Övergångsprocessen till ISO 9001:2015 : Metoder och hjälpverktyg inför skiftet till ISO 9001:2015 / Transition to ISO 9001:2015

Thorman, Philip, Yousef, Adnan January 2017 (has links)
Utgångspunkten i arbetet har varit att belysa den generella bilden vid en övergångsprocess, där metoderna och hjälpverktygen är tillämpliga på alla företag som ska göra övergången till ISO9001:2015. Vidare har case-företagets nuläge studerats ingående med en lämpliga metoder för att visa på hur detta kan göras samt vilken vikt det har för att underlätta övergången till en ny standard. Arbetet syftar därmed till att underlätta övergångsprocessen till ISO9001:2015 (Se figur 1)   1)      Vilka metoder är lämpliga att använda för att kartlägga nuläget gällande ISO9001?  Frågeställningen har besvarats genom att data har samlats in med hjälp av flera olika metoder. Dessa jämfördes sedan med varandra för att komma fram till vilka skillnader och likheter som fanns. Metoderna som användes var, enkätundersökning, samtal och en egenutvecklad metod ”metod för egenbedömning”. Analysen genomfördes och resultatet visar på att de olika metoderna kom fram till delvis olika resultat. Vidare är det såldes viktigt att analysera ett nuläge för mer än 1 perspektiv och genom olika metoder. 2)      Vilka skillnader finns mellan ISO9001:2008 och ISO9001:2015?  Den använda metoden för att fastställa de skillnader som fanns mellan standarderna utgjordes av en gap-analys. Analysen genomfördes genom att följande krav i ISO9001:2015 och dess korrelation i ISO9001:2008 jämfördes och skillnaden (gapen) kunde identifieras.(Se Figur 11) 3)      Vilka hjälpverktyg passar företag inför en enkel och effektiv övergång till ISO9001:2015? Nuläget har satts i relation till 3 kritiska faktorer som enligt Poksinska[8] är avgörande vid implementering av en ny standard. Utifrån dessa faktorer har relevanta hjälpmedel konstruerats för att företag ska kunna gå från sitt nuläge till en ny standard på bästa möjliga sätt. De nya krav som fastställdes i gap-analysen måste organisationer uppfylla för att bli certifierade enligt ISO9001:2015. Relevanta metoder har därför tagits fram utifrån de upplevda svårigheterna och behov företag hade i övergångsprocessen som fastställdes i O. Makie, B. Haxha examensarbete 2016 [2]. Dessa metoder kan direkt tillämpas i alla Sveriges företag oavsett vilken verksamhet som bedrivs i syfte att smidiggöra övergångsprocessen till ISO9001:2015.   Resultatet av denna studie är de hjälpverktyg och metoder som tagits fram och dessa har sitt ursprung antigen från företagets nuläge eller från gap-analysen. Det har även varit viktigt att sätta dessa verktyg och metoder i relation till den teori som behandlats för att visa på att de fyller ett syfte och har en vetenskapligrund. Hjälpverktygen kan direkt tillämpas ute hos företag och kan komma att bli en del i det vardagliga kvalitetsledningsarbetet. / The key point in this thesis has been to illustrate the overall picture of a transitions process where the tools and methods are applicable on all companies that will make the transition to ISO9001:2015. Furthermore has the case company’s current situation been thoroughly studied with suitable methods to prove how this can be done and the importance it has to easen the transition to a new standard. The key is to ease the transition process to ISO9001:2015 (figure 1). Which methods are suited to determine the current situation regarding ISO9001? This has been answered by collecting data by using many different methods. The methods were then compared to each other to figure out which differences and similarities there was. The used methods are: serveys, dialogues and a self-developed method ”metod för egen bedömning” (method of self-assessment). The analysis was conducted and the results show that the different methods came to partially different results. Furthermore, it’s important to analyze a subject from more than one perspective and by using different methods.  2. What are the differences between ISO9001:2008 and ISO9001:2015?   The method that were being used to determine the differences that existed between the standard systems consisted of a gap-analysis. The analysis was carried out by comparing the following demands in ISO9001:2015 and its correlation in ISO9001:2008 and the difference (the gaps) could be identified (Figure 11).  3. Which auxiliary tools are suited for companies facing a simple and effective transition to ISO9001:2015? The current situation has been put in relation to three important and critical factors which, according to Poksinska[8], are crucial when implementing a new standard. Relevant tools have been designed based on these factors to allow companies to ascend to the new standard in the best possible fashion. Companies must fulfill the new standards, determined by the gap-analysis, to be certified by ISO9001:2015. Relevant methods have been constructed from the difficulties and needs the companies experienced during the transition process as determined by O. Makie, B. Haxha thesis 2016 [2]. These methods can be directly applied to all Swedish companies, no matter what kind of business the company is conducting, to make the transition to ISO9001:2015 as simple as possible. The results from this thesis are the tools and methods that was produced and these have got their origin from the company’s current situation or from the gap-analysis. It has also been important to relate these tools and methods to the theory that has been processed to show their purpose and that they are supported by a scientific basis. The auxiliary tools can be directly applied and could come to be a part of the everyday quality management.

