QS-9000 Quality Systems Handbook

The QS-9000 Quality Systems Handbook is a step-by-step guide to interpreting and implementing this US-based standard. While similar to ISO 9000, QS-9000 has been developed by the Big Three automakers, and their suppliers and partners will be expected to meet these standards.

Each element, clause, and requirement is analyzed in detail with instructions provided for implementation. QS-9000 Quality Systems Handbook is written primarily for implementors and discerning managers, as well as instructors and auditors, to help them understand the requirements and a range of solutions that are acceptable to the automotive industry. It includes check lists, auditor questions, tips for implementors, flow charts, and a glossary of terms.
