Abstract The article presents the problem of improvement in public administration offices in one of the most important current principles of quality management - customer orientation in the context of the functioning of these units in quality management systems compliant with the requirements of BS EN ISO 9001:2009. The results of the author’s research in the use of this orientation in selected government offices are presented. The article explores the deficiencies that occur in the offices surveyed in this respect and presents examples of possible methods and tools for the study of the needs, requirements and expectations of customers and techniques for the measurement of their satisfaction that may be used in public administration

This paper examines the problem of measuring the maturity of quality management systems. The main scope of the study is to measure the level of maturity of quality management systems in organizations with an implemented quality management system compliant with the requirements of ISO 9001 in Poland; however, this paper also investigates which factors influence the level of maturity. An analysis of the maturity level of the quality management system in the surveyed organizations showed that the highest level of maturity occurs in those areas and activities that directly result from the requirements of the ISO 9001 standard and direct market pressure, and this level of maturity must be implemented. This can be included in case areas such as customer orientation, process approach, or evidence-based decision-making. However, a lower level of maturity is observed in the case of “soft” aspects of quality management related to leadership and human resource management. The problems are also related to the implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR). In this respect, the surveyed organizations show numerous shortcomings which lead to low assessments of their level of maturity, for example, in ensuring openness and ethical behavior in contact with the public. The following hypothesis was formulated for the research objective: H1—control variables, such as the size of the organization (H1a), time of existence of the enterprise (H1b), business profile (H1c), market position (H1d), financial condition (H1e), and ratio of management to the normalization processes (H1f), affect the level of maturity of an enterprise’s quality management system.

In the context of digitalization, the functioning of the QMS necessitates the development and application of qualitatively new management technologies, as well as fundamentally new production technologies. Science is faced with the question of studying the main ways of developing the QMS, determining its place and role in modern conditions and realities, including the use of digital technologies. The article defines the sections of the QMS (GOST R ISO 9001-2015), in which digital technologies can and should be implemented: clause 8.3 Design and development of products and services, clause 8.4. Production of products and provision of services, p. 7.1.5 Resources for monitoring and measurement, p. 9.3. Management analysis.

ISO 9001 (2000 and 2008), Quality management systems – Requirements are globally most used standards. The total number of issued certificates tends to increase year by year, according to the annual surveys of International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The situation in Latvia is similar – the total number of the standard user organizations grows every year only in much smaller amounts. However, the information on issued certificates is insufficient for realizing an in-depth analysis of standard user organizations. This study is important for providing detailed information on enterprises according to their size class and for information on the proportion of certified enterprises to overall number of enterprises to observe the most active scale group of business for ISO 9001 certification. The expected outcome of the research – the number of certified enterprises and their distribution by size class (micro, small, medium- sized and large scale enterprises) in Latvia.
