Do companies applying ISO have higher levels of TQM than companies that are not applying it? Is the certification advantageous for companies in order to attain a TQM system?

Regarding ISO 9000, the results show that the only clear improvement is in product quality. Managers agree that certification was useful in the initial stages of quality system implementation, mainly because they improved their production process through the development of work procedures, creating an atmosphere in which quality played an important role and defining responsibilities and duties. Initially, ISO 9000 certification was a competitive tool because it was still a novelty. However, today, certification is no longer a competitive advantage, but a prerequisite to play in the market.

Sun (2000) points out that certified companies have higher levels in some TQM dimensions: quality information, product quality assurance, process management, and cooperation with customers.
