The second edition is updated for the latest version of ISO 9001, and not only includes biting satire and just-a-little-off-color humor (not too much, we promise), but also some sage advice on implementing ISO 9001 for your own company. It also gives a (non) factual look into the (totally fictionalized) workings of the ISO Technical Committee responsible for developing the standard.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a snippet:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>5.4.1 Quality Objectives: The Contemporary Royal Proclamations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I know I said it before, but I feel like saying it again. Sue me.<\/p>\n<p>The boss has to set <em>some <\/em>kind of goals for the company. They should include goals for quality and product. Remember, \u201cproduct\u201d means \u201cservice,\u201d too. See? It\u2019s only clause 5.4.1 and we\u2019ve already forgotten about service organizations!<\/p>\n<p>Make sure each area in the company has objectives. The fun of charting one\u2019s failure to live up to expectations should be shared, don\u2019t you think? And those objectives better be measurable, too, buddy. Don\u2019t think we won\u2019t check up on you!<\/p>\n<p>To make things handy, here are some suggested objectives which you can actually measure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t be a jerk. We can measure that by use of hidden cameras.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t steal office supplies. We can tell by doing inventory.<\/li>\n<li>Sell whatever you can, as fast as you can. We can measure that by how fast you sell whatever you can.<\/li>\n<li>Never pay our vendors on time. Paying on time is for shlubs.<\/li>\n<li>Deliver on time. OK, OK, I just added that last one in as a joke. I mean, really. Who does that?? Ha ha ha!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The first edition of EYESORE 9000 was downloaded over 150,000 times, which may approach the actual number of purchased copies of the real\u00a0 ISO 9001 standard in the United States!
