This research aims to analyze the moderating effects of profitability and leverage on the relationship between the quality management system and eco-efficiency toward the firm’s performance. The research sample consists of 75 firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange as of 2017. Data concerning eco-efficiency and the quality management system are collected from the firm's annual report. This research utilizes a multiple linear regression model. The result shows that eco-efficiency and quality management system do not affect the firm’s performance. Profitability has a negative and significant moderating effect on the relationship between eco-efficiency toward the firm’s performance. Further, the moderating variable also positively and significantly moderates the relationship between the quality management system and the firm's performance. Leverage, on the other hand, is found to have no moderating effect on the relationship between eco-efficiency and quality management systems toward the firm's performance.  This study contributes and extends previous research by exploring eco-efficiency and quality management systems toward the firm’s performance simultaneously. Besides, it also examines the moderating relation of profitability and leverage in relationship with eco-efficiency and quality management system toward a firm's performance by using the sample from all firms which are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and have implemented the system.

As the competition for products and services continues to grow, with customer satisfaction playing an integral part in this process, organizations are faced with the task of ensuring quality in all of their activities. Since many organizations do not necessarily produce the entire product or deliver the service by themselves, they are dependent on other vital sources, for example, suppliers, that impact quality of the finished product/service. This necessitates development and implementation of a quality management system which can integrate information from the various entities to facilitate decision making in a timely manner. Additionally, it is desirable for such a quality management system to be responsive to the existing quality environment at the various sources that contribute to the manufacture of the product or delivery of the service. This chapter provides a foundation for accomplishing such quality management objectives.

Abstract The ISO 9000 series of standards are among the best-known standards developed by the International Organisation for Standardisation ISO. They provide guidance and guidelines for companies and organisations that want their products and services to satisfy customer requirements and their quality to be continuously improved. However, the need for recertification of the Quality Management System (QMS) based on ISO 9001 is increasingly being discussed by managers. The questions asked are: is it necessary to have such a certificate in order to maintain high product quality and customer satisfaction? What is the balance of benefits and losses for maintaining a certificate of this standard? The authors of the paper will try to answer these questions based on the experience of a medium-sized metal manufacturing company.
