To all,
Well, I would like to ask why should I implement Total Quality Management instead of Quality Control or Quality Assurance ?
Actually, my senior told me to make a proposal on implementing TQM or BPR; currently our co. is implementing QA (ISO 9000)
Thanks !

If you are working in the field of automotive components and do any business with Ford, GM, or Diamler Chrysler, you or your supply chain will need to be aware of QS-9000. The QS-9000 standard and it's reference documents (SPC, MSA, PPAP, FMEA, etc.) can be obtained from the AIAG (Automotive Industry Action Group). QS-9000 will eventually be replaced by ISO-16949, but the reference documents found in QS-9000 will continue to be used.

If, as part of the supply chain management, you are also performing audits of suppliers, you may consider having your audit group accredited to ISO/IEC 17020.....the international standard for inspection agencies. Contact me if you have questions about ISO/IEC 17020.
