Ford Motor Company has been using QOS and Q1 quality systems for a long time. Both these fundamental systems have given great advantage to FORD in supply base management. Lately in 2002 FORD launched its back-to-basics quality process -- called Q1 2002. Gaining Q1 status was a one-time event that didn't need to be renewed. Once achieved, suppliers had limited interaction with Ford. But those days are over." The Q1 manufacturing site assessment -- a tool of the new process -- looks at the important areas expected in any robust quality system.  Supplier Improvement Metrics are now closely tied to Q1 status, so suppliers know exactly where they stand.  Manufacturing Site Assessment, for example, evaluates whether the supplier is performing up to customer expectations.
