I think I might be calling the ISO 9000 system the wrong name :confused:

I have been told ISO 9000 is a way to document and standardize your quality control system at a company to have a strong quality assurance (or quality garrentee) for the customer. Is this the wrong way of thinking about it ?? :confused:

Quality Control is one small part of quality assurance. Quality control is usually thought of in terms of inspection and testing, whereas quality systems are all the things that go into producing quality goods or services that meet the customer's requirements, and provide the organization with whatever it's motivations are (profit?)

A quality management system should follow the Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle. Quality control is typically thought of in terms of the "check" portion of the cycle. You want to also focus on the planning, the doing and the acting portions so improvements can be continually made in the cycle, not just finding the nonconformities. Remember, you cannot inspect quality in, that is why the world has moved beyond simple quality control into elimination of opportunities for defects.

you are welcome, I hope that it becomes clearer for you as you move through it. It is kind of like the old "a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not necessarily a square" kind of thing. Stick with us, kid, we are all learning every day!
