Meet the millennium with ISO
Article Abstract:
The International Organisation of Standardisation, headquartered in Switzerland, and its ISO 9000 certification program for quality management and assurance have made considerable headway in Asia. Total quality management is appearing in many organizations and there are national listings of ISO 9000-certified products, services and companies in various countries. In China ISO 9000 is adopted as GB/T 19000 (to 19004)-94. Small companies can improve prospects by being certified, since certification is often demanded of suppliers, but time, effort and money are required.
