ISO 9001 Quality System: An Interpretation for the University
The paper provides an interpretation of the ISO 9001 model for quality assurance in a university environment. The objective is to prepare a framework for successful documentation and implementation of a quality system based on the ISO 9000 international standards in education. The systems approach to quality assurance and the concept of a university production system furnish the basis for a consistent interpretation of all twenty elements of ISO 9001 (1994). An interpreted quality system can then be established in any department, faculty or university seeking explicit quality assurance, i.e. providing confidence to customers that their requirements for quality are met.

The result indicate 20% of the respondents do not understand or unsure about ISO 9000. From descriptive analysis and correlation coefficient testing, the study found the average level of understanding and practice levels is moderate. The coefficient correlation (r) indicates a strong relationship between the level of understanding and the level of practice for ISO 9000with r = .804, n = 73 (p<.001). The study also disclosed that it is a significant correlation exists between the level of understanding QMS ISO 9000 and the level of practice, the value of r = 0....

This paper presents a framework for implementing ISO 9000 total quality culture for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The preliminary data were collected through questionnaire. A total of 73 (87.6%) valid data were analyzed. From descriptive analysis and correlation coefficient testing, the study found the average level of understanding and practice levels is moderate. The coefficient correlation (r) indicates a strong relationship between the level of understanding (LoU) and the level of practice for ISO 9000 with r = .804, n = 73 (p<.001). The study also disclosed that it is a significant correlation exists between the level of understanding QMS ISO 9000 and the level of practice, the value of r = 0.789 (p<0.001). Finally, the study shows strong significant relationships between the level of understanding and practice of the achievement performance (OP) of UUM on the value of r =.796, (p <.001). The study suggested ISO 9000 and Total Quality framework in Higher Education, including-customer requirements, unity of purpose and ISO implementation, organization performance, and continuous improvement.

It is clear that ISO 9000 Quality Management System and Total Quality Management have an extensive literature. However, it is observed that the literature principally focuses on implementation consequences of them. In this study, ISO 9000 Quality Management System certification process in a faculty of a Turkish public university is taken into consideration. However, the study focuses on not only consequences of taking this certification but also its' triggers and processes. To examine these triggers, processes and consequences, data collection methods of the study were semi-structured interviews and unstructured participative observation. In addition, extensive amount of document was used to make triangulation.
