ISO 9000 - Say what you do and do what you say

摘要

The ISO 9000 standard now sweeping the world was born from the UK standard BS 5750 model. This BS standard was first laid down in 1979 under the guidance of the U.K's DTI and MoD organisations. In 1987 the International Organisation for Standards (ISO) in Geneva represented by 91 nation members unveiled the ISO 9000 series of standards and Europeans brought them into the EEC. The basic principle built into the standard evolved from the older U.S. MIL and British standards. Its secret and the primary reason for its success is 'simplicity'. It has been described as 'a way of life' and 'common sense set dawn on paper'. Microelectronics is becoming increasingly involved in technologies related to customised end product as seen in the recent MCM technology. It is the customised product that responds readily to this standard. The 'off the shelf standard product, such as memories and glue logic, only benefit in marketing. The manufacturer of millions invariably demand professional corporate policies and good housekeeping in order to avoid millions of rejects.
