It's a GM thing - 'Quality System Basic' Training

QSB training consists of key strategies including Fast Response, Risk (RPN) Reduction, Standardized Operator Training, Standardized Work, Layered Audits, Error Proofing Verification, C.A.R.E., and Lessons Learned. The ultimate goal of General Motors is a reduction in their quality and warranty costs. By reviewing QSB strategies, suppliers will develop action items for each of the strategies to improve their processes.

QSB Fading
QSB Queen Street Backpackers (Auckland, New Zealand)
QSB Quality Systems Basics
QSB Qualified Supplemental Benefit
QSB Quantum Singleton Bound

The 3rd one looks promising, but I can't say I've ever heard "QSB" used as an abbreviation.

P.S. Looks like Harry not only beat me by a minute, but he also had a better answer.

As harry said it is a GM thing and I think that there are registered trainers.
This is the latest of the "new " tools
They are the same old things with a new name

Ha! Reminds me of a conversation I had a few years back with the UAW rep. at a certain GM plant who wanted me to develop just this type of training.............

QSB is usually required when a supplier is placed under CS-II (controled shipping level II, with third party certification of product prior to shipment to GM).

We just went through this mandated training since we are a supplier to Allison Transmission. Here are the main points. This involed a 2 day training program involving QA personnel, some managers, and most supervisors. Attendees were our choice not theirs.
------------------------------------------
NINE STRATEGIES COVERED:
1. Fast Response
2. Control of Nonconforming Product
3. Risk(RPN) Reduction
4. Standard Operator Training
5. Standardized Work
6. Layered Audits
7. Error Proofing Verification
8. C.A.R.E. (Customer Acceptance Review and Evaluation)
9. Lessons Learned
--------------------------------------------

As you can see it's some of the same old stuff with a new name. One mistake we have not made is to let them mandate our response. What makes sense to us and will truly improve the long-term revenue of the company is being implemented. We have taken a hard stand against anything which is just for the sake of the program. So far we have not had a lot of gnashing of teeth from our SQE.
:cool:

I have heard that QSB Training / Implementation will be required for all GM suppliers for the 2010 model year.

Not sure whether they will come in and perform an audit or not.

Also, the QSB class is now expanded to 3 days.

QSB is the decument that GM require the suppliers,But I don't think GM do it well itself.
I don't think this training meaningful,It's the summary of GM GMS(global manufacturing system)

Dear Sir,

Am a supplier for general motors and they asked me to be QSB certified can you help me to find a training center for this program.

Thanks,
