Introduction:
The automotive industry has become a global market. Car manufacturers and suppliers compete internationally, and recent mergers and alliances, such as DaimlerChrysler, have enhanced the internationalism of the automotive industry. Because of these developments, many suppliers need multiple registrations to various automotive standards. Some companies maintain registration to ISO 9001, QS-9000, and VDA 6.1. ISO/TS 16949, released in 1999, was developed to be an internationally harmonized standard.
American car manufacturers currently accept this new standard as an alternative to QS-9000. Will it supersede QS-9000? How does ISO/TS 16949 differ from QS-9000? How does the revision of the ISO 9001: 2000 standard influence the automotive industry? What will my company need to do?
