ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System: A Do It Yourself Guide.

Implementing ISO 9001
ISO 9001 may best be implemented as a project with a Project Manager, definite start and end date. The Management Representative may not necessary be the Project Manager. If that is the case then the Project Manager must work with the Management Representative as the Management Representative is responsible for maintaining the system.
Some organization may require a Consultant who work as the Project Manager prior to engaging the Registrar. Where such is the case the organization must ensure that the Consultant documents the organization’s system.
