We just got a letter stating that our products are no longer going to be tracked for Q1 status. We are a Q1, ISO9001, QS9000,TE, and after our cert audit, recomended for ISO14001 certification. What burns me is that we do everything that is asked of us, and then are told that we can no longer fly the Q1 flag after Dec 2002. Oh well they are not our only customer and our certs help us to.

I'm not sure what this means to you. What is the implication?

Ford stated that one of the main requirements for Q1 02 for current Q1 suppliars, was ISO14001. That was about a year ago, now after the time and money is spent, we are notified that our products are not involved in Q1 anymore. We are a tooling suppliar. This means that all of the tooling shops that did not obtaine 14001 are on the same quote list as we are. By the way we were succesful in obtaining ISO 14001, but we can also use more machines.
