In 2000, I dropped the mic on the consulting industry by introducing Rapid 40-Day ISO 9001 Implementation<\/a>, robbing consultants of their false claims that ISO 9001 has to take a year or more to put in place.<\/p>\n

In 2005, I plopped down another microphone, releasing the world’s first parody standard, Eyesore 9000<\/strong><\/em>, causing a lot of TC 176’ers to mutter profanities under their breath. I followed that up with 2012’s DumbAS9100<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

In 2015, I dropped the mic again, releasing the Oxebridge Totally Free ISO 9001:2015 QMS Documentation Template Kit<\/strong><\/a>, and ruining the party for all those clowns selling lame template kits for $500 – $5,000 a pop.<\/p>\n

Two years later I did the same for the aerospace industry, releasing the equally-free AS9100 QMS Documentation Template Kit<\/strong><\/a> on the world.<\/p>\n

Now comes 2020, just over two decades since Oxebridge’s founding, and you thought I was running out of mics to drop. Of course that wasn’t true.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’m happy to announce the release of an initial draft of Oxebridge Q001<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, — pronounced “Q Thousand and One<\/em>” — a “remix” of ISO 9001. It follows only ISO 9001’s rough clause structure, but then rewords the entire thing so it’s more easily understood, and (better yet) more easily implemented and audited.<\/p>\n

All those whining TC 176’ers have been griping about my criticism of ISO 9001 over the years, and some have suggested that they know better because only they<\/strong> <\/em>can write ISO 9001. Banned from the technical committee meetings, they certainly had me over a barrel. So I just took the fucking barrel and hit them over the head with it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, I made my own goddamn standard, thank you very much. And I hate to blow my own horn, but damn<\/strong><\/em>, it’s better than their complex mess.<\/p>\n

Here’s what Oxebridge Q001 does:<\/p>\n
