Why Quality Management Systems for Executive Management
Progressive managers know if they aren't moving forward, they are falling behind! Establishing goals and objectives for quality in your company let's you know if you are on a forward moving path. This session is designed to assist executive managers in understanding the need for goals and their role in a quality management system.
A number of aspects within your quality system may be offering you more decision making feedback than you realize.
- Review strategies on how to capture that information.
- Hear what approaches have worked for other firms.
- Learn that you may have systems which are already compliant.
You will work rapidly through each of the elements of the AISC certification criteria. During the presentation of each element, the session will help you:
- Learn what elements require your direct involvement.
- Directly consider your needs for improving resource allocation
- Choosing what needs to be measured. Sensibly choosing the right measures-not too many, not too few-can save money, time and inspire quality.
- Leave with clear company objectives and tools to measure and implement them. The language of management is money-you can translate quality objectives into potential savings discovering the cost of 'non-quality.'
