Purpose – The majority of ISO 9001 certification research studies conducted so far are supported by survey methodologies and descriptive statistics. As such, they express conclusions that mainly derived from opinions perceptions about the subject. Thus, it is common to find in open literature references point out highly subjective results such (often somewhat contradictory nature). This paper tries compile main have tried address, with aim describing quality management systems state‐of‐the‐art.
Purpose In the past few years, management systems implementation and certification has become a common practice among different types of organizations. this context, quality certification, according to ISO 9001 standard is in spotlight, due over than 1.000.000 certified organizations by end 2009. Quality can be integrated with an increasing variety other subsystems implemented standards, including environmental systems, health safety, social responsibility, R&D, risk, or human resources,...
In an increasingly dynamic environment where change seems to be the only constant feature, operational excellence programmes are often used achieve improved performance results. However, capacity of such approaches make organisations successful in long term is yet demonstrated. Operational should not seen as approach promote change, but rather provide tools and framing for people organisation deal with it. Our literature-based theory that relationships both organisational culture agility...
New product development is a crucial task for modern corporations. Facing an increasingly competitive and dynamic market, the ability to continuously identify customer needs create products that meet such essential business success. As result, researchers from fields as management, marketing, industrial design engineering have devoted their attention new issues, many references can be found in literature covering this topic.1-5 combines strategic organizational actions with technical effort;...
Purpose – ISO 9001 certification is nowadays considered to be one of the most effective tools that can adopted for guiding management Quality Systems. The stunning growth observed by these standards all over world confirms a strong polarization enterprises' interest in this practice. Owing wide incidence phenomenon, deep investigation diffusion time mandatory importance. research here reported covers development statistical models order characterize evolution on country basis, as well worldwide.
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a comparative analysis and usage overview the most common business excellence models: European Foundation for Quality Management Model, Malcolm Baldrige National Award Deming Prize Model Iberoamerican Excellence in Management. Design/methodology/approach In order achieve such goals, authors have performed set statistical over public data sets, related each one analyzed models, as well making model contents. Findings different models do share...
O descarte inadequado de medicamentos é uma prática comum que representa sérios riscos ao meio ambiente e à saúde pública. Este estudo foi conduzido em Juazeiro do Norte, CE, com o objetivo investigar analisar impacto propor medidas conscientização. Utilizando abordagem mista, foram aplicados questionários realizadas entrevistas 300 participantes, incluindo estudantes residentes locais. Os resultados indicaram a maioria dos entrevistados desconhecia os implementação campanha conscientização...
Purpose Despite all the studies carried out in order to analyze impact of quality management systems implementation and certification over companies' financial performance, conclusions reached so far have been a contradictory nature. Some authors conclude that there is positive relationship between ISO 9001 improvement, while others do not find evidence support such relationship. Overall, no consistent could therefore be found literature concerning business performance. This work aims...
Purpose Despite all the studies carried out in order to analyze impact of quality management systems' implementation and certification on companies' financial performance, conclusions reached so far have a contradictory nature. Some authors conclude that there is positive relationship between ISO 9001 improvement, while others do not find evidence support such relationship. The purpose this paper present main results derived from research project developed economical system performance....
The fundamental principles of chemical product design and associated systematic tools, within a broad domain products including molecules, formulations, devices, are still under development. In this article, we propose simple conceptual model that defines the problem as inversion three central functions: quality, property, process functions. classic iterative cycles problems may be envisioned alternating between evaluation these functions, or in other words synthesis analysis solutions. On...
About 35 years ago, the word 'excellence' entered business lexicon, quickly making its way into quality community. Today, excellence has proved to be a valid initiative by promoting performance improvements in organisations across world. But face of new industrial paradigms, it also faces challenges - some novel and disruptive; old with renewed strength. While many areas, including field quality, discussions regarding future are common, specific case these have been rare. The driver behind...
Purpose This article offers a novel approach that brings together management, engineering and organizational behavior. It focuses on the understanding of dynamics in an era technological change, upholding importance agility cultural paradigm management organizations. Design/methodology/approach In this work, authors present conclusions from set studies carried out organizations operating technical industries. The assessed capabilities these terms operational excellence maturity its impact...
Operational Excellence (OpEx) is understood by the quest to continuously improve performance. While used organizations worldwide, capacity of OpEx programmes make successful in unstable business environments has been challenged. This article aims answer research question what nature relationship between and Organizational Agility truly is. The authors have previously proposed a theoretical framework supporting link Excellence, Culture, Agility. built on strong conceptual background, this...
In stochastic process design and planning optimization problems, the expected value of objective function in face uncertainty is typically evaluated through an n-dimensional integral, where n number uncertain parameters. this paper, suitable integration techniques are presented computational issues discussed relation to parameters model considered. A specialized cubature technique, integrate normally distributed uncertainties, introduced, which for < 10 can reduce significantly effort...
According to the ISO Survey 2005, in December 2004 there were issued nearly 700,000 9000 certificates world, thus reflecting huge importance that certification has assumed for companies across planet. This paper presents results of a research project we are leading Portugal, where try make deeper analysis this worldwide phenomenon. We will provide some key derive from statistical performed over data, which answer following issues: (1) Is relationship between number certified per country and...
ISO 9001 certification motivations can be classified into two main categories: (1) internal motivations; and (2) external motivations. Internal are related with genuine organisational improvement goals (productivity, communication, process performance), while mainly to promotional marketing issues (customer market pressures, share). Some companies that become certified mostly upon the basis of define their goal as 'obtaining registration', thus typically adopt a limited view over scope...
Since they were created in 1987, the ISO 9000 standards provide a unique experience of voluntary adoption and certification entities, covering at present organizations all sizes, sectors natures across globe. In this article we will some key results that derive from statistical analysis performed over richness values compiled time for numbers certified entities world its different countries, their evolution since January 1993 way to December 2001, thus providing what believe be pioneering...
Abstract An approach is presented for conducting multiscale statistical process control (MSSPC), based on a library of basis functions provided by wavelet packets. The proposed explores the improved ability packets in extracting features with arbitrary locations, and having different localizations time‐frequency domain, order to improve detection performances achieved wavelet‐based MSSPC. A novel also developed adaptively selecting best decomposition depth. Such an described detail tested...
