Dave, Another way to look at what ISO-9000 represents is that it is a procedure of doing engineering/business to ensure a sour or a few sour apples would not ruin the whole lot. In a big organization, there are always ones that do not do anything or even damaging, especially among the management. The procedure or guideline if followed correctly would tolerate these non-producing members. So a K6, Pentium, or even an automobile can be assembled through the assembly line. In the automotive world, there are just layers upon layers of inept managers who are not technically sharp nor possess any business know-how. After working in this industry for so long, I wonder how even an automobile can pass through the assembly line with any major hiccups. Well, ISO-9000 then steps in to correct this problem. John. Ps. GM reported a record profit this morning.