Ger certifiering enligt ISO 20000 kvalitetshöjande effekter? : Inom IT pågår ett paradigmskifte i form av att företagens egenproducerade IT‐miljöer håller på att bytas ut till förmån för köpta tjänster som populärt kallas "molntjänster". Hur vet jag som köpare att en leverantör med bra prissättning klarar av de kvalitativa krav som ställs på tillgänglighet, kvalitet och utveckling? / Provides certification under the ISO 20000 quality impacts? : It is a ongoing paradigm shift within IT Management in the form of corporate self-produced IT environments are being replaced in favor of purchased services as popular is called "cloud services". How do I know as a buyer that a vendor with good pricing cope with the qualitative requirements?

Svender, Mikael January 2009 (has links)
Inom IT pågår ett paradigmskifte i form av att företagens egenproducerade IT‐miljöer håller på att bytas ut till förmån för köpta tjänster som populärt kallas "molntjänster", vilket förenklat kan översättas till elföretagens reklam "2 hål i väggen". Hur vet jag som köpare att en leverantör med bra prissättning klarar av de kvalitativa krav som ställs på tillgänglighet, kvalitet och utveckling? Det finns samtidigt en ny kvalitetsstandard, ISO/IEC 20000 som är inriktad på styrning av tjänsteleveranser inom IT, är standarden svaret på kundernas behov av mätning och uppföljning? Som leverantör ställer man sig frågan, är det värt mödan att certifiera sig enlig ISO20000? Arbetshypotesen är "Ger certifiering enligt ISO20000 kvalitetshöjande effekter?". Arbetet påvisar att ISO 20000 är väl uppbyggd enligt gällande kvalitetsteorier och att kvalitetscertifiering enligt ISO20000 ger goda förutsättningar för kvalitetshöjande effekt på IT­-företagens tjänsteleveranser.

The impact of ISO9001 on service delivery at the logistics department of a brewery in Gabon

Ayong, Axel Henrick Nze January 2020 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2020 / Over the past decade, under the increasingly competitive business environment, many sub-Saharan African ISO9001 certified firms are struggling continuously to improve their business processes. Adversely, the lack of continuous improvement after implementating ISO9001 in many services-oriented organizations in Gabon has contributed to the erosion of quality in service delivery. Thus, this study investigates the impact of ISO9001 on service delivery at the logistics department of a brewery in Gabon. The study also identifies the key factors affecting ISO9001 implementation in organizations and exploring standard measurements of ISO9001 on service delivery. A mixed-methods approach, which includes both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in this study. The researcher used qualitative techniques to collect data from interviews, site observations, and document analysis. A questionnaire (n=135) was distributed in the company to obtain an understanding of the views of the respondents. Data were analyzed through the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 24. The Cronbach's Alpha value was used to measure the internal consistency of the dataset, and the Spearman‘s rank correlation tests was used to assess on the sets of questions/ statements posed to the logistics department employees. Ethical issues were well-considered during the research process. The research findings indicate that managers should ensure that employees are regularly trained, and, organizational culture is well established and understood by everyone in the organization.

