THE STANDARD: BIZPHYX Quality Newsletter
TL 9000 Logo February 2012   |   Volume 9

 
  
Greetings!
2012 has started off in a frenzy as we already have several clients certifying to TL 9000, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 in the next few months.  Many new TL 9000 initiatives were discussed at the 2012 QuEST Forum Leadership Summit in January and BIZPHYX executives remain extremely involved in these projects, including Bob's recent trip to India delivering TL 9000 Overview Education in four cities with the India Hub.  Please visit the new section of our website dedicated to TL 9000 global training with portal pages already set-up for India and China. 
 
This year we're launching a new format for the THE STANDARD. You'll find it's shorter to read but contains more content that you can link to including articles on our blog (support desk) and our branded YouTube channel, where we will be posting more quality education tips and news throughout the year.  There's also a new customer spotlight page on our website featuring podcasts of clients who are sharing their stories about certifying to a quality standard!  Don't forget to register for the Advanced Quality course being offered on March 8, 2012.  This course satisfies your TL 9000 requirement for Advanced Quality training.  
 
This year is going to be eventful, so encourage colleagues and friends to subscribe to THE STANDARD.  It's full of quality news you can actually use!  
 
Sue Clancy, President
