Ep 17 - Christopher Paris from Oxebridge.com | Bigfoot, UFOs, Freemasons and the Scheme of ISO Certification

Christopher Paris from Oxebridge.com Bigfoot, UFOs, Freemasons and
the Scheme of ISO Certification | Episode 17#QualityMatters Podcast
"I was blown away at how unethical some of these outfits conduct
business when I first got tossed into the role of QM years
back.  Its something I think a lot of people don’t think about
and don’t consider.   I’ve told people for years ISO 9001
itself doesn’t mean much, who gave it to you and often times the
auditor means something. " - Kyle Chambers co-Host #QualityMatters
and CEO Texas Quality Assurance. We got introduced to Christopher
Paris with Oxebridge after covering the ITC Plant explosion in
Episode with Mo Aziz in Episode 7.  Christopher Paris is the
founder of Oxebridge Quality Resources International, an ISO 9001
and AS9100 consulting firm. He also reports on issues related to
the ISO standards development process and the accredited
certification scheme, acting as unofficial watchdog for the
industry. His clients have included Northrup Grumman, NASA and
SpaceX. This is hands down one of the most exciting episodes of
#QualityMatters yet, and we think you'll quickly agree as
well.  This isn't to shed a negative light on the value of ISO
or similar certifications, but should cause everything listening
to, well listen up, and seek Quality Performance in yourself, your
consultants, auditors and certifying bodies.  The industry
needs men like Christopher Paris out there advocating for Quality
in the Quality Management world.  Kyle has said it before, its
often times the Quality Management Department that is in need of
the most continual improvement. Be sure to check out Surviving ISO
9001 www.survivingiso9001.com.  "Surviving ISO
9001 features all the humor and hard-hitting satire
of Eyesore 9000, and comes with an adult language warning for
occasional “sixteen-letter, four-letter words,” but despite the
jokes, presents an incredible insight into how the standard was
made, and how to interpret it for everyday use." What happens to
the certification industry when all the accredited bodies are
"value added" CB's but are only accredited to certify?  What
happens when everyone is paying for their own traffic cop in the
certification scheme?  How we organizations ensure they are
getting a good audit, and how do we as consumers know the ISO 9001
Certification isn't from a Certificate Mill?  We dig into
these tough questions are more in today's episode of
