In 1995, the Big Three automakers dropped their individual quality programs and requirements for suppliers and adopted a common program based on ISO 9000. This article discusses how the automakers' standard, called QS-9000, was developed and how they plan to implement and enforce it. Some advice for suppliers planning to earn QS-9000 registration is also given.
