ISO 9001:2008 - Quality Management System:-

          ISO 9000 stands for International Organization of Standardization, created in 1947. It is a worldwide federation of "Member Bodies" (i.e., National bodies - Government Institution or Organization incorporated by Public Law) with its headquarter at Geneva, Switzerland. India is represented by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards).
          ISO is important because of its systemic orientation. We think this is crucial. Many people in this field wrongly emphasize motivational and attitudinal factors. The assumption is that quality can only be created if workers are motivated and have the right attitude. This is fine, but it doesn't go far enough. Unless you institutionalize the right attitude by supporting it with the right policies, procedures, records, technologies, resources, and structures, you will never achieve the standards of quality that other organizations seem to be able to achieve. Unless you establish a quality attitude by creating a quality system, you will never achieve a world-class standard of quality.
          Simply put, if you want to have a quality attitude you must have a quality system. This is what ISO recognizes, and this is why ISO 9000 is important.
