ISO 9000The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was founded in 1947 and involves 157 countries to coordinate and unify various industrial standards. Before the creation of ISO, there are 2 main independent organizations that had similar objectives to ISO, namely the National Standardizing Association (ISA) and also the United Nations Standards Coordinating Committee (UNSCC). ISA and UNSCC were founded in 1926 and 1944 respectively. Unfortunately, both have not gained worldwide acceptance. ISO is not a product standard but a quality system standard. ISO was later formed and adopted most of the ISA's rules and procedures. ISO has published numerous international standards in many fields and industries, including mechanical engineering. One of the examples of ISO involved in mechanical engineering is the ISO 9000 quality system series standards. ISO 9000 is a set of international standards for quality management systems and quality assurance that are critical for international businesses . It requires companies to document their quality control system at every stage, from incoming raw materials, to ongoing monitoring of product design and so on, so that they are able to identify areas that cause quality problems and correct them. ISO 9000 is an international standard for quality management systems. The origin of ISO 9000 dates back to the US Department of Defense's MIL-Q-9858 quality management program in 1959, later adopted in 1968 by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and then by the British Standard Institute ( BSI). in 1979. Later ISO created the ISO 9000 standards in 1987. In 1994, new versions of the ISO 9000 standards were released. These are......half of paper......, handling, storage , packaging, storage and delivery, quality record control, internal quality audits, training, support and also statistical techniques. All standards apply to all types of industrial sectors, whether large or small industries, and also include design, manufacturing, services, research, development and even education. Unfortunately, this broad applicability has also become a weakness of the model, especially in the software development and maintenance industry. This is because it is difficult to define a common language that everyone in the industry can truly understand and apply. To compensate for these problems, ISO has published a new guideline specific to software development, ISO 9000-3.REFERENCE1. Ron Kurtus, "Comparison of ISO 9000 and TQM" revised March 11, 20012.
