The Kynection One System TQM Series
Let us ask you this: are your business operations important to you? Would you say that good business operations are crucial to your success? Would you say external audits are important when it comes to the ISO quality standard? Would you say internal audits are?
Now, let us answer these questions for you. You absolutely would! You want your business to be a well-oiled, fast going, super efficient, safe, built-to-last, money making machine! And you acknowledge that machines have many moving parts that need to be properly assembled, tested, maintained, and continuously improved and upgraded to maintain their ‘WOW Factor’ of functionality and design. After all, your business is where you are making the ultimate investment of the most precious asset you will ever own – Your time. And so you want it to be worth it.
“Spot On!” you say. “You guys can read my mind!”.
So, now let’s look at some ‘moving parts’ through the lens of ‘Operations’ the way it is defined by the 9001:2015 ISO Quality Standard. The ISO Quality Standard outlines a few key aspects of business planning and control. These include:
- Determining, reviewing, and updating the requirements for products and services
- Customer communication
- Design and development planning, inputs, outputs, and controls
- Control of externally provided processes, products and services
- Information for and from external providers
- Production and service provision
- Identification and traceability
- Property belonging to customers or external providers
- Preservation
- Post-delivery activities
- Control of Changes
- Release of products and services
- Performance of internal audits
- Control of nonconforming outputs and more.
In the previous articles we have discussed What your business is about and Who your interested parties are.
At this stage of our journey we are finally ready to delve into the real world of “Hows” and connect the dots! So here goes:
What – purpose, objectives, goals, mission, vision, market, strategy, products, services etc.
Who – workers, customers, neighbours, partners, regulators, associations, suppliers, competitors etc.
How – Using KIM – ONE SYSTEM!
To manage all of your business operations effectively and efficiently and to be able to spend more time doing the things you really love and enjoy, whilst maintaining a calm peace of mind, you need an easy to use, all-inclusive, digital business solution that you can access from anywhere at any time.
Having one digital platform or integrated management system designed to meet the requirements of the ISO Quality Standard will allow you to continuously meet the changing needs and expectations of your interested parties while staying true to your brand and the passions that made you start your business in the first place!
You might argue and say that you can run your operations like you’ve always done it, but the reality is that you would not have been reading this article right now if you were truly satisfied with your current results and did not see the need to make a change.
Don’t worry, we know that changes can be scary…
And moving from paper to glass with any system can be scary too! For example:
- You might find out how much money you used to waste every month
- How many gaps of compliance you actually never noticed
- How far behind you are with your equipment and facility maintenance
- How out of date your staff training is
- How many performance gaps you can find by running internal audits
- How many defects and customer complaints you could avoid
- How much pollution, contamination, and environmental harm you could avoid
- How much time you have spent putting up with underperforming suppliers
- How ineffective your HR operations really are
- How much smoother your projects and jobs scheduling could actually be… if only…
But, don’t let this fear stop you from taking the most important step forward your business will ever make, looking at a system that provides one simple to use interface from anywhere you operate. Don’t let a temporary fear of automation stand in your way of great operational success! KIM One System might just be the answer you have been looking for.
