Quality Management’s Strategic Importance in 2022
Quality is integral in an organisation’s strategic and business objectives. It continuously expands and is primarily driven by consumer safety considerations. Thus, quality management responsibilities and expectations will constantly increase and change. Quality professionals must remain in tune with the industry’s dynamism to deliver organisational value. Quality has become more integrated with different departments, and knowing how to prioritise initiatives and investments is paramount.
The increased need for quality in each sector will likely raise questions about its projection in the upcoming years. Knowledge about emerging quality management trends is vital for organisations and quality managers seeking to improve efficiency. The quality management trends that are expected in 2022 and beyond reflect the continued need for adaptation and risk management. In light of new challenges, quality management remains a priority for health production and service performance, especially compliance.
Our SHEQX (Health, Safety, Environment and Quality) management solution aggregates SHEQ data in a single, auditable database and manages analysis and reporting effectively, ensuring effective compliance and a more robust approach to corporate sustainability.
Here are some current and anticipated quality management trends to help your organisation be at the top of management obligations:
Supplier-specific Quality Standards
Implementing supplier-specific quality standards reduces the risks associated with uncertain and inconsistent supply chain management.
Change Management Programmes
Organisations are replacing ad hoc work practices with more consistent approaches to ensure valuable knowledge transfer and as a means to increase consumer satisfaction. This way, the knowledge from a particular resource used on a quality measurable effectively transfers it to other or new resources that will undertake the responsibility.
Quality Management is constantly changing
Quality management experiences continuous change and is now being integrated into Project Management. It emphasises processes and resources and how all levels of an organisation function.
Lean Management
Continued business improvement is achieved with Lean principles. It is less expensive and easy to implement while delivering quick, quantifiable improvements.
Strategic Quality Planning
As quality professionals are accountable for organisational results, they must dedicate time and effort to developing the appropriate quality programmes. Each programme must relate to a key strategic imperative per the quality management team.
