TS 16949 becoming automotive standard of choice

Not surprising. No refund, even if we screw up.

My experiences with the ASQC are quite similar. Things like this are why I have little respect for the ASQC or the AIAG. They're as bad as car salesmen.

This site TS16949, it´s so interesting. But What is the future? What´s the way? ISO 9000:2000, QS9000, or TS16949
Let me get my crystal ball out... The answer is.... QS and 16949 are not that much different. 16949 will probably win because I suspect the auto makers would like to phase out QS support and things are 'becoming more global' with consideration to some national requirements like VDA6.1 (and the rest of the VDA series, for thqat matter).
 
Thanks for helping me Marc, this topic (ISO 16949) its new to me.
Where I can Get the latest copy of this standar?. 16949 its a official ISO document?
is it in development?
 
You can get it, as Marc states, from AIAG. You can also get it from ASQ or ANSI. AIAG offers the whole thing (customer requirements, etc.), but, except for the standard itself, nothing else is published. You just have to wait until they publish the rest of it. When will it be published? The last I heard was 4th quarter 1999! We'll see...
 
I have just received a copy of a communique from IATF which I received through Renault and PSA( Peugot and Citroen).
15 oct 1999 launch
" compilance with ISO/TS 16949 ..... is accepted as the international equivalent by IATF participating organisations..."

Please e-mail me with a fax number and I will send to anyone interested the full communique.
 
Howard:

FAX me a copy if you will, please. Or Scan & e-mail.

Howard,

I've just read your post in the ISO16949 forum and would be interested in getting the entire communiqué.

I've been working with my quality systems manager, towards QS9000, but I'm trying to get some buy-in towards ISO 16949. We are presently ISO 9001 and looking to go to QS 9000, or similar in the next couple of years. The more backing I can get from the big-boys (Big 3, Renault, etc,) the better.

The work you guys are doing on this forum has been really useful in getting us to the stage we are. I really appreciate the information you pass on.

Howard - please e-mail the announcement to me as well. I imagine it won't be too long before we get something more official from the Big 3 as well.
 
Howard scanned and e-mailed it (faster than FedEx!!!) and it is posted at The Cayman pdf Files Zone as IATF.gif and IATF.PCX

My thanks, Howard!
