i told my story before but ... i had a board once put on hold and missed a major deadline ISO shop
the called and said that my outside dimension string read 5.000 inches
but when they measured the drawn outline it measured 4.999 inches
i was out of the office
by the time the 'deviation exception' form was filled out and signed off
by them a whole week was lost
i pointed out that the routing tolerance was .005 inches anyway, "why did you put it on hold?" they said "because we are ISO" i told them i was sorry to hear that
the same junk is going on with my sheet metal suppliers now

It spreads down the supply chain like an infectious disease.
I wonder what percentage of companies would have ISO9000 were it not for ISO9000 induced pressure from thier customers? Single digit is my guess.
Perhaps that is an indication of its real value.
