Top Quality Questions

ISO stands for International Organization for Standarization. Regarding questions that can be developed in order to assess present system or to use them as training tools, it is not relevant whether it has to do with ISO 9001 or not. Of course these questions can be used for ISO 9001 quality management system.

Sorry forgot to reply to second part.

Having ISO does not mean that there will be no rejections. If used as a tool properly, it should be able to reduce the number of rejections from the pre ISO stage.

"ISO" doesn't actually stand for anything directly. It's not an abbreviation (if it were, it would be "IOS") so it's pronounced eye-so, not I-S-O. It's a Greek combining form meaning "equal" and was chosen so that the IOS could be identified on an equal basis in all languages.

Cncmarine,

Thank you, sir! A couple of good additions.

Amjadrana & JSW05:

Thanks for your answers, but all we're doing here is compiling the most commonly-heard quality questions. No need to provide any answers in this thread. Good thinking, though!

Gettin' better all the time....(Lennon & McCartney)

I Like (not sure if it should be under management responsibility or measurement analysis and improvement)....

How do we know if we are getting better?
(or) How do we proove to the assessor we are getting better?

How about...."How can we prove to our Stakeholders that we are improving?"

Then again...."What is improvement?"

MikeL and Roxane,

Yes, I like those. You're both hitting the same issue from slightly different angles. An alternate could be "What is continual improvement?" Thanks for your super ideas. Keep thinking. I'm think I'm up to about 84 questions...

Craig, here are several more to consider:

Why do we have a quality system?

Why do we want to register our quality(business) system to a standard?

Why isn't lack of training a root cause?
