ISO9000 has nothing to do with quality. It's all about process. You
can make a crappy product, as long as you follow the process to make
it. ISO9000 = Make one crappy product then make them all crappy.

Reminds me of a story from our missing friend Robatoy:

Yeah, I got stuck being an ISO-9k paper-generator when it first came
out. Fortunately it was only one small project. All of the
coordinators that brought the system into the company (IBM BTW)for the
site were laid off right after they got the certifications.

I was a project leader so got stuck putting together the documents for
my project. It was to be a test to show that the whole area was
certifiable (well...). I had to defend my process as an example of
what all similar projects were doing (so they could get some work
done). I had a notebook full of "here's what we're going to do" BS.
Well, it wasn't quite full. The back half was blank (more difficult
stuff I didn't have time to get to). I kid you not, the auditors said
they were happy with our "process", the page before the null process
started. It was all BS, of course. No one cared. Audit passed. Boss
happy. Transferred to another site (with the boss) before the axe hit
us.
