The primary aim for implementing the system was to improve the services provided to the department’s internal customers. Describes how the implementation was carried out, with particular reference to improving customer service, but also identifying some of the issues relating to implementing ISO 9000 within part of a larger organization. Focuses primarily on in‐house service providers, but the information may be relevant to all service organizations.
