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.
