范措施，确保企业持续改进。
斯塔柯集团总经理克里斯.费舍（Chris Fisher）说：“这一成就是我们内部管理体系和质量方针的结果。我们的团队专心致志，攻坚克难地使工厂达到认证要求。确保质量排在一切业务中的优先地位，我们正在让英国区所有工厂顺利过渡到IATF标准。”
麦格纳全球业务改进和质量控制副总裁Mike Sinnaeve说：“对世界级制造业来说，至关重要的是超越客户期望，提供高质量产品。我们非常荣幸成为了英国第一家获得认证的工厂，它是我们质量承诺的铁打证明，并且它明确了行业基准。
First UK plant certified by BSI to automotive quality management standard
BSI (British Standards Institution) is proud to announce that Magna International’s Stadco facility in Castle Bromwich is the first UK facility to be independently assessed by BSI and achieve certification to the automotive quality management system standard, IATF 16949:2016.
The new standard, which was published in October 2016, outlines the requirements for an effective Quality Management System (QMS). Adhering to this standard is mandatory for all Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and suppliers in the automotive industry globally. Organizations are required to transition to the new standard by 14 September 2018.
Robert Brown, Global Automotive Specialist at BSI said: “Magna should be very proud that they are the first plant in the UK to achieve the updated certification from BSI. Achieving this standard is critical for automotive companies to continue to do business, deliver quality products and continually improve.”
“We would encourage other BSI customers to make the transition as early as possible – BSI is ready with a fully resourced team of expertly trained auditors to help make the transition as smooth as possible.”
IATF 16949 builds on the revised Quality Management Systems Standard ISO 9001. The new standard has been updated to include a high level structure featuring terms, definitions, headings and text common to all management system standards; this allows for easier integration when implementing multiple management systems. The new standard also encourages a risk-based approach to encourage preventative action and ensure continuous improvement.
“This achievement comes as a result of our internal management system and approach to quality,” said Chris Fisher Stadco Group Managing Director. “Our team is focused, and worked extremely hard to reach this certification. Ensuring quality in everything we do is a clear priority of our business and we are well on the way to having all of our UK sites successfully transitioned to the IATF standard.
“Exceeding customer satisfaction requirements and delivering high quality products are of the utmost importance to our world class manufacturing efforts,” said Mike Sinnaeve, Magna’s Global Vice President of Operational Improvement and Quality. “It is a great honour to be the first facility in the United Kingdom to be certified as it is a true testament to their commitment to quality and sets the benchmark.”
