Setting up a quality management office, quality assurance

Considering the importance of the issue of quality in different organizations and also the need for a systematic process with the aim of quality management in the organization, we in the Noor Management Consultants Group (Modirfa) decided to establish a comprehensive quality management office according to the observed needs of various industries in the country. In the organization, we should set up the organizational unit of quality management (quality assurance) along with the description of the processes, duties and responsibilities in the organization. This means that according to the needs and complexity of the organization, the number of people required for the quality management process is estimated and hired in cooperation with the respected employer.

The benefits of setting up a “quality management (quality assurance)” office in the organization

  • The centrality of quality management processes

In the organization, we always need a person directly related to each specific process. We do not confuse this issue with individualism, and we believe that by developing a process-oriented approach in the organization, we will have a comprehensive system consisting of all the personnel of the organization, but always in the process-oriented approach, in order to respond to communication and the effectiveness of the process, an office is designated as the owner or manager of the process. It is done so that if there is a need to refer to the process, the full point is clear.

  • Increasing the satisfaction of customers, employers and other stakeholders

The main goal of the quality management process is to increase customer satisfaction. As far as possible, this index can be considered sufficient to measure the quality management process. If the average customer satisfaction is increasing in an organization, it can be said that the quality management process is being implemented effectively, and otherwise, one should worry about the effectiveness of this process.

  • BI business intelligence driving engine

If you want to improve something, you need to measure it. Until the measurement of the processes is implemented in a systematic way, the improvement plans and the performance status of the organization will be speculative. The existence of a BI business intelligence system and the accountability of the owners of the various processes of the organization to the management dashboards will be a driving engine for the organization, and the level of focus of the senior manager of the organization on this important process is the fuel of this organizational driving engine.

  • Reliable repository of organizational documents

The existence of documents and implementation methods and instructions in the organization should be checked from two perspectives. First of all, when hiring a new person or transferring personnel, one of the important organizational concerns is the training of the person in the new responsibility, which in addition to time and cost, in some cases, causes many mistakes and failures, a process that despite the implementation method and Up-to-date instructions for each process reduce this risk to an acceptable level.

On the other hand, when we want to check the performance of processes or personnel in the organization, we need a standard so that we can measure the amount of deviation from the standard. Up-to-date guidelines and implementation methods are the standards we need.
