Are you ready for the new release of the ISO 9000 standards?

These international standards, adopted worldwide, are the benchmark against which most companies compare their systems for managing quality. ISO 9001, ISO 9002, and ISO 9003 have been consolidated in to a single standard ISO 9001:2000. The title of the revised standard is Quality Management Systems - Requirements.

The new processes-based standard is less restrictive and much more easily adapted to both manufacturing and non-manufacturing businesses.

Changes in the new standard include:

. Easier to understand terminology
. Greater tailoring of the standard to individual
  company's operations
. More emphasis on customer satisfaction
. Moving companies toward continuous
  improvement
. A process approach to company management
. Fewer required procedures

Dennis Rae Hess
This presentation will introduce you to the revised standard, outline the benefits of the new process-based structure, and help you determine how your organization can benefit from the changes. CONTINUE If you have a job posting, article of interest and or suggestion. Please send to Kathy Powell.
