More than office visits? They walked around the plant once, pretending that
they had a clue. The pile of paperwork required makes extremely expensive to
be ISO certified. In a one off shop, this would be hard to do and, unless
forced to do so, they woud not waste that much time and manpower. Paper
pushers love ISO. It gives them a reason to exist.

Then either the inspectors are not all consistent or things have changed
drastically in the last 4 years. My sister in-law was the operations
manager for a high end electronics company that built job specific one of
a
kind electrical tools and equipment for extreme environment conditions.
Their product did not exist until commissioned and they carried no
inventory
of products ready to be sold. About 7 or 8 years ago they were having
to
make specific operations changes to become ISO certified. They had
apparently been trying to be certified for several months prior to hiring
my
sister in-law.
Any way to make a long story short they had more than office visits.
