NEXT MEETING - ASQ London Section 0403 presents…. QMS Audits as an Enabler for Organizational Change Date: Sept. 9,
2010 Location:
Best Western Stoneridge Inn & Conference Centre Guest Speaker:
Denis Devos started his career as a Quality Assurance Engineer at General
Motors, where he led the first ISO 9001 implementation for a General Motors
plant in North America. For the past ten years, Denis has been working
full-time with clients on quality systems improvement, lean manufacturing,
internal auditing, training, and leading organizations to their next level
with customized support for the implementation of ISO 9001 and TS 16949. Denis Devos will explain to us how Quality Management System Audits are not just for assessing compliance with customer requirements or a QMS Standard, but can be used by Senior Management to gauge the performance of their organization. Examples will be used to show how Quality Management System Audits can be an important tool to assist with organizational turn-around. Although third-party audits can be used for this purpose, this presentation will focus on the role of internal audits as the enabler for organizational change. At the most basic level, an internal audit is the “checking” function of Plan-Do-Check-Act. As an organization creates its turn-around strategy, it is planning to accomplish a certain set of objectives. As the organization undertakes to do the tasks and complete the projects associated with the strategy, senior management will need to check on progress, and act to respond to challenges facing their objectives. Wise organizations will make deliberate and frequent use of their internal auditing resources to continuously monitor progress. 6:30pm Networking RSVP to: Joe DaSilva – jadasilva2@mmm.com |
