Overview

Each issue of THE INFORMED OUTLOOK includes 8-12 major articles (36-40 pages) on issues that are timely and pertinent to management system professionals. We include a balanced viewpoint with reports from both the editors of THE OUTLOOK and from contributing experts in their field. While our focus is primarily on quality management systems (ISO 9000, QS-9000, TL 9000 and other QMS requirements), we also regularly report on management systems for environmental programs (ISO 14000) and on industry-specific requirements. As an example, the following article was drawn from the January 2001 issue of THE OUTLOOK – it provides a report from three of the leading participants in the development of the ISO 9000:2000 revisions to give readers some of the background on the process involved and the concerns addressed in this effort.
