PQA recommends that this course is a specialized building block to an employee's job skills in the 21st century.  As such, all employees involved in or who support measurement systems should have the skill sets taught in this course, and be applying them on-the-job on a regular basis.

The techniques covered in this course will enable the trainees to recognize the needs and the issues that will need to be addressed by a company implementing ISO/TS 16949 as a tool for overall business improvement.  This course is not mandatory (but highly recommended) for companies who are only interested in ISO/TS 16949 compliance.
