I'm familiar with the "IATF Guidance to ISO/TS 16949:2002." Is that a different document?

This is a step-by-step implemetation process for TS2, and, yes it is only available to members of AIAG.

I got the announcement email from AIAG over the weekend. I guess I'll have to get a copy and check it out...

Actually, this Guide is available to anyone. I just got it today and we are not AIAG Members. To download it from their web site you need to be a member. Hardcopies are what you get if you're not a member.

As far as it being usefull, that depends entirely on where in the adaptation process you are. If you've been working on conversion for a while it may not be what you are looking for. On the other hand if you are just starting it is probably very helpfull. (Sorry for the mixed signals, but it all depends on your system.)

Guide is for members Only / Tool is Free

I tried to get the Guide and it is not downloadable unless you are an AIAG member. Only the Process Tool is free and downloadable for anyone.
I think the AIAG membership pricing is outrageous and the non-member pricing is robbery. My company can't justify the membership fees.

Flyer...

can't download flyer

Ken,
I can't download the attachment. But, I did receive a flyer from the AIAG and it might be the same one. Still, I have tried and the AIAG will not let me download the Guide.

Thanks,
Lee

They are currently having problems with downloading the guide. Should be available on Monday.

As I do contract auditing for a registrar that is a member of AIAG, I was able to get an electronic copy of it. I have only this morning had a chance to skim through it (it's 207 pages long!). My impression is that it's an excellent reference to be able to identify differences in focus and requirements from QS-9000 to TS. It has two crossover matrices correlating QS-9000 and TS requirements that allows a quick reference of changed requirements.
