TS16949 - QS9000 Gap Analysis and comparison matrix

[Sharon_Noble]

Hi everyone,
New to the forum here and have recently been tasked within my company to help in a Gap analysis from QS to TS. Unfortunately I just started the position in the Quality Department and have not been an intergral part of the internal auditing process for QS. I just recently participated in an Internal Auditor course for TS 16949 (the only one in the company) so technically I am the only one certified to perform our internal audits. Can anyone help me with a basic list of the key differences between the QS standard and the TS standard. All help will be rewarded with and
Thanks!

My sentiments exactly. What does RS mean?

Welcome to the Cove, Sharon. I haven't worked in the automotive field in quite a few years so I'm no help to you - but have a look in the Auditing forum and also at the bottom of this page are links to threads that may be helpful.

Have a look at this thread, for example.

And Pilchard has some 'splainin' to do.

I have read some threads on this topic but have yet found an actual Gap analysis form that I can download (or view). If anyone on here has one could they email it to me?

Sharon, there is an 8-page matrix attached to post #7 on the thread I linked to earlier.

Sharon,
Also, AIAG publishes a booklet they list as CQI-7, titled ISO/TS 16949:2002 Implementation Guide. 200+ pages that include a comparison of QS requirements to TS, and vice versa. We used it extensively when we were upgrading our system to TS from being ISO 9001:2000 & QS-9000 registered. Good luck on your project.
