organizations. It doesn't matter what size they are or what they do. It
can help both product and service oriented organizations achieve standards
of quality that are recognized andrespectedthroughout the world. The other
standards in the family cover specific aspects such as fundamentals and
vocabulary, performance improvements, documentation, training, and
financial and economic aspects. Without satisfied customers, an
organization is in peril! To keep customers satisfied, the organization
needs to meet their requirements. The ISO 9001:2008 standard provides a
tried and tested framework for taking a systematic approach to managing
the organization's processes so that they consistently turn out product
that satisfies customers' expectations.
