Greetings all;
Could someone verify the levels of quality management system standards for me? Which came first? As I was told today, ISO 9001:2000 is "ranked" last, then QS-9000 is ranked 2nd, and TS-16949 is ranked 1st.
Engineering has asked us why we plan to register to ISO 9001:2000 instead of TS-16949. We were registered QS-9000 but it lapsed. So, we planned to register to ISO this summer.
Our customer specific requirements state that we are to be registered to TS but somehow our customers ( the big 3) okayed (possible?) our implementation plan to register ISO first, then TS next year. For some reason, I thought that QS was "old" and ISO is newer
Any comments?
