ISO 9000 Production

Many industries and governments depend on ISO 9000 production standards these days. ISO 9000 production standards guarantee that all products are of a consistently high quality.

Although the ISO production standards are still voluntary, lots of companies are using them as a standard when targeting foreign markets which require environmentally-safe products. The ISO 9000 production departments assure the quality of all equipment shipped.

ISO 9000 production standards basically have three requirements. First, the business should document the quality system and business process in detail. Second, the business should make sure that each employee understands and follows the guidelines stated by the documentation. Third, the documented quality system should be continuously monitored through internal and external audits, and updated when required.

ISO 9001 ensures quality assurance in design, production, installation and servicing for manufacturing businesses that design and make their own products. ISO 9002 is employed in contractual arrangements when specified needs are declared in terms of established design or specifications. ISO 9003 needs a dealer to demonstrate its capability to detect and control the disposition of any product nonconformity during final check and testing. ISO 9004 sets a standard for an organization's internal quality management.

ISO 9000 production standards consist of a total of 20 elements (sections) that explain what a company has to do in order to show that it is abiding by ISO 9000 rules. Each element should be clearly and completely documented.

Many company owners find that ISO 9000 production is an invaluable marketing tool to alleviate the problems of TQM (total quality management). But a very few also see it as an unnecessary bureaucratic boondoggle.
