If there is one metric not hammered on enough in the QMS industry, it's the "this is why you do it" metric: instituting a QMS, on average, increases profit X percent. The irony, of course, is that the industry compels the firms to keep various metrics, yet the industry can't produce the only one that matters.

If your quality system documentation is written to the ISO9001:2000 standard, and you passed your registration audit, then you do not need to make any changes to your documentation in order to meet the 2008 standard. There is only one ISO9001:2008 quality standard. There is not a separate standard for small businesses. ISO9001:2008 contains no new requirements, only clarifications of the ISO9001:2000 standard.

There is only one ISO9001:2008 quality standard. There is not a separate standard for small businesses.

We are starting the process and need to purchase the standard as a beginning. I also saw a version of ISO9001 for small businesses. How does ISO9001:2008 differ from ISO9001:2000?
