The Six Sigma Methodology could help. In 50 words or less, the objective is
to Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. The extreme version of this is
the "Black Belt" implementation technique which very heavy in statistics
(Variable and Parametric). The methodology doesn't exclude ISO, and in fact
if ISO is already there, it will feed and support the Six Sigma Process.
