ISO 9001:1994 vs. ISO 9001:2000 - What are the differences?

[Raffy]

Hi Everyone,
We are on the last stage of our certification. We will be having our re-certification probably this year, but we were hoping that we could comply on all the requirements for the ISO9000:2000.
Concerns: 1)How does ISO9000:2000 differ with the ISO9000:1994, what are the changes?
What are the transition changes that happen on the new edition of ISO9000:2000? 2)What is ISO9001:2000, Is it the same with ISO9000:2000? A training plan been send to us and on the attached courses that was been offered, there is ISO9000:2000 Introductory and the other one is ISO9001:2000, what could be the difference between the two? Is it the same? Please comment. 3) With ISO9000:2000, are we going to change or overhaul our system? Do we have to change our quality manual or shall I say, Create another Quality Manual for ISO9000:2000? 4)Does it mean that on the sections that were been discussed on ISO9000:2000,Are we going to generate a procedure for each section? Or Incorporate the changes in our current system? Please comment.
Thank you in advance.
Raffy
