Automotive Quality VoyagingQuality in AutomotiveWhat is ISO/TS 16949? The International Organization of Standards, (ISO) is a worldwide organization that develops many different kinds of standards. One of these standards, ISO 9000 is a series of documents that define the requirements of a Quality Management System Standard. ISO 9001 is one of the documents in this set that defines the actual requirements a company must comply with to become registered to ISO 9001. ISO/TS 16949:2002 is the current version of the standard that was developed for the Automotive Industry. It contains all of the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 plus several additional requirements specifically for the Automotive Industry. Why do companies want to Implement ISO/TS 16949? Registration to ISO/TS 16949 is a requirement for any company wanting to supply its products to the Automotive Industry. Companies registered to this Technical Specification are required to develop their suppliers develop their Quality Management Systems with the goal of the supplier conforming to ISO/TS 16949. The first step in this development is for the supplier to achieve third party registration to ISO 9001:2000. Where did ISO/TS 16949 come from? Beginning in 1994 with the successful launch of QS 9000 by DaimlerChrysler, Ford and GM, the Automotive OEM's recognized the increased value that could be derived from an independent quality system registration scheme and the efficiencies that could be realized in the supply chain by commonizing system requirements. Who are the IATF? The IATF is an ad hoc group of OEM's and automotive trade associations whose common goal is to improve the quality of products to automotive customers worldwide. IATF members include the Big 3, along with Fiat, Citroen, VW, Renault and national automotive trade associations from the US, Germany, UK, Italy and France. Additionally, the Japanese vehicle association, JAMA, has been involved with the IATF's efforts to develop TS 16949. Of major impact to the automotive supply base has been the recent announcements by several OEM's of deadline dates for ISO/TS 16949:2002 upgrades: Will the Process be much different that what we've seen in QS 9000? Yes! The IATF has mandated a more process-based approach to auditing, with a firmer emphasis on meeting the customer's needs. While we have always approached our audits in this manner, organizations may see some changes in methodology in order to more clearly stress the important elements of Customer Oriented Processes (COP's), including: ConsultancyDeveloping quality systems and monitoring and evaluation frameworks and a major part of our work is providing external evaluations of organisations or specific projects. How we work We aim to understand the precise needs of your organisation and to offer you good value, an integrated service, and work which is based on clear principles. Our style is inclusive, participatory and flexible. We aim to help you:
Our approach
Why does quality matter? Voluntary and community organisations want to provide the best services possible for their service users and for other stakeholders - that is, those who have an interest in what they do. As voluntary organisations work more and more with public and private sector organisations, there is also external pressure to show that they provide quality services and manage their organisations efficiently and effectively. These are some of the demands on voluntary organisations. They need to show that:
Introducing a quality system will take commitment, planning and some investment of resources, but it should help you to face these demands. Additionally, some voluntary organisations are experiencing increasing competition from other organisations offering similar services. This may be competition for grants, contracts or for clients. Attention to quality is an important way that an organisation can prepare to meet these challenges.
When the term 'quality assurance system' is used, it means a formal management system you can use to strengthen your organisation. It is intended to raise standards of work and to make sure everything is done consistently. A quality assurance system sets out expectations that a quality organisation should meet. Typically, these are the stages that organisations implementing a quality system aim to follow:
Agree on standards. These concern the performance that staff, trustees and users expect from the organisation
Carry out a self-assessment. This means that you compare how well you are doing against these expectations.
Draw up an action plan. This will include what needs to be done, who will do it, how it will be done, and when
Implement. Do the work
Review. At this stage, you check what changes have been made and whether they have made the difference you were hoping to achieve. What is ISO9001:2000? A system of controls and techniques used and recognised globally as a measure of good management practice. Who does it and why? • Companies who are being instructed to do so by existing or potential clients. What does it consist of? The new standard has significantly reduced the amount of documentation required and is far more flexible in the application of the clauses. This has been achieved by reducing the number of clauses, (though many of the requirements of the previous standard still appear as sub-clauses), however there are still 5 main clauses which must be addressed. Below is a brief synopsis of these 5 clauses: 1. Quality Management System 2. Management Responsibility 3. Resource Management 4. Product Realisation 5.

Suggestions for the global economic crisis... |
The companies lose their businesses from shrinking economy and the markets… Normaly, the companies move ahead as like jellyfish. For that reason, the companies must be launched new projects, found new markets and done new investments for move ahead in their life lines. And so, they are able to exceed this shrinking position. Otherwise, moving ahead in trading life of the companies do not become and the stagnation period starts. Subsequenlty the collapsing period comes… Considering that we are in the global market economy, now that we follow the capitalism theory… Eee then, the requirements of the system should be performed. That is to say, the commercial and getting rich must be continued. Taking social responsibility we must effectively help each-other again and this valued action should be revived. Before all else, we must claim our family and our relatives. Following, we must claim our friends and neighbours, after then without delay we must start to trade with our shared plans and projects. Our existed capital and assets have to be processed with highly productivity. So, the profit should be produced and also we must go on own way…
Up to now, in spite of a lot of strategic plan were done in our enterprises, if we did not make any profit plan, now an effective profit plan must be made with roll up sleeves. But if we have a profit plan, now it is right time to review of our profit plan.
