The Requirements on statistical techniques in QS‐9000

Abstract

QS‐9000 was established by Chrysler, Ford, General Motors and some Truck Manufacturers to solve problems of efforts to prepare original standards for each company. When we compare the requirements in QS‐9000 with those in ISO 9000, we may observe that those of QS‐9000 are more specific, since the user of the standard is limited to the automobile industry. In particular, the requirements on stastistical technique are described in more detail. In this paper, we present the requirements on statistical techniques in QS‐9000. Specifically, we review the contents of QS‐9000 and explore the philosophy and the minimum requirement on statistical techniques behind the description.
