How Do You Audit the Process Approach?

Bart Solomon and John Stratton writer that there has been much discussion about the changes in requirements from ISO 9001/2/3:1994, but not enough regarding the change in the nature of a QMS with ISO 9001:2000 and how it is to be maintained effectively. In the first part of a series on QMS auditing to ISO 9001:2000, they explore this change and why understanding it is critical to the successful auditing of an ISO 9001:2000-based QMS and to changing the nature of internal and external audits themselves.
