 The
Background to ISO/TS16949 courses
While Vehicle Manufacturers saw some benefit and improved
performance from their suppliers who implemented quality management
systems, the general feeling was that the ISO9000 series did
not meet their needs, as it was too vague and non-automotive
specific.
This led to the development
of automotive sector based variants of ISO9000.
In the USA, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler
developed QS-9000, which harmonised their quality system requirements
for their suppliers into one document. QS-9000, based upon
the International Standard ISO9001: 1994, is supported by
a series of support manuals, focusing on the key automotive
tools, namely Measurement System Analysis (MSA), Failure Mode
and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Advanced Product Quality Planning
(APQP), and Statistical Process Control (SPC).
