Quality Plan. Redesigning the procedures

Putting a quality plan into practice can require you to redesign certain work procedures. To carry out a redesign process it is necessary to:

Analyze the processes that the company develops from the client’s perspective. Study how the different processes and tasks give value to the client. Certain processes that many companies develop don’t give value to the client and can be eliminated.

Eliminate tasks. Certain tasks can be eliminated by reorganizing work methods.

Redesign tasks. Some critical tasks should be redesigned to improve quality, customer services and the speed to which employees answer.

Establish procedures. Fix rules and procedures.

Analyzing the processes and establishing procedures form part of the quality processes that have the following fundamental aspects:

1. Service is given responding to some established specifications.

2. The organization should focus on satisfying the client.

3. Establish some demanding parameters.

4. These parameters are going to continuously measure and control.

5. Make sure specific channels exist to attend to the unsatisfactory clients and inform them of the possible actions.

Establishing a total quality system means you have a continuous quality control process.

1. Research the consumers with the aim of finding out what quality standards they demand in every product or service.

2. Let the employees know the actions they need to take in order to reach the quality level. Communicate the results.

3. Create incentives and acknowledgement to motivate the workers. Get the employees to focus on the client not only as a philosophy but establishing incentives and acknowledgement. It is necessary to hand out money to accompany the quality declarations.

4. Periodic control of the deviations. Analyze the results obtained and compare them with the established objectives in the plan.

5. The management should commit to solving problems. It is essential that the management commits to improving the quality system. The commitment demands aligning the incentives, training, and evaluation of the employees with the client satisfaction.
