Developments… - No clear approach to ISO 9001 structure – 20 discrete clauses - Early 1990s users queried how it fitted together into a system - ISO 9001 developed ‘process approach’, followed by ISO using PDCA - Users asked why standards covered issues in different clauses and why some requirements were almost the same - Additional indexing needed when incorporating both standards into overall systems
