Try some folks called SystemCorp., a link being on my web site (address
below), under links, ISO9000 etc. They feel that the ISO 9000:2000 will
have substantial material on Continuous Improvmeent. I haven't read the
drafts yet, either, but I think it will be shortly necessary.
Dropping ISO 9002 is no big deal, but how they interpret 'continuous
improvmeent' will be. I know of one firm that is successfully
registered and maintained, yet can't seem to correctively act on their
problems permanently, much less preventively act on them. True
continuous improvmeent is not the same thing, gang. to really do it,
you have to change your head. How to fit into an ISO head? Something
for us to work on.
