To achieve TL 9000 certification, companies must meet unique, industry-specific requirements such as metrics for tracking performance. The announcement was made today at the QuEST Forum meeting in Dallas. The QuEST Forum was formed by Bell Atlantic, BellSouth, Pacific Bell and Southwestern Bell in 1996 with 30 members. By the end of 1999, membership has grown to more than 100. International participants in the forum include representatives from Canada, Europe, Israel, Japan, Korea, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
Registration requires a third-party registrar to confirm implementation of the requirements.
Tellabs' registration audit was conducted by BSI, Inc., an independent certification company for TL 9000 certification, during the QuEST Forum's pilot program. Talk about this story with other people. All Rights Reserved.
