:mg: Just this morning, I was instructed to start the documentation process in preparation for ISO 9001:2000 registration next year - an addition to our existing registration!! I was speechless, stunned, and stumbling for words...almost fell out of my chair. I hear that the building has progressed faster than expected in the last 3 weeks and should be done next week. I'm skeptical...unless the machinery is in and has power, working, etc. then in my book - it's not done yet. I'm going there next week to see for myself.

To recap:
Late 2006: we started building a new permanent mold foundry and heat treat facility.
Mid to late 2007: We started moving in new machinery.
Late 2007, we started producing aluminum castings and working out the bugs with tooling and various equipment. The heat treater was running and certified.
Early-Mid 2008: the bugs were still being worked out and we were actually running production.

Late 2008 (now): we had our ISO 9001:2000 registration audit. Result: we are recommended for registration!!!!!! :biglaugh::agree1: :magic:

Yeah, we did it. We had 1 blasted action item. Almost a perfect audit. Yeah.

Does Top Management want it?
If not, it won't happen.
If so, develop a line-item budget for your company's ISO plan.
No budget, no ISO.

I have recently been told by a registrar, that unless the company (new company) has active business, they cannot obtain registration. Has anyone else found this to be true? I understand there has to be substantial evidence to prove the system is effective and conforming, but what better evidence than a new system that is being utilized to obtain new business. Some industries won't consider your bid unless you are registered.

Thanks for the input.
