De senaste åren har bra kvalitet blivit allt mer viktigt för kunder, leverantörer och konsumenter. Kraven för bra kvalitet blir allt högre på produkter och tjänster. På grund av detta är det många företag som väljer att certifiera sig enligt kvalitetsledningssystemet ISO 9001. Även Corporate social responsibility har många företag infört. Syftet med det är att ta ett större ansvar mot befolkningen och för miljön. Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka hur små företag kan implementera ISO 9001 med hjälp av Corporate Social Responsibility på ett effektivt sätt i företaget. Det har genomförts en enkätundersökning i syfte att undersöka hur många små företag i Gävleborgs-. Dalarnas- och Uppsalalän som är certifierade enligt ISO 9001 samt vad de har för syn på kvalitet och Corporate social responsibility. Det har genomförts intervjuer på Gefle kartong & Display. De som deltog i intervjun är operatörer ifrån produktionen i Karlstad och två stycken personer ifrån ledningen. Detta gjordes för att se hur de i nuläget arbetar med kvaliteten inom företaget och för att se vad de har för inställning till att i framtiden införa och certifiera sig enligt ISO 9001. ISO 9001 är ett kvalitetsledningssystem som reglerar hur ett företag ska jobba med kvaliteten inom verksamheten. De företag som väljer att certifiera sig enligt ISO 9001 måste uppfylla de krav som finns inom ISO 9001 standarden för att kunna certifiera sig. Av de företag som svarade på enkäten var det inte många som var certifierade enligt ISO 9001. Det var många av företagen som hade ledningssystem som de hade utformat själva. Utifrån intervjuerna upptäcktes det att företaget inte har något standardiserat arbetssätt för hur de jobbar med kvaliteten inom företaget. När ett kvalitetsledningssystem ska införas är det viktigt att alla i verksamheten är involverade i arbetet. Detta för att alla ska känna sig delaktiga och för att förstå varför arbetet genomförts. Det finns starka tendenser till att Corporate social responsibility är lättare att införa i en verksamhet som redan har ett fungerande kvalitetsledningssystem. / In the last years good quality has become increasingly important for customers, suppliers and consumers. Quality requirements are becoming higher on products and services. Because of this, many companies choose to obtain certification under the quality management system ISO 9001. Many enterprises have introduced Corporate social responsibility in the organization. The purpose of it is to take a greater responsibility toward people and the environment. The purpose of this work is to investigate how small businesses can implement ISO 9001 with help of Corporate Social Responsibility in an efficient way in the company. In this study I identify how many small businesses in Gävleborg- Dalarnas- Uppsala County are certified according to ISO 9001 and what their approach to quality and Corporate Social Responsibility are. Interviews have been done at Gefle Kartong & Display. Those who participated in the interview are operators and management from production in Karlstad. This was done to see how they are currently working on the quality of the company and to see what their attitude to the future introduction and certification under ISO 9001. ISO 9001 is a quality management system that regulates how a company should work with the quality of operations. Companies that choose to become certified according to ISO 9001 must meet the requirements of the ISO 9001 standard to be certified. Of the companies that responded to the survey were not many who were certified according to ISO 9001. It was many of the companies that had management that they had designed themselves. From the interviews, it was discovered that the company does not have a standardized approach to how they work with the quality of the company. When a quality management system to be introduced, it is important that all the activities involved in the work. This is for everyone to feel involved and to understand why the work carried out. There are strong tendencies to Corporate social responsibility is easier to implement in a business that already have a quality management system.

Este trabalho apresenta uma abordagem generalista das estruturas pré-moldadas de concreto nos edifícios de pequena altura (até 12 m), excluídos os galpões. É analisada a questão da qualidade na produção dessas estruturas sob as recomendações da série ISO 9000. São analisados os tópicos mais relevantes para a elaboração dos projetos dessas estruturas. Um estudo de caso escolhido ilustra as peculiaridades no desenvolvimento do projeto de estrutura pré-moldada nesta categoria. As conclusões obtidas retratam a quebra de alguns paradigmas brasileiros para o emprego das estruturas pré-moldadas: a) A qualidade das estruturas de concreto pode ser controlada por um sistema de gestão da qualidade internacionalmente reconhecido e empregado nos mais diferentes processos de produção de bens e serviços. b) Os índices técnico-econômicos evidenciam que mesmo em uma estrutura com característica não modular e pequena área construída pode ser empregado o concreto pré-moldado. / This work presents a general focus on precast concrete structures for low height buildings (up to 12 meters) not including storage sheds. The work is an analysis of the question of production quality of such structures according to the recommendation of the serie \'ISO 9000\'. Also, the most relevant topics for the elaboration of the projects for the focused strutures are analysed. A study of a chosen case illustrates the peculiarity of the development of the project for the precast struture for the chosen category of buildings. The final conclusion of the study demonstrates a break for the brazilian paradigma on the use of the precast concrete structures: a) The quality of the precast concrete structures can be controlled by the same quality control system widely known worldwide and used for controlling quality of production of a wide range of products and services as well. b) The technical-economics rates are shown with sharp evidence that even a small and non-modular precast structure within a small construction area can be object of precast concrete.

In today’s society we are surrounded by large amounts of information, quick decisions and high expectations to perform successfully in everything we do. As a statistical agency, Statistics Sweden is responsible for producing some of the information that is used for decision-making in society and is therefore under constant internal and external pressure to perform well. The responsibility to produce high-quality statistics to all customers and users is not simple. What is the quality of the statistics produced? How do we assure and control the quality of the statistics? Do we use our resources efficiently? These are important questions, which need to be addressed. One way of addressing these and other issues is to work with quality in a systematic fashion. Thus there is a need for a Quality Management System, i.e., a systematic way to handle quality issues of all kinds in all parts of the organization, and to continue the journey towards the vision of being a “world class statistical agency”. This Masters thesis is a description and discussion of the efforts to find a suitable Quality Management System. The thesis starts with a discussion about the vague quality concept, continues with a description of numerous frameworks, methods and systems related to quality management as well as their pros and cons and ends with a recommendation for Statistics Sweden. The recommendation is to use the EFQM Excellence Model as a quality framework, Six Sigma as a tool-box for improvement projects and modern internal auditing methods for evaluation and follow-up. Finally, issues related to the implementation of the system are discussed.

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.