Uppbyggnad av kvalitetsledningssystem enligt ISO 9001 : En analysstudie för förberedelse inför certifiering av ISO 9001:2015

Garbac, Michelle, Hedberg, Oscar January 2021 (has links)
This report presents the performance and results of an analysis study conducted at a small company in the foundry business. The purpose of the study has been to prepare the company for a certification of the quality standard ISO 9001: 2015. The reason for the study is to create a foundation for a future quality management certification for a small company that wants to develop its business and expand its customer base. The study begins with a description of the problem, which involves an examination of the gap that exists between the company's current quality management system and the requirements of ISO 9001. The collection of all essential information in the form of relevant theories and data has taken place through theory research and informative meetings with the company's management. The workflow is described to clarify what the process looked like. A description of the current situation is given to gain understanding of the starting point and to have as a basis for analysis of deficient functions and processes within the business. In the analysis a comparison is made of the current situation with the requirements set in the ISO 9001 standard, and then proposals for measures to cover the analyzed gaps are presented. The results of the study give the company a thorough description of what measures are required to be able to accomplish an approved certification. The study provides suggestions for concrete measures such as which platform can be used to create a quality management system, which managing documents should be included, suggestions for quality goals and how these should be measured regularly. Descriptions of important core processes in the form of routines with associated templates have been produced to create continuity. With the help of these measures, a suggestion of a functioning management system was presented that is suitable for the smaller business.

IT Supported Construction Project Management Methodology Based on Process and Product Model and Quality Management / Eine Methodologie für das IT-unterstützte Bauprojektmanagement auf der Grundlage von Prozess- und Produktmodellen und Qualitätsmanagement

