That's the main gripe that I have about ISO certification.  It doesn't care if
they're _GOOD_ procedures, just that they're documented and followed by
everyone.  Companies unable, through their own incompetence, to properly
implement MRP can get ISO certification.  Other than the clout it gives you in
dealing with European companies, ISO is about as meaningful as an apology from
Bill Clinton, IMO...
