ISO 9000 is well on its way to becoming the new international quality standard of the 1990s. The impact of ISO 9000 standards is already being felt by companies worldwide. And most quality experts agree that ISO 9000 will likely become the accepted international standard for ensuring quality across the globe.
In a comprehensive yet user-friendly approach, ISO 9000 will help you to understand the implications of ISO 9000, launch and manage an ISO registration initiative, and realize the full benefits of ISO 9000 to your company, suppliers, and customers.