Goekce, Kamil Umut 25 September 2008 (has links) (PDF)
Computer Integrated Construction Project Management (CPM) supported by product and process models can be seen as a future type of integration structure facilitating the solution of various management problems in the fragmented Construction Industry. The key to success is directly correlated with the comprehensive integration of currently isolated IT applications. However, despite that a number of initiatives have been developed, no fully generic models have yet to be formally standardized. This topic has been the subject of intensive research during the last decades. In this thesis a Computer Integrated CPM approach, which is supported by IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) and ISO9001:2000 Quality Management System, is proposed. The main aim is to provide integration of product, process and organizational information to help achieve the interoperability of the involved actors and tools in a concurrent environment. According to implied requirements which are represented in the ‘state of the art’ section, the fundamental concepts are presented in two parts as: (1) realization of CPM in an IT concept and (2) formalization of IFC Views for software interoperability on the example of Bidding Preparation Phase. In order to realize a generic framework using a high-level process core model named Organizational Management Process (OMP) model, different aspects have been brought together into a consistent life cycle structure. These are: (1) a set of layered processes based on ISO procedural definitions, (2) software integration requirements based on Construction Management Phases, (3) application methods of the Procurement System and (4) Organizational data. This provides for synchronizing technical products, processes, documents, and actors in their inter-relationship. The framework is hierarchically structured in three layers Phases – Processes - Product data. The developed IT Management Processes (ITMP) which are used as a baseline for the IFC Views implementation are derived from the OMP. Moreover, in order to support completeness, a mapping structure between processes and scenarios based on the Procurement Systems was constituted. The representation of OMP and ITMP is provided by using the ARIS eEPC (extended event-driven process chain) modeling method. On the basis of a generalized representation of product data, a system-wide integration model for heterogeneous client applications which supports different CPM areas can be achieved. IFC Product Data Model integrates different domains thereby enabling coordination of bidding preparations. However, there is a need to realize individual model subsets. i.e. views of the product model. In this context, adaptable views were developed based on ITMP. The defined resources’ relevancies to IFC Objects are examined by realizing central information elements. These provide a mapping structure between process resources and IFC Classes. On that basis integration of process and product models can be accomplished. In order to realize IFC Views, IFC Concepts and IFC Instance Diagrams were developed based on IFC View Definition Format. The grouping of IFC Concepts enables the implementation of the adaptable IFC Views that are required for standardized system integration. This is achieved with the help of formal specification using the Generalized Subset Definition Schema. The validation has been made based on an alphanumerical comparison. The selected 3D full-model and the developed IFC View for Product Catalog models are compared in this context. There are two consequences observed. In the first case, which also addresses Unit Price Procurement systems, the desired results were obtained by filtering the required data. However, when the results were compared for Design &amp;amp; Build and Lump-sum Procurement Systems (contracts), an extension need was observed in the IFC Model. The solution is provided via formalization of cost data and material analysis information by an extension of IFC Concept namely ‘IfcConstructionResource’ with new classes and with new relations. Thereby a common information model based on the data schema of the IFC standard is constituted. / Das von Produkt- und Prozessmodellen unterstützte computerintegrierte Bauprojektmanagement (CPM) kann als der zukünftige Typ der Integrationsstruktur angesehen werden, der die Lösung verschiedener Baumanagementprobleme in der fragmentierten Bauindustrie erleichtern kann. Der Schlüssel zum Erfolg steht in direkter Beziehung zu einer umfassenden Integration derzeit getrennter IT-Anwendungen. Trotz zahlreich entwickelter Ansätze, die zur Verfügung gestellt wurden, sind bisher noch keine vollständig generischen Modelle formell standardisiert worden, obwohl dies in den letzten Jahrzehnten ein Thema intensiver Forschung war. In dieser Promotionsschrift wird eine computerintegrierte CPM-Methode, die auf Basis der IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) und dem Qualitätsmanagement ISO 9001:2000 aufbaut, vorgeschlagen. Das Hauptziel besteht in der Schaffung der Integration von Produkt-, Prozess- und Organisationsinformationen, um die Interoperabilität der beteiligten Akteure und Tools in einer parallelen Umgebung erreichen zu können. Entsprechend den Anforderungen, die im Abschnitt „Stand der Technik“ aufgeführt sind, werden die vorgeschlagenen, grundlegenden Konzepte in zwei Bereiche aufgeteilt: (1) Umsetzung der CPM-Prozesse in ein IT-Konzept und (2) Formalisierung der IFC-Sichten für die Interoperabilität von Software, beispielhaft ausgeführt für die der Ausschreibungsphase. Um einen generischen Rahmen unter Verwendung eines hochrangigen Prozesskernmodells, das als organisatorischer Managementprozess (OMP) bezeichnet wird, zu realisieren, werden zuerst die verschiedenen Aspekte in einer konsistenten Lebenszyklenstruktur zusammengefügt. Diese sind: (1) eine Menge hierarchisch geschichteter Prozesse, erstellt auf der Grundlage der Verfahrensdefinitionen von ISO 9001, (2) die Softwareintegrationsanforderungen auf der Grundlage der Baumanagementphasen, (3) die Anwendungsmethoden des Beschaffungssystems und (4) die Organisationsdaten. Dadurch wird die Synchronisation der in Wechselbeziehung stehenden technischen Produkte, Prozesse, Dokumente und Akteure geschaffen. Das gesamte System ist hierarchisch in die drei Ebenen Phasen – Prozesse – Produktdaten strukturiert. Die entwickelten IT-Managementprozesse (ITMP), die als Grundlage für die IFC-Implementierungssichten dienen, werden aus dem OMP hergeleitet. Der Vollständigkeit halber, wird eine Abbildungsstruktur zwischen den Prozessen und den Szenarien, die die Beschaffungssysteme beschreiben, entwickelt. Die Darstellung der OMP und ITMP erfolgt unter Verwendung der erweiterten ereignisgesteuerten Prozessketten (eEPK) nach der ARIS-Modelliermethode. Auf der Grundlage einer verallgemeinerten Darstellung der Prozessdaten kann das systemweite Integrationsmodell für heterogene Client-Anwendungen, das verschiedene CPM-Bereiche unterstützt, erreicht werden. Das IFC-Produktdatenmodell integriert verschiedene Domänen und ermöglicht somit die Koordinierung der hier beispielhaft gewählten Ausschreibungsbearbeitungen. Hierzu ist es notwendig, Teilmodelle, d. h. Sichten des Produktmodells zu erzeugen. Entsprechend wurden anpassbare Sichten auf der Grundlage von ITMP entwickelt. Die Bedeutung der in diesem Zusammenhang identifizierten Informationsprozessressourcen in Bezug auf die IFC-Objekte wurde durch die Einführung zentraler Informationselemente, sog. IFC Concepts, untersucht. Diese stellen eine Abbildungsstruktur zwischen den Prozessressourcen und IFC-Klassen zur Verfügung. Auf dieser Grundlage konnte die Integration von Prozess- und Produktmodellen erreicht werden. Um die IFC-Sichten zu realisieren, wurden auf der Grundlage des IFC-Sichtendefinitionsformats IFC-Konzepte und IFC-Instanzendiagramme entwickelt. Die Gruppierung in IFC-Konzepten ermöglichte die Implementierung von anpassbaren IFC-Sichten, die für die standardisierte Systemintegration erforderlich sind. Diese wird mit Hilfe einer formellen Spezifikation unter Verwendung der verallgemeinerten Subset-Definitionsschema-Methode (GMSD) erreicht. Die Validierung erfolgte auf der Grundlage eines alphanumerischen Vergleichs, in dem ein ausgewähltes 3D-Produktmodell und die daraus entwickelte IFC-Sicht für das Produktkatalogmodell verglichen wurden. Es ergaben sich zwei Schlussfolgerungen. Im ersten Fall, der auch das Einheitspreisbeschaffungssystem betrifft, konnten die gewünschten Ergebnisse direkt durch Filterung der erforderlichen Daten erhalten werden. Beim Vergleich der Ergebnisse sowohl für Pauschal-, als auch für Entwurfs- und Baubeschaffungssysteme (Verträge) wurde jedoch festgestellt, dass für das IFC-Modell ein Erweiterungsbedarf besteht. Eine Lösung wurde über die Formalisierung der Kostendaten und Materialanalyseinformationen durch Erweiterung des IFC-Konzepts IfcBauRessource mit neuen Klassen und mit neuen Beziehungen erreicht. Somit erhält man ein allgemeines Informationsmodell auf der Grundlage des Datenschemas des IFC-Standards.

