The new IATF 16949: 2016 has adopted the risk-based thinking to enhance the process approach in the planning and implementation of an effective automotive quality management system. The inclusion of risk-based thinking changes the ways of how we plan and conduct audits.

Process Approach with Risk-Based Thinking auditing technique is the new paradigm in the audit arena. This unique approach emphasizes the need for auditors to look for effectiveness of processes rather than departmental procedure conformity.
