A quest for excellence

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is
a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing
International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a
subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that
committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in
the work.
 It is the totality of features and
characteristics of a product or service
that bear upon its ability to satisfy
stated or implied needs.

International accreditation, practicable in approach and methodology.
3. Consistency in the quality of the service will be achieved over a period of
time.
4. Benchmarking of the required Quality of Service levels. In the absence of
any other Internationally accepted industry standards, the ISO Standards will
assist in identifying and setting up an achievable set of Quality of Service
levels, for each function.
5. Awareness of the requirement of achieving high quality standards will get
spread right throughout the Organisation.
6. An Environment Management System can be set up on this basic
framework, resulting in more hygienic working conditions, which are
cleaner and safer.
Reduction in operating costs.
Quality Costs will comprise nearly 35-40% of your total processing
costs today. Even a small percentage reduction in the following costs
will result in tremendous savings to you.
a. Processing, procurement costs and storage costs, by better vendor
evaluation / selection methods, standardisation of requirements, lesser
receiving inspection, follow up costs and rejections.
b. Employee costs, by conducting training / awareness programs,
improving motivation and output levels and reducing employee turnover.
c. Equipment costs, by better utilisation and maintenance practices, like
identification of critical equipment, setting up preventive maintenance
schedules and creating a history register of all the equipment.
d. Customer complaints. A systematic approach and a trained, responsive
and aware staff will reduce customer complaints to a minimum.
Identification, evaluation and definitions of customer need will
accomplish this. Also, prompt action on feed back received through
customer survey forms etc.
