ISO launches video clip : "The ISO 9000 family – Global management standards"

With the publication of ISO 9001:2008 imminent, ISO has just launched a video clip in which users share their perspectives on earlier ISO 9001 editions and other standards in the ISO 9000 family which has become the global benchmark for quality management systems.

The ISO 9000 family – Global management standards takes the form of a fictional television business news report on ISO 9000 in which real users speak from their personal experience in the varied contexts of multinational industry, a humanitarian aid organization and a police department, which ISO says underlines the combination of flexibility, efficiency and effectiveness of the ISO 9000 approach.

ISO Secretary-General Alan Bryden comments: "Whenever the ISO 9000 family is evoked, the emphasis is usually on ISO 9001 certification. This video is refreshing because the users emphasize the importance and benefits of ISO 9000 aspects such as management commitment, metrics, customer focus, continual improvement, knowledge transfer, cost savings and the eight quality management principles."
