Description
Here is a survival strategy for suppliers to the automotive industry. With QS-9000 serving as the new harmonized quality systems requirement of internal and external suppliers for Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, as well as other automobile and truck manufacturers and assemblers, the QS-9000 Handbook is your practical guide for achieving registration.
Any company that wishes to achieve registration, must provide evidence of quality production to third-party audits of the registrar. The QS-9000 Handbook will do just that as well as show you how to document your quality systems, train personnel in quality, and improve the effectiveness of any independent quality assurance functions inside your operation.
