IS0 9001: Making the Right Mistakes

Quality assurance systems and ISO 9001 in particular have received a lot of attention in recent times, much of which is negative. Here the authors examine a more positive example and look at the role that ISO 9001 has played in embedded software development at Pi Technology. In this paper the authors address the following points: What the purpose of a quality system is or at least should be; and Why the authors introduced a quality system and how they went about developing and implementing the system. The authors examine the pitfalls they avoided and those they didn't and look at the positive benefits they believe they see from having a quality system in operation. The authors also generalise the lessons they have learned to other quality systems such as CMM.
