Abstract
This paper addresses the implications of JIT and TQM implementation on the IS0 9000 registration process. Responses from over 500 IS0 9000 registered firms in the US were analyzed to determine whether differences in IS0 9000 registration experiences exist for firms with JIT, TQM, both JIT and TQM, or neither system. Survey results revealed that TQM and JIT firms have a better understanding of the importance of top management commitment, quality training, and communication to IS0 9000 implementation.
