the old days, an audit for compliance to ISO 9001 was relatively straight forward. There were stated

where you address this and explain the
system…” the task is now directed at
“…auditing for performance…” I believe we all know how subjective this can be.

and use of data has gained significantly in importance. Serious emphasis is now being placed on how
you evaluate and determine what and how
to continuously improve. Evaluation of
system effectiveness and possible ways to reduce costs are focused on.
