I would think they're basically the same thing.

As to the origin of the process approach, I was 'taught' it back in the 1980's. It wasn't a buzz word then, but 'process approach' is nothing new.

In QS-9000 & ISO 9001:1994, the system was broken in 20 elements. Everyone managed and audited their system by these elements. But most people run their companies by Dept. or by process. The elements were not a good approach. The new standards (TS, ISO 9001) want the system to be audited along this "process approach." It is not really new. It just takes out this detour we made into elements. Many auditors and managers have already been folowing some version of this process approach for years. Now it is required.
