By: IndustrialPR.net From what began as a noble idea to improve quality within companies across the globe, ISO 9001 has been exploited, abused, monopolized, and perhaps just about turned into the largest rip-off in industrial history, according to Guberman. Having been involved with ISO standards since 1987, Guberman, an internationally recognized quality consultant, has watched the nation's quality assurance sector decay rapidly due to commonly practiced lies, deceit, organized corruption, fabricated myths, overly zealous marketing tricks, and personal character attacks often performed by consultants, auditors, registrars and even accreditation bodies. Guberman said, "Companies involved in critical processes such as aerospace and medical need to be aware that most quality systems are audited and consulted by individuals with little or no engineering background or any real-world business or quality management skills whatsoever.” On the G-PMC, LLC company website a reference of a direct quote from the American National Accreditation Board (ANAB®) website (http://www.anab.org/ Guberman elaborated further, “Let us run this through once again, here is a national accreditation body attempting to reassure their clients and potential clients about accreditation by their own approved certification bodies (Registrars) Guberman said accreditation is an all or nothing business in which a certifying body (Registrar) choosing to be accredited is either accredited or not accredited. “Yes, it is as simple as that, there can be no such thing as a probably accredited certifying body (Registrar), and yet astoundingly, the largest accreditation body in the U.S. that certifies accreditation of registration bodies concerning its own certification bodies (Registrars) Guberman said ANAB® takes upon themselves the authority to determine accreditation, and in so doing, they cover themselves by using an escape clause with the word 'probably'. “Ironically, ANAB® itself by saying 'probably' appears to be misrepresenting itself to the world and to the certification of many companies, and by so doing exacerbating – quality failures such as “Chinese suspect parts “migrating into military aircraft.” says Guberman. An article on Guberman's website states; the companies who have ANAB® associated certifications are companies that are questionable with which to do business because one does not know with certainty if their accreditation is valid or not, which can be inferred from an archived page of its own (ANAB®) declaration at http://web.archive.org/ Guberman concluded,“ANAB® Guberman said, “In the quality arena utilizing the term 'official' is nothing but a weasel-like method to imply an authority that is not there. It is akin to saying, 'Ask my friend if I’m a thief.' “Under these peculiar circumstances, the IAF is actually more a ceremonial organization than an official organization. In fact, if one was to substitute the word 'ceremonial' for the word 'official' in the language of ANAB®, that would perhaps be closer to the truth.” Case in point, said Guberman, "Has anybody ever witnessed a certification being revoked by a registrar? Of course not, they simply don't do it because they'll lose money -- the customer will just go to another registrar. The same goes for corrective actions, even if justified; all it really comes down to is money. You have the money, you get the certificate, it's that simple.” Guberman has been exposing to the quality community over the last three years what he calls the 'accreditation myth.' Guberman warns companies to be aware of consultants and registrars that use the accreditation scheme to acquire business from competitors. According to Guberman, the flimflam is based on scaring companies into believing their certification will not be valid if not accredited by a certain accreditation body (ANAB®). Guberman calls it a devious tactic performed regularly by consultants and registrars to unfairly acquire business from a competitor, which prefers by choice, to not be ANAB® accredited. Guberman said across the nation and worldwide thousands of companies every day become victims of the accreditation myth, and it's costing these businesses millions of dollars in wasted revenue. What puzzles Guberman is despite his honest efforts of warning companies about the accreditation myth, corruption and monopolizing in ISO, many companies ignore the warnings and it's costing them thousands of dollars in lost revenue. He concluded, by quoting Thomas Paine: "Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it." - Thomas Paine Media Contacts: Daryl Guberman 203-556-1493 daryltqrs@yahoo.com For the original version of this news article visit: http://www.g- End
