Many researchers and research groups around the globe are dealing with interdisciplinary problems and multidisciplinary groups but especially those that deal everyday with biosensors have the feeling of not having enough personnel with the sufficient background to cover all topics. I give many examples of current drivers and barriers to good quality in supply chains and I give empirical examples that illustrate how using the Shewhart-Deming cycle Framework can help managers control or improve quality. I propose a Shewhart-Deming cycle framework for controlling and improving quality in automobile supply chains at the suppliers, in product development, at transportation and warehouse vendors, and in vehicle operations. In this paper, I am first describing how automobile manufacturers and suppliers plan for and assure quality throughout their supply chains. There is little literature that proposes how and why managers should use the Shewhart-Deming cycle framework Plan Do Check Act (PDCA) to improve and sustain quality throughout the automobile supply chain. There are few pieces of literature explaining processes that assure quality through the whole automobile supply chain from design through the suppliers, the warehouses, transportation, and vehicle operations.
