There certainly is. For many years people contracted Quality Management System to ‘Quality System’ (likely still do) it should always have been ‘Management System’. Yes, we can try to improve matters by incorporating control of Quality Planning, Quality Control and Quality Improvement processes into the system to make them business as usual, but…Read more

“The only way that you learn from error is by changing what you do.”
I’m not sure that is absolutely true Tom. You must certainly be prepared to change what you do, but that needs to be preceded by critically examining what happened & as you say knowing what & how you expect to do it. The first part is hopefully relatively easy, but in the…Read more -

“A QMS should be capable of producing a Fiat 500 as well as a Bentley Continental, whilst QI is trying to create the Bentley from the baseline of a Fiat500.”
Of course that has the assumption that the Bentley Continental is a higher ‘quality’ vehicle to the Fiat 500.
If I were driving them down narrow Italian streets one would likely be of higher…Read more -

Not to be dismissive; far from it, I’d love to see this take off. We’ve seen something like this in BS EN 15224 (which still appears current) although it always ran a version behind ISO BS 9001.
The real question being what is likely to make 7101 any more popular than 15224?

Thanks Ian. I do agree that some simple, ‘every day’ processes do not need to be documented – thanks for pointing that out.
Also Ian I see this style of mapping and documenting processes as a forerunner to modelling and documenting processes for IT developments. Once the processes have improved and matured IT developers will have a much better understanding if the process with much reduced variation.