The first step is a broad description of the ACE Operating System to introduce this system to the academy. The second step is the study of the interrelationship between the two theoretical systems. In the third stage are studied the relationship between the practices prescribed for the two systems in one UTC manufacturing unit. The identification and analysis of the interrelations in this study have made an organized structure that allows the planning of a project of unification of the systems. Another important contribution of this study is the use of the method for analyzing the interrelations between others systems.

Preparing to overcome the barriers of implementing a quality management system : A case study of EDB Card Services AS

Sandström, David, Svanberg, Marcus January 2011 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to see how an organization can prepare themselves to overcome the barriers when implementing a quality management system. When introducing a new management system regardless of its intentions, there are several obstacles, or rather barriers, which an organization will face and ultimately have to deal with in order to assure a successful implementation of a QMS. Not knowing beforehand what problems may arise from adopting a new management system may halter the process of introducing the new management system and add costs, resources, and time to the introduction phase. Although there are general barriers and problems with implementing a quality management system, there are also specific barriers for each and every organization. It is of significant importance that organizations become aware of those areas of which they need to pay the most attention to when implementing a QMS. There will be forces for and against the change process of a QMS and the latter needs to be anticipated and dealt with for a successful implementation of a QMS. By using a case organization and the managers within, we were able to assess the pre-conditions at the organization and identify which barriers that were specific for them. As managers are the ones implementing the new system as well as controlling, maintaining and continuously improving it, it was necessary for us to acquire their opinions and ideas. A qualitative research approach was taken and semi-structured interviews were held at the case organization EDB Card Services AS in Mo i Rana, Norway, which included 6 managers ranging from administrative level to operations level. We found that the biggest barrier for the case organization was the fact that departments were not as inter-dependent, but rather independent from each other which is not compatible with a quality management system. It was evident that the departments could learn from each other and that spreading knowledge and proper documentation had to be improved. At the case organization one of their specific barriers were the sharing and handling of documents, this barrier could be eliminated by educating staff and managers of how to make proper documents with a clear purpose, and distribute documents to the right person at the right time. The managers were motivated and willing to spend time assuring that the quality requirements of the QMS is maintained however stressed the fact that more resources would be needed in order to achieve this. Our findings lead us to believe that general guidelines for how to implement a QMS are insufficient to successfully handle the inherent problems and barriers when changing from“what is”, to “what could be”. The specific barriers which arise when organization take a look at themselves and identify these are probably more likely to affect the implementation process more than those that are general. We came to the conclusion that EDB Card Services AS needs to deal with the barriers that we identified as forces against a QMS, namely: departmental barriers, documentation of processes and procedures, leadership, resources, and information sharing and documentation. To effectively prepare the organization for the implementation of a QMS these barriers needs to be dealt with. Furthermore, we recommend that the organization educate and train those responsible for the introduction of a QMS and that an independent steering group/committee is established.
