- While there is some net interest in the ISO 9000 standards, I wanted
- to point out that there will be a tutorial on ISO 9000 and software
- at the 2nd International Conference on Software Quality. Following
- the tutorial will be a task force meeting to discuss the current
- state of ISO 9000 and where we are heading. Here is the tutorial
- description. Send mail to me if you would like more information.

- Track 2: Applying ISO 9000 Standards to Software
- John A. Slater, Logica Defence and Civil Government Ltd
-
- The adoption of ISO 9000 quality standards and accompanying
- certification is growing rapidly. However, unless formalized
- quality management and certification are credible and appropriate
- to business needs, they may become a commercial tax on industry
- with little relevance to real quality. The UK industry has taken
- the initiative and set up the TickIT certification scheme using
- international accepted documentation for quality management,
- auditing and certification. This tutorial covers the following
- topics: quality concepts, review of ISO 9000 standards with
- emphasis on ISO 9000-3 (guideline), the TickIT scheme, accreditation
- of registrars, how to select a registrar, and case study.

- John A. Slater is a principal consultant with Logica Defence and
- Civil Government Ltd and has been involved in project and quality
- management of information based systems for over twenty years. He
- was instrumental in the development and implementation of many of
- the UK Ministry of Defence's software quality initiatives. As
- TickIT Project Leader for the UK Department of Trade and Industry,
- he was charged with bringing to fruition accredited third party
- certification for quality management systems in the software sector.
