IOW ISO provides a paper trail for lawyers....nothing else if a company is
already highly credible.

Having worked on the design, development, verification, and validation of
life-critical medical devices (cardiac defibrillators), I can
categorically state that process matters. A lot. ISO-9xxx is not
appropriate for most manufacturing but if your life hangs in the balance,
you had better hope and pray that the manufacturers of whatever instrument
is about to help you see another day take their process seriously. People
expressing the attitude that ISO-9xxx had "no benefit at all" were
vigorously encouraged to find another line of work and quickly. When the
product use environment is both complex and high-risk, design and
production processes are absolutely critical.

REPLY:
Exactly why it's a waste of time. Nobody cares about the "work process".
They care about the product.
A company can be in full compliance and still turn out junk.
Carefully documented junk.
ISO 9xxx is a perfect example of bureaucratic meddling with no benefit at
all.
Wise up, people.
