I,m confused. Is the Qs9000 being replaced by TS 16949 or is it a new Cert. I'm already ISO1994, QS9000 & TE. Do I really need another piece of paper?

I believe that's the idea but right now they're calling it an 'alturnative' to QS...

See http://Elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=2806 for some thoughts.

Is the second edition of ISO/TS16949 still going to require the GM customer-Specific Requirements(4/99)
:confused:

I would venture to say that none of the big three will abandon their specific requirements. Ford won't let go of its QOS and Q1 program. GM will not abandon their GM-9000 (aka Targets for Excellence) and Chrysler - well, Chrysler --- who knows...
