Article Abstract:

Sophisticated computer software programs help companies comply with ISO 9000 standards. These compliance programs automate almost every aspect of the quality process, from document management and supplier management to quality planning and preventive maintenance. Compliance programs also enable businesses to collect, analyze, report and manage information that lead to prompt completion of tasks.
