What is QS 9000?
The
goal for Quality System Requirements
QS-9000 is the development of fundamental quality systems that provide for
continuous improvement, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of
variation and waste in the supply chain.
Purpose
QS-9000
defines the fundamental quality system expectations of Chrysler, Ford, General
Motors, Truck Manufacturers and other subscribing companies for internal and
external suppliers of production and service parts and materials. These companies are committed to working
with suppliers to ensure customer satisfaction beginning with conformance to
quality requirements , and continuing with reduction of variation and waste to
benefit the final customer, the supply base, and themselves.
Approach
QS-9000
is a harmonization of Chryslerís Supplier
Quality Assurance Manual, Fordís Q-101
Quality System Standard, and General Motorsí NAO Targets for Excellence, with input from the Truck
Manufacturers. ISO 9001: 1994 Section 4
has been adopted as the foundation for QS-9000.
Applicability
QS-9000
applies to all internal and external supplier sites of: a)production materials,
b) production or service parts, or c)heat treating, painting, plating or other
finishing services directly to OEM customers subscribing to this document.
Implementation
Chrysler,
Ford, General Motors, the Truck Manufacturers and the other subscribing
companies require that suppliers establish, document, and implement effective
quality systems based on QS-9000 in
accordance with timing requirements established by their customers. All requirements of QS-9000
are to be incorporated in the supplierís quality system and
described in the supplierís quality manual.
