General Motors
The automotive industry is under increasing pressure to reduce
emissions and design engines that consume less petrol. For the
General Motors site in Strasbourg, this translates into producing
automatic transmissions that consume less energy.
The site's President, Marc Schiff, is meeting the challenge with
enthusiasm and is committed to the implementation of certified
management systems to help achieve it.
The General Motors site in Strasbourg
achieved
ISO/TS 16949 certification from LRQA in March 2003. The site is
also certified by LRQA
for ISO
14001 and
OHSAS
18001.
This article explores GM Strasbourg's philosophy and approach
towards these management systems.
