Yep we were told we had to be certified ISO 9002 or we would be losing business from some of our major customers as thier bean counters said all suppliers had to be certified. Now mind you we have been supplying some of these companies with parts for 20 years. We hired a man o do all of the ISO crap, had people come in and help him figure it all out, got the certification. Then cusomers started pulling jobs out and sending them to Chine ,In a round about way the great American company Harley Davidson is included. We supplied parts for them to one of thier suppliers and after abou a year and half we were told to literally ship the tooling to Indochina.

As for the ISO and quality, ours didn't improve because of it but it sure takes longer now to run parts because of all the redundant paperwork that has to be done. I don' have a problem keeping good records but they get way overboard on that crap.

I always said that the person who started all of the ISO certification crap had a cousin or nephew or something that needed a job so one was created.
