Moving From a Quality System to QMOS

This is the second part of a 2-part series on the history of DaimlerChrysler Corporation’s movement to a QMOS that sought continuous improvement and effective management of Chrysler Manufacturing’s processes and product. Nate Cunningham uses the history of COS’s development as an example of how a QMOS can be used within the automotive world and any type of organization worldwide to make quality a critical, consistent element of a company’s business system. He concludes the series by exploring how COS has been expanded beyond Chrysler Manufacturing, including its role in the merger with Daimler-Benz and the integration of ISO 14001.
