Article Abstract:
US companies can enhance quality control using International Standards Organization (ISO) 9000 standards by minimizing documentation used to manage quality.

Organizations should carry out internal audits on a regular basis, with newer systems requiring more frequent audits than older ones. ISO 9000 standards should be incorporated into company quality management systems.
