Can any one lead me to a detailed comparison of QS-9000 and ISO9000:2000? I'm aware of several detailed comparisons of ISO 9000:1994 & ISO 9000:2000; and TS-16949 & QS-9000 but I haven't been able to find any specific advice concerning what a QS registered company would need to do to comply with ISO 9000:2000. It seems to me that most, if not all, of ISO 9000:2000 requirements should be satisfied by a QS registered company. Your comments will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Last I've read on this the jury is still out on what "Transition changes" will be required in Qs due to the upgrade of 9001:1994 and 9000-2000.

That's probably why the info you are looking for is scarce to say the least.

I would think the alignment of requirements is closer now that it has been in the past.

Jim

Thanks Jim, I agree!
The approach we are going to take is to deal with ISO 14001 first (which will move us a little closer to ISO 9001:2000 due to the similar format) and see what the B3 decide about the future of QS/TS/ISO.

From what our registrar told us they don't expect QS9000 to be revised again. Rather the TS will be revised and transitioned to with QS being dropped. At least - that is what the instructor told us in the transition class, which is still only rumor.
