Abstract
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has evolved the 9000 series of standards to satisfy the needs of the market. After its founding in 1987, ISO 9001, detailing quality management systems, remains the industry standard for various manufacturing industries. Compliance with ISO 9001 leads to improved resource management, continuous improvement, and product and service management. Implementing the standard requires multiple preparation steps including commitment, awareness and documentation.
