Quality Software & Analysis: Create Alignment and Synergy for Core Tools
Effective generation of core tool documentation and use of core tools help to meet customer requirements and reduce variation.
In implementing a Quality Management System (QMS), fundamentals play a key role. These fundamentals in automotive manufacturing are basic quality methods and techniques. During the era of QS-9000, these were a part of the "seven pack." Now, with the introduction of ISO/TS 16949: 2002, these methods are known as the "core tools." Consistent with the customer-focused QMS, core tools are customer-specific requirements.
