Quality World has an article about ISO 9000 and the recent ISO survey.

The UK is dropping way behind, as I see it. This article has very little prominence compared to previous years when the whole December issue could be about ISO 9000.

I don't think it is sensibe to hide the numbers away. My guess is that in Asia some companies are able to run ISO 9000 and do stuff with quality. the numbers show that momentum has moved there.

The article mentions anxiety and apathy. Maybe this is just in the UK.

More later. The article is not yet on the IQA website.
