Gardner, CQE, CQA With the current interest in ISO 9000 (eye-so nine thousand) standards, some organizations have sought to replace or modify their improvement programs to meet the ISO standards. This has brought an apparent reduction in interest in so called Total Quality Management (TQM) initiatives.

Modeling with ISO 9000 Forget everything you've heard about ISO 9000. Forget that ISO 9000 is a "quality system" standard.

| TickIT Registration An Overview With the publication of the ISO 9000:1987 series, the UK Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) wished to establish the relevance of these standards to the production of software.

TickIT stands for "Tick Information Technologies" ("Tick," a term used in the UK, is equivalent to "checkmark" or "verified"). | Other

| Quality Management investing in the future Quality is not a matter of chance, and to maintain high quality standards even less so. Companies which are concerned with their future achieve long-lasting success when they implement general and certified quality control systems. A quality management system is critical when it comes to the sale of a product to the customer, as many quality features go unnoticed at first glance. Certification ensures that the data the producer publishes on the label are true. By means of certification by a renowned and independent quality assurance organisation, the producer is seen as more reliable by the customer. The quality certificate underlines a renowned and appreciated brand name and has a similar value. |
