This Month's Workshop

Ms. Geldreich will give you insights on the challenges, obstacle’s methods and techniques used to achieve successful ISO registration. 

This valuable information will benefit any organization considering transition to ISO 9001:2000, and demonstrate how ISO registration can improve business operations and expand business opportunities.

If you are considering implementing an ISO compliant Quality System, plan on attending this excellent opportunity to hear this first hand account of ISO registration. 

The recent ISO 9001 revision has resulted in significant changes to the development and administration of Quality Management Systems. Some companies have embraced the change while others dread it. Transition to ISO 9001:2000 can improve business operations and expand business opportunities. So why wait?

In December 2000, Kyocera Wireless Corp. was one of the first companies in the world to achieve ISO 9001:2000 registration. Kyocera Wireless Corp., the result of two acquisitions, had only been operating as a single business entity for eight months prior to registration.

The challenges and obstacles Kyocera Wireless Corp. encountered during ISO 9000:2001 transition are universal. This presentation will cover methods and techniques used to achieve registration. The information presented will benefit any organization considering transition to ISO 9001:2000.
