A Computer-Aided Environment for ISO-9000 Standards Certification

Abstract

ISO-9000 series standards have been accepted as standards of international quality systems worldwide in industries. currently there is no software used to design, construct and maintain quality system complied with ISO-9000 completely. Existing softwares only automate some aspects of qualitymanagement, such as document management, process control, and gradation tracing. This paper presents an ISO-9000 Certification Aided enviRonmEnt, ISOCARE, that is a Process-centered softwareEngineering Environment. ISOCARE integrates sets of aided tools to support Process Supporting ISO 9000 certification, which helps further organizations to obtain ISO-9000 certification.
