 What is ISO 9001:2008 ? - International Organisation for Standardigation
| WHAT ISO 9000
QMS |
A globally recognized Quality Management System (QMS) framework. |
|
A common sense, documented system focusing upon customer satisfaction and
improving the way an organisation operates. |
IT DOES NOT TELL AN ORGANIZATION HOW TO OPERATE. |
ISO 9000
QMS
ISO
9001:2008 QMS is the latest version of quality management system
standard. It specifies requirements for a quality management system
where an organization needs to:
•
Demonstrate its ability to consistently provide product that
meets customer and applicable regulatory requirements, and
• Address customer satisfaction through the effective application
of the system, including processes for continual improvement of
the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and
applicable regulatory requirements.
ISO
14000 EMS
ISO
14001 EMS standard specifies requirements for an environmental
management system, to enable an organization to formulate policy and
objectives taking into account legislative requirements and
information about significant environmental impacts.
ISO
14000 EMS applies to those environmental aspects which the
organization can control and over which it can be expected to have
an influence. It does not itself state specific environmental
performance criteria.
ISO / TS 16949 QMS for
Automotive Sector
ISO/TS
16949 QMS defines the quality management system requirements for the
design and development, production and, where relevant, installation
and service of automotive related products. ISO/TS 16949 QMS
technical specification is applicable to sites of the organization
where customer specified parts, for production and/or service, are
manufactured.
The goal
of ISO/TS 16949 QMS standard is the development of a quality
management system that provides for continual improvement,
emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and
waste in the supply chain.
ISO/TS
16949 QMS differs from other ISO standards in two important ways: it
is restricted to automotive companies and their suppliers; and it
requires compliance with a customer's requirements worldwide, not
just regionally.
ISO/TS
16949:2002 QMS was developed by a partnership comprising the
International Automotive Task Force (IATF) and the Japan Automobile
Manufacturers Association (JAMA), with the support of ISO technical
committee ISO/TC 176, which is responsible for the ISO 9000 family
of quality management standards. This standard is the result of an
agreement between ISO and the International Automotive Task Force (IATF),
aimed at meeting the quality management system needs of the
international automotive sector.
ISO/TS 16949 QMS is the latest technical specification aligning the
multiple automotive quality system standards including QS-9000
(North America), VDA 6.1 (Germany), EAQF (France) and AVSQ (Italy).
