ISO 9001, ISO 13485 (medical), ISO 14000 (environmental) and AS 9100 (aerospace) are documented quality management systems. Each of the quality management systems have their own unique requirements.  If your company is going to become registered to one of the quality management systems, it is important to thoroughly understand the standard, and to train your people on them.  Why?   Each of these quality management systems can be your opportunity to:

1. - Get control of your processes
2. - Improve internal communication (top management to front-line)
3. - Increase customer and supplier awareness of your company
4. - Establish a common platform for quality processes
5. - Help your organization become more efficient and more effective
