Abstract :
The proliferation of the International Standards Organization (ISO) 9000 standards is being driven by expanding world markets looking for a universally accepted and recognized quality program. The history and purpose of the ISO 9000 series of standards, the projected course of the standards, the registration process, and the potential benefits within the supplier-customer relationship are discussed
