A comparison of international quality standards: divergence and agreement

A comparison of international quality standards: divergence and agreement Summarizes the main points of divergence between the French EAQF, German VDA 6, and USA QS 9000 standards in the automotive sector and evaluates their possible impact on eligibility for certification under the quality standard of comparison. While particular differences are marked, a converging trend based on QS 9000 requirements is emerging. This indicates that, while at first these developments point at a proliferation of quality standards, international quality standards in the automotive sector are in fact converging. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Business Process Management Journal Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Summarizes the main points of divergence between the French EAQF, German VDA 6, and USA QS 9000 standards in the automotive sector and evaluates their possible impact on eligibility for certification under the quality standard of comparison. While particular differences are marked, a converging trend based on QS 9000 requirements is emerging. This indicates that, while at first these developments point at a proliferation of quality standards, international quality standards in the automotive sector are in fact converging.
