IMPORTANT: New Risk Management Requirement With TL 9000 R5.0
Bizphyx TL 9000 Experts


One of the key additions to the R5 version of TL 9000 is the addition of a risk management requirement. While the requirement is only a single sentence, it is followed by a bulleted note that adds guidance as to the intent.  Managing risks that may impact your ability to provide a product or service requested by a customer should be a common business activity; however, the recent experiences in our global economic environment have demonstrated that this effort is not as well managed, as it should be.  TL 9000 has taken what has long been a part of the automotive standard, TS16949, to manage their supply chain and from CMMI, to best manage projects, and has enhanced the telecommunications standard.   Read the complete article recently published in Quality Digest Daily >

BIZPHYX offers both training for Release 5.0 and a program that uses our templates, to add the new required procedures and make the necessary changes to your current documentation.  If you have questions please call us at (972) 429-5560 or e-mail info@bizphyx.com for a consultation.

Update:  Winning Strategies For Diverse Suppliers
BIZPHYX Supplier Diversity

Have you ever attended a supplier event or meeting with your customer and heard that you must be certified to ISO 9001 or TL 9000?  Then, at the next trade show you are speaking with a prospective customer and they say you must be certified to ISO 14000 or AS 9100?  Then you have a meeting with a customer and they want your company to look at Six Sigma or Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) qualifications?  You say to yourself, "What does this all mean?  Why is certification required? What does it do for my company?"  Read the complete article >


BIZPHYX provides a web-based solution, enabling diverse suppliers (M/W/DVBE) to achieve TL 9000 and ISO 9001 certification, at one-third the cost of bringing in an on-site consultant.  Let us design a program for your company.  If you have questions please call us at (972) 429-5560 or e-mail  info@bizphyx.com for a consultation.
