Abstract

The application of Quality, Cost and Delivery (QCD) practices in science management has made a significant impact both in industrial and academia for over the last decade. Fostered by rapid development in the automotive industry including environment, economic and social issues, there has been a significant development of QCD-S (Sustainability) in PDCA (Plan-Do- Check-Action) and Lean Manufacturing (LM). This paper will attempt to investigate the beyond QCD practices in the automotive industry. A linkage of the QCD-S paradigms with included sustainability product development is the new path of the current philosophy.
