| description | This study examines the critical success factors (CSFs) for ISO 9000 certification in
the Malaysian manufacturing industry. A postal survey is used as research
methodology. A newly designed set of questionnaire based on the identified CSFs has
been sent to 600 randomly selected manufacturing companies in Malaysia. The results
from an 1 1 % responses or 66 companies indicate that management commitment is the
most important critical factor, followed by teamwork, employee involvement,
communication, understanding of organization's quality system, training,
understanding of ISO 9000 standards, institutionalizing the ISO 9000 quality concept
and ISO 9000 project planning. Recommendations are made for future use, based on
the five most popular CSFs that companies need to undertake in developing a
successful strategy for ISO 9000 certification. Suggestions for future work include:
investigation on how to maintain the ISO 9000 certification, and on how to convert the
existing system of ISO 9000: 1994 to the new ISO 9000:2000. |
