ISO9000 set of standards has been widely applied in Iranian Automotive manufacturing industry. Regarding the effects of TQM and ISO9000 set of standards various studies have been conducted and different quantitative conclusions have been made. Due to lack of quantitative information, in many of the cases, using qualitative information becomes the best option. The qualitative nature of data in such cases, requires qualitative analysis methods that might lead to some challenging computational issues. This paper examines the impact of ISO9000: 2000 certification and its perceived benefits for an automotive manufacturing company. Using an empirical approach, the paper seeks to ascertain if certification has indeed improved the performance of the company. Our null hypothesis rotates around the effect of ISO9000: 2000 on the 4W's of an enterprise. To carry out the research, first we developed a couple of questionnaires including all criteria of ISO9000 and 4W's. Second, the questionnaires were discussed with two researchers knowledgeable in the field, and then submitted to the quality practitioners and executives of Iran Khodro Enterprise-a leading company in Iranian automotive manufacturing industry. Finally the null hypothesis was tested and the technology improvement dimensions were ranked through nonparametric tests. The results illustrated a reasonable cause and effect relationship, suggesting that ISO9000: 2000 has positive effect on the 4W's of company result. In this work we investigate the effect as technology improvement viz., the improvement of techno-ware, human-ware, info-ware, and organ-ware.

The International Organization for Standardization(ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies. Through ISO Technical Committees(TC), various International Standards are being carried out. Each member body interested in a subject for which a TC has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electro-technical Commission(IEC) on all matters of electro-technical standardization. ISO established the ISO 9000 Family standard in 1987, and International Standard ISO 9000-3 was worked by ISO/TC 176, Quality management and quality assurance, Subcommittee 2(SC 2), Quality systems, in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3: 1997 Rules for the structure and drafting of International Standards, Many organizations have applied the ISO 9000-3 for their quality system standard in the software sector. That means that ISO 9000-3: 1991 and ISO 9000-3: 1997 have been used successfully by the software industry as the internationally accepted interpretation of ISO 9001 for the development and maintenance of computer software. Additionally ISO 9000-3: 1997 involved how the software life cycle processes defined in ISO/IEC 12207: 1995, Information Technology - Software Life Cycle Processes related to the requirements of ISO 9001:1994. After having performed full reviews of the WD3, CD1, CD2 and DIS drafts of the future ISO 9001:2000, this document will partly replace the part of ISO 9000-3: 1997 for measurement analysis and improvement of quality management system in computer software industry, as an interpretation for organizations and certification bodies, which will be withdrawn when ISO 9001:1994 is replaced by ISO 9001:2000,.

A purpose of subcontractor management succeed in construction project. Specially in the subcontractor management of quality management, it is necessary that subcontractors not only acquire ISO 9000 quality system certification but also continuously and without a break fulfill ISO 9000 quality system. As a result, we proposed that a general contractor play an important role in a manager of subcontractors to keep up the ISO 9000 duality system of subcontractors.

The ISO 9000 Follow-up Management Practices (FMP) as an integrated area including training, QM systems, management commitment, customer focus, communication and related issues are examined. A sample of 191 small and medium-sized firms data from mail survey is analyzed by the SPSSWIN. A model of FMP including three factors (Systems, Training, and Customer Focus) is introduced. In this paper, a focus is laid on the comparison between ISO 9000:1994 vs. ISO 9000:2000 or 05 9000 certificates and between groups classified by the time length after certification, and on regression relationships between FMP level and business performance. The result shows that the difference of FMP level is significant between two versions and between groups. Quality level and system satisfaction are influenced significantly by the three factors.

Many studies reported that some organizations experience benefits of quality as well as the productivity due to the implementation of ISO9000. However, there are significant differences across countries, industries and organizations. This paper examines the current quality management practices in the Hong Kong construction industry under the ISO 9000 environment by a postal survey. It focuses on the success factors of ISO 9000 implementation in the industry. The findings support the views that changes in the organization are needed to realize the benefits brought by ISO 9000.

Because of preferential treatment in PQ judgement, many construction company got the certification of ISO 9000. But the main objective of them was just certification itself. The ISO 9000 certification which was composed of 20 requirements was a standard just for the manufacturing industry, so it was difficult that it was applied to a business of construction industry. In these reasons, they have revised ISO 9000:l994 which was composed or 20 requirements to ISO 9000:2000 which requests to focus on business process. In this research, we'll develop a System for Project Quality Plan that is related with information of site process in an apartment housing project. This system is intended to increase use of project quality plan in construction sites based on the construction process.

As international commerce pattern changes toward the system of developed countries market competition, developing countries experience difficulties in international commerce market. Developed countries request their trading counterparts to obtain environment restriction. We also endure the environmental pollution due to industrialization. These environmental problems force Western Europe countries to install Environment Management System. This article presents description of development processes of ISO 14000 draft, compares ISO 9000 with 7750 requirements, and describes the common points and differences between ISO 9000 and 14000 draft.
