ISO 9001:2000 Conclusions

Regarding the implementation of an ISO 9000 Standard

Clearly, there is a distinct link between all of the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 to product or service. The standard provides a basic format for any organization around which it can organize and develop a quality management system that is focused on defect prevention and continuous improvement. However, as with any normal population, there will be variations in the degrees to which organizations take the requirements to heart.

Some will simply give it lip service, relegating the requirements to the “quality people.” Others will spend some time and money to create a conforming system, obtain certification, and then let it lapse because of “more pressing issues.” However, there will be a distinct group that will embrace the requirements as a way of life and, in so doing, will create a culture upon which customer satisfaction and growth can be achieved.

Which group do you want your organization to fall within? The choice is yours.
