Some benefits of quality standards are obvious, while others don't get enough fanfare. The pandemic may have impacted how these standards are implemented.
According to experts, the benefits of today’s quality standards are not well known. Take ISO 9001, ISO 14000, and ISO 17021. These standards reinforce quality in any management system, says Steven Wilson, ASQE chair elect.
Why do organizations even today continue to embark on an ISO 9001 implementation project, joining the 1.2 million others around the globe who are certified to this extraordinary quality management system (QMS) model? What’s the staying power? What’s the value – the appeal?
Quality certification is for professionals who know the chosen specialty so well that they can apply the knowledge with known results. The professional knows their own strengths, and the limitation of the specialty.
Looking back at my quality career since 1984, I remember contributing to a quality manual of a Motorola Division in 1987-88 for ISO 9001 certification.
If ever there was a time for risk-based thinking, it would be now. During this strange season, the entire world seems to be shutting down as the pandemic disrupts lives and businesses.
In the ultra-competitive world of professional motorsports, a winning edge can come from a combination of many incremental gains. Arguably few in the industry know this better than Roush Yates Engines located in Mooresville, NC.
With the publication of ISO 45001, the world’s first international standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S) management, businesses can now easily integrate OH&S with their quality and environmental management systems. This provides major benefits to organizations that might not be easy to see.
If you subscribe to Quality, it seems safe to assume that quality is a priority for you. But even when it is a priority, achieving high levels of quality is an ongoing challenge that requires effort from every member of the organization every day.
Quality doesn’t just happen. It doesn’t come as a result of just the corner office, but of countless people in the organization. Achievement of a robust quality culture is an outcome of the combined efforts of the minds and hearts of everyone working together toward a common cause.
