Delphi Energy & Engine Management Systems Receives QS-9000 Certification

    FLINT, Mich., Dec. 5 -- Delphi Energy & Engine Management
Systems received QS-9000 certification, the industry's highest quality
recognition, today at its world headquarters.  The certification recognizes
that the division's 24 manufacturing sites, 10 engineering sites and world
headquarters comply with QS-9000 standards.  Of the division's nine joint
ventures, two are QS-9000 certified and two are expected to be certified by
first quarter 1998.
    At the division's day-long leadership conference, Ian Coyle, area manager
from BSI, the division's third-party registrar, presented the certificate of
compliance to Donald Runkle, vice president and general manager and David
Krausch, divisional director of Quality.  Approximately 600 of the division's
employees attended the ceremony.
    "It is my pleasure to recognize the hard work and dedication that each
Delphi-E employee demonstrated throughout this process," Runkle said.
"Receiving QS-9000 certification reinforces the dedication and commitment that
our employees demonstrate towards improving our quality systems.  It's a bonus
to be able to share this moment with our employees and leadership group
today."
    QS-9000, a quality system that was established by the U.S. automotive
industry, is based on global ISO concepts and incorporates GM's "Targets for
Excellence," Ford's "Q-1 Quality System Standard," and Chrysler's "Supplier
Quality Assurance," program, as well as elements from other vehicle
manufacturers.
    "It was a demanding and rigorous process," Krausch said, "and our people
met the challenge.  We continually focus on reducing defects, eliminating
waste, and improving our processes every day and this process helped keep our
team focused."
