Our advice remains the same: Registration to ISO 9000 is best avoided. But if
you have no choice, if you are subject to market-place coercion, we recommend
the use of the The Vanguard Standards - a systems-based approach. The systems-based
approach uses principles that have been shown to be successful in world-class
operations.
