Oh the iso and awards thingy................all those are just
the same thing in different packaging.
All these awards mean is that your company has documented
procedures for your processes(what processes depends on the nature
of the award).
Effectiveness of those procedures, or whether the documented
procedures are even implemented in the first place, is immaterial.
There is no way for the agencies awarding the certifications to
check, not that they really care.
This just means big money for the agencies that do the
certification, and even worse, now the iso thingy is even a
requirement if you wish to do business in places like Europe.
Its really a huge con job, and now even our schools are caught up
in this nonsense.
