I was recently shown an e-mail from GM to - well, someone who prefers not to be cited as the source - which states GM will soon be requiring a switch from QS-9000 to TS 16949. As I understood it we're looking at a year - not much more.

Has anyone else heard this or seen anything?

From a just received e-mail:

Anyone else hearing these 'rumours'?

BSI has informed us that QS9000 will continue to use ISO9000/1994 as its base. That being said, we still intend to change up to ISO9000/2000 with appropriate relevant references to the 1994 version. No sense letting the BIG 3 hold us back on that issue.

Are you going to use the matrix idea for identifying your "old" procedure numbering (ISO9K:1994) to the new ISO9K:2000? I guess anything that's mentioned by the ISO9K:2000 standard is in QS9K anyway, eh?

I guess here in Asia, we still have yet to see that QS9K thing although in my profession as Injection Machine Engineer being required by a Singaporean Company to be get familiar with.

Had a meeting with our registrar last week, I asked them if they had heard anything about the big 3 and their plans to adopt TS16949. It seems he has seen a draft communication from Chrysler which is expected to be issued Sept/Oct. He also claims GM are also in the works and their communication will follow Chryslers announcement.
