I went to see a Facilities Manager for a large installation that used subcontractors to do all the work. His processes were ISO 9000 and he had just passed an audit on which I congratulated him. He said "all this ****** paperwork, I never leave my desk. I have absolutely no idea if the work is being done or being done correctly as I can never get out of my office to check it, but the paperwork is spot on!"
Generally only usefull to larger organisations who have to ensure proper communication and that the approved processes are always being followed so mistokks do not get made.
