Laboratory quality management system is a concept of utmost importance for industry and other economic sectors. Nowadays, even for university laboratories it is possible to have accredited tests according to standard ISO/IEC 17025. This paper demonstrates a way of evaluating the potential of academic experts to integrate successfully the quality management systems of a chemical analysis laboratory in the teaching process. However, designing an appropriate academic curriculum responding to our current societal needs is still very challenging. In teaching and developing practical competences in analytical quality assurance, training offered to students in aspects related to the validation of an analytical method including performance characteristics such as selectivity and specificity, linear range, sensitivity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, ruggedness, accuracy, precision, etc., are primary steps in the process of a complete understanding of quality management system topics. This contribution presents a compilation of the most important current developments in a university chemical analysis laboratory with good results in developing theoretical and practical skills in analytical quality assurance for students, graduates and postgraduates alike. Teaching students with an interdisciplinary approach allows them to gain knowledge in making connections between disciplines and theories, between practical problems and accumulated knowledge, and between society’s assumptions, expectations, and needs.

Product Service

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.

The Relationship

Quality assurance in public health presents one of the key factors in the quality of health service. Accordingly, there is increasing awareness of the need to integrate quality systems and their principles into the healthcare system. Their role is important in the context of quality assurance in accordance with patient requirements as well as in the process of improving the quality of health care service. They are essential for the successful implementation of a quality management system and refer to customer focus, leadership, engagement of people, process approach, improvement, evidence–based decision making, and relationship management. This paper presents the results of a study among Croatian Institutes of Public Health with regard to the level of implementation of quality principles related to employee engagement, improvement and internal customer focus. Analysis focused on the relationship between focus on internal customer (employees) and improvements as well as the employee engagement and improvement respectively. Results show there is a strong positive relationship between employee engagement and improvements, while between internal customer focus and improvement the relationship has not been verified. In the context of standardization of quality of public health services, the paper aims to expand theoretical knowledge about TQM principles, with the emphasis on the employee engagement, internal customer focus (employees) and process improvement. The results can serve as a basis for improving the existing practice of quality management system implementation in the public health sector, with emphasis on employees.

The construction industry has been criticized for its poor performance and productivity. This study assessed the implementation of the quality management system provided by the quality assurance section of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in Negros Occidental, Philippines. Using a descriptive, comparative, and correlational research design, data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire accomplished by 265 respondents identified through stratified random sampling. Using descriptive and inferential statistics, findings showed a great extent of implementation, and clients and end-users revealed a high level of satisfaction. There was a significant difference in materials testing, quality assurance, and quality control. No significant difference was found in the level of satisfaction and between implementation and satisfaction on the implementation of the quality management system. The major challenge identified by implementers was responsibility. Indeed, the success of a quality management system requires proper monitoring and control.

In recent years, the security and defense sector of Ukraine has been undergoing reforms aimed at gaining the country's membership in the NATO North Atlantic Treaty Organization. One of the many aspects of these reforms is the introduction of some specific standards, in particular, the AQAP 2000 series standards in the quality management systems of military equipment enterprises. In the case of implementation of several international standards at the enterprise, there is a need to create integrated quality management systems. The article presents options for implementing two or more standards in the QMS of the enterprise, analyzes their disadvantages and advantages. The main requirements of the AQAP 2110 standard, which should be integrated with the requirements of the ISO 9001 standard in the context of the PDCA cycle ("Plan-Do-Check-Act"), are considered. The stages of the implementation of integrated QMS are described. The scheme of deliveries of products to the customer in which there is a certification of the quality management system of the manufacturer (supplier) by the external body on conformity assessment, control over the quality of production by military representation, and the government quality assurance GQA has resulted. Government quality assurance GQA means that the authorized national body carries out the process of assessing the conformity of the quality management system of the manufacturer (supplier) to the requirements of ISO 9001 and NATO standards AQAP 2000, which allows the customer to gain confidence in the quality of defense products. A special requirement is to draw up a Quality Plan, which defines the activities, processes, resources, responsibilities of the manufacturer, etc., to convince the customer and the GQA representative that the company can manufacture and supply products of appropriate quality and on time, because in case of defective products or failure to deliver is lost time for a replacement or waiting, and this is a constant risk to the country's combat readiness. Requirements for the content and design of the Quality Plan are given in the standard AQAP 2105. In addition to the above, the following specific requirements of AQAP 2110 are analyzed as the operation of the metrological support system at the enterprise according to DSTU ISO 10012, product configuration management with software according to ACMP 2100, risk management, etc.
