Abstract: . . .  software) provide a concrete source for creating a micro-theory of ISO 9000 . As far as the assumptions, these will be iteratively relaxed as more refined axioms for the micro-theory are defined. Beyond the ISO 9000 , some future quality domains to be formalized may include: Baldridge Awards (for organizational quality), costs of poor quality (for process quality), and theories of product quality and quality improvement. In the same informations systems approach displayed in this paper, terms, relationships . . .
. . .  9003 compliance has following merits: • Since both the information systems model and the ISO 9003 compliance micro-theory are abstractions of reality, these cannot take place of a thorough manual audit. However nonconformities identified using these models are likely to be the major ones. The major nonconformities identified thusly can be corrected without an expensive external auditor, and may minimize several iterations of audits. • Moreover the enterprise model/ ISO 9003 micro-theory program interaction . . .
