A problem has emerged since the rapid development of quality standards - ISO 9000, as companies had many difficulties in applying these standards, especially in a matter of costs.
Telare - the leading quality certification agency in New Zealand, after researching the market, has presented a quality management system (QMS) but simpler and easier way apply basic standards of ISO9000, in a still used. This system contains all the essential requirements, a company, a good relationship with the customer to maintain and their faith in the product or to keep service. This system is referred to as Q.Base.
For some issues Q.Base not clarify how in ISO9000, but requires companies to build some basic standards. A company can start from Q.Base system and develop its standards according to ISO9000. Q.Base is very flexible and any company can apply this system in accordance with the real business condition. This system is a very necessary tool to manage small and medium-sized enterprises, not only in the management of the quality of work.
Q.Base system is a collection of quality management experience in New Zealand and some other countries such as Denmark, Canada, Australia Sweden. Q.Base focuses on the key aspects of the management of the quality of work and policies; the review of contract with customers and suppliers of the chain; in the management of resources, process and complete products; manage audit, documents and training and improvement of the quality.
Q.Base is not such an international standard as ISO9000, but it is more and more generally used as standard in the certification a system for the quality requirements or not. Q.Base used the principles used ISO9000 but in lighter and more applicable way, especially on small and medium-sized enterprises have just developed your QMS.
Q.Base, consists entirely of the fundamental factors of a quality assurance system that help a company to the main business activities in its operation to control. It focuses on the sharing of responsibilities and delegation which makes responsible employees for their actions.
To meet all requirements of the Q.Base can the company of apply new quality standards and gradually to meet all requirements of the ISO9000 (including ISO 9001).
Q.Base is very flexible and not contradictory to ISO9000 or TQM and it is also useful for suppliers for larger companies that have ISO9000 certification.
Finally the Q.Base in the following conditions applies:
o in the company to improve its competitiveness status and the product quality management in the most economical way follow introduction to quality management.
o Treaty between company and customers (party A and B), if customers have a requirement, should the company to insure Q.Base in quality management, quality products for the care applied.
o of third-party certification: the quality management system of the company is examined and certified officially by the CA.
