Hello Nancy
I have come across this question before, but normally on the basis of 'fine - go-ahead if you want, but keep my department out of it'.
If you are just building a system to ISO 9000, you will find that your marketing has a very limited involvement anyway, and your sales is only involved in element 3 Contract Review. So even if you built an ISO System it probably wouldnt bother them very much. (BTW If you do implement a system i dont see anyway that you can reasonably exclude Sales from it),
This IMHO is one of the key weaknesses of ISO 9000. If you want a solid competitive company, the reality is that you really need to have all your processes optimised and under control.
Lastly i would be very wary about having a comany where one part is seen to be burdened with rules and regs, and another part is seen to be having a free time, you will create a split organisation and possibly generate some bad feeling.
Regards
