About QOS/BOS
QOS/BOS or Quality/Business Operating System is an advanced approach to Total Quality Management, one of the milestones in implementing the TS 16949 standard. It had its genesis by virtue of a combined effort of the Ford Motor Company and the principals at Omnex. QOS manages continuous improvement via strategic goals based on the organizational mission, customer expectations and competitive benchmarks. On adopting the QOS implementation technique, the Management of a firm employs Key Performance Measurables to assess critical non-financial and financial results as well as their process-based causes.
