They certainly are still doing the Q1 program. There are several components to Q1, including a self-survey of your system to Q101 and various performance scores fed by your customer plants.
They still require operation of QOS. My major Ford-selling client doesn't hear much from Ford about it, though.
One thing I will speculate on: The last time Ford went on a tear to reduce supplier base, they used QOS measurements as one of the ways to evaluate the suppliers' management capability. They are starting a big supplier reduction now. I wonder whether they will ask to see the QOS data again? Does anyone know??? This made lots of Ford suppliers really tune up their QOS implementation... and brought benefits as a result.
