The (Almost) Painless ISO 9001:2000 Transition

Time is running out to make the transition to ISO 9001:2000, but you still have time! Whether you're just beginning your transition effort, are mid-way through, or even if you have already completed the transition, this book offers valuable tips and techniques to get the most from your transition effort. Author Denise Robitaille's years of experience as a quality professional and auditor can help you in your transition efforts. You'll learn exactly what's changed, how those changes affect you, and a foolproof method for making sure your quality management system meets the requirements of the new standard. Inside you'll learn the essential differences between the 1994 version of ISO 9001 and the 2000 version so you can develop the necessary plans for your organization to move forward with implementation. This approach is consistent with one of the general requirements of the standard, as found in 4.1 of ISO 9001:2000. This clause clearly directs organizations to identify their processes and determine: sequence, interaction, and criteria for operation and control.
