The article analyzes modern trends in the development of forensic activities. The author notes that under conditions of constant growth of the number of expert tasks and increase their complexity, we developed the objective prerequisites for the introduction in the forensic activities of the quality management system. Special attention is paid to analysis of the most modern concepts of quality management are “six sigma”, revealed its content, the author briefly describes the history and implementation of management practices foreign forensic laboratories. The possibilities of this approach to ensure comparability of results of monitoring various indicators of quality. The author notes that this method of management of the organization is an important mechanism in ensuring economical production, which is important for forensic organizations in the current economic conditions. The strengths and weaknesses of the application of this concept in forensic science, and proposes options for its integration with traditional methods of quality management.

Abstract The Joint Inspection Group (JIG) standard for aviation fuel quality management assists in the operational process and maintenance of aviation fuel from its point of origin and through distribution systems to airports. Currently, problems arise as the JIG standard and quality management in aviation fuel are isolated and have independent procedures. Merging the JIG standards with ISO 9001:2015 can override original JIG’s philosophy by connecting all quality assessment, and management parties involved, throughout the supply chain. This integration can harmonize auditing tasks, focusing on risk/opportunity, and continue quality improvement focus. This paper proposes a development of quality management system (QMS) under ISO 9001:2015 for aviation fuelling service in a systematic way. The content and critical success factors of ISO 9001:2015 and JIG standards were studied. The beneficial synergies, similarities, and logical linkages between both standards are identified. This QMS was developed in the largest petroleum company in Thailand and 60 selected experts were surveyed, with a response rate of 88.3%, for their agreement on integrated criteria. Two external quality auditors, who have ISO 9001 and JIG expertise, were interviewed to modify our initial proposed QMS. The final QMS was implemented in the into-plane fuelling services as the first phase of this implementation. Results of framework implementation are discussed in a case study. There are mutual benefits resulting from the integration of JIG and ISO 9001:2015 standards. This QMS provides a unified process for quality management practices, and enhances the effectiveness of risk evaluation as well as the opportunity for continued quality improvement. It facilitates the identification of ISO 9001:2015 requirements and establishes relationships between the roles of JIG standard and the clauses of ISO 9001:2015. The first experience from five airports as the pilot study of proposed QMS implementation minimized conflicts and duplications between JIG and ISO 9001:2015 standards, reduced the number of into-plane fuelling service incidents reported, such as oil spill, machine stoppage, re-inspections, and recall costs.

Aiming at the features of the common Supply Chain quality management, an intelligent Supply Chain quality management system based on Six Sigma theory was proposed. The Six Sigma workflow, organizational framework and system goal were adopted in the system overall design, and some traditional Six Sigma tools were integrated into the system. A sub-system for expansive intelligent Six Sigma expert model was designed, which solved the problem of knowledge acquisition in the general expert system and endowed the system with the characteristic of local intelligence.

Abstract The article aims to assess the improvement of the process capability by implementing the Six Sigma methodology in furniture enterprises with different levels of the quality management system (QMS) and ownership. The implementation of the Six Sigma methodology according to the DMAIC steps, also analysis, evaluation, and comparison of the implementation results were performed to improve the process performance. The implementation of the Six Sigma methodology was carried out in an international enterprise with foreign capital and a certified Quality Management System (QMS) and in a domestic enterprise with purely domestic capital without an established Quality Management System. The implementation results confirmed the positive development in the key indicators of critical processes, namely, in the reduction of DPMO, the increase of efficiency and the level of Sigma Process, and the values of process capability indices. The positive effects were more pronounced in the international enterprise compared to the domestic. The application of the Six Sigma methodology brings better results in manufacturing companies with international management skills and implemented certified QMS. These two aspects can be key success factors by managing and improving process capability. The practical contribution of the paper can be seen in the proposal of suitable methods and tools by implementing Six Sigma conception in furniture manufacturing regardless of the ownership or level of quality management systems.

Urgency of the research. With the development of information technology and new management practices, there has been a convergence and often a merger of quality management and information technology practices. At present, concepts based on the integration of quality management systems and automated information systems are becoming increasingly important.Actual scientific researches and issues analysis.In the process of researching specialized scientific and technical litera-ture, modern trends and problems of introduction of information technologies in the quality management system were analyzed.Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. An unsolved problem is to ensure the quality of use of automated infor-mation systems at a pharmaceutical enterprise integrated into an enterprise quality management system based on the requirements of the international GMP standard and the Guidelines ST-N MOH 42-4.0: 2016 “Medicines. Good manufacturing practice".The research objective. The purpose is to systematically analyze the methodological foundations of quality assurance, through the introduction and use of AIS, aimed at creating favorable conditions for improving the efficiency of the quality management system in the pharmaceutical industry.The statement of basic materials. The issues of construction and improvement of quality management system based on existing technologies for automated production are considered. The structure of the computer quality management system and the mechanisms of its information support are determined. The methods of integration of specialized software systems are alsoanalyzed and the concept of integration of them into the quality management system is proposed.Conclusions.Based on the critical analysis, a number of unresolved problems related to the development, implementation and use of automated information systems based on international standards were separated, as well as the scientific hypothesis of the effective implementation and use of automated information systems integrated into the quality management system of the pharmaceutical enterprise was put forward.
