ISO 9000 is good for documentation people, but not necessarily for business. Apparently many formerly ISO-compliant companies have now dumped the stuff.

One of the difficulties is that it tends to replace inspection with documentation.

My wife the quality engineer has seen this scenario:

"Hi, I'm the ISO-9000 inspector for HJKLMNP Co."
-- "Pleased to meet you."
"So do you have the required ISO documents for the stuff you sell us?"
-- "Right here." (Gee, they're last year's. I hope he doesn't look too closely at them.)
"Excellent. What do you say we go to lunch?"
