Overview

Each issue of THE INFORMED OUTLOOK includes 8-12 major articles (32-40 pages) on issues that are timely and pertinent to management system professionals. We include a balanced viewpoint with reports from both the editors of THE OUTLOOK and from contributing experts in their field. While our focus is primarily on quality management systems (ISO 9000, QS-9000, TL 9000 and other QMS requirements), we also regularly report on management systems for environmental programs (ISO 14000) and on industry-specific requirements. As an example, the following article is one in a series of questions posed to a group of Leading Registrars. In this issue, we explored the question: What is the best and most easy-to-understand way for an organization to revise its quality manual to conform to the requirements contained in Sections 4-8 of ISO 9001:2000?
