Re: ISO9001:2008 - Who is joking?
Yes but if it is not a complete joke, they will be planning it in 2014 and issuing the standard in 2016 after completing all the formalities.
Some jokes are also difficult to understand. I mean there is always an intent or an attitude to read between the lines. Some lines meet somewhere. Attitude!
BTW, Amanbhai : are you extrapolating the forecast
1987---1994---2000---2008---2014/15/16 ....?
2013, with 2008 as an outlier?
Or will it meet a life cycle process?
Randy professes "It's [ISO 9001:xxxx] is a tool" is right. And being a result of a meticulous joint effort of involved authors (called Technical Committee (TC 176)), it remains only o blame the system. -of writing it or understanding it?
