This is reference book, a good one, especially on the criticism: ISO 9001 Standard Criticism - The approaches to ISO 9001 that led to systems of documentation which made us lose sight of the objectives; - The requirements that encouraged us to measure conformance rather than performance; - The way third party auditors have influenced the organization’s approach to ISO 9001; - The way the requirements have misconstrued the responsibility for quality and led to departments set up to maintain ISO 9001 registration.
