ISO 9000 Processes
The new ISO 9000 standards require measurements and assessments for customer satisfaction and management capabilities.
To Quote the standard: Section 4.3 "Successful use of the eight management principles by an organization will result in benefits to interested parties, such as improved monetary returns, the creation of value, and increased stability."
Those eight management principles include:
1) Customer Focus, 2) Leadership, 3) Involvement of people, 4) Process Approach, 5) Systems approach, 6) Continual Improvement, 7) Factual approach to decision-making, and 8) Mutually beneficial supplier relationships.
Section 5 involves Management's responsibility. Subsection 5.1.1 discusses a variety of management activities using the following methods: "Financial Measurement, Process performance Measurements, external measurements-such as benchmarking and third party evaluation, customer satisfaction measurements, product performance measurement from a customer perception, and other success factors identified by management."
We provide reasonably priced assessments that cover the areas of the balanced score card (innovation, organizational agility, customer satisfaction, economic performance, and the company's learning culture). Our effort is to provide 360 degree perspectives and insight surveys that relate to 30 areas of the management process. Our surveys involve managers, employees, customers, and other stakeholder such as vendors. Click Here to view a sample of our ISO 9000 Strategic Management Assessments. The results are statistically quantified, measured against the firm's competition and can be benchmarked for future surveys.
Some of the areas we measure and compare against the competition:
We provide guidance, insights and effective processes that enable management groups to:
- Identify the most beneficial information and knowledge that improve management processes and organizational capabilities
- Determine how each process' sequence and interaction work within the system
- Develop the criteria and methods that ensure the effectiveness in operations and control
- Create organizational support and resource allocation for monitoring these processes
- Develop timely periodic measurement and benchmarking processes
- Develop customer satisfaction surveys and competitive assessments
- Develop supplier surveys and measurement systems
- Identify effective innovation opportunities that align with customer needs
- Implement action planning activities and communication tools while working with teams
