Many certified ISO 9001 companies are adopting continuous improvement systems based on Lean and Six Sigma principles. Objective: this paper aims to illustrate how Lean and Six Sigma principles, methodologies and tools can be adopted within a quality management system based on the ISO 9001:2015 standard. Results: a new Lean Six Sigma and ISO 9001:2015 integration model is proposed with the explanation of how a wide set of Lean and Six Sigma tools and methods can be applied in different clauses of requirements of the standard. Conclusion: the proposed model contributes to increase the ability to combine a quality management system based on ISO 9001:2015 with a Lean Six Sigma improvement program into a single and integrated management system, thus improving overall efficiency.

Abstract The quality management systems compliant with the ISO 9001:2009 have been thoroughly researched and described in detail in the world literature. The accredited management systems used in the testing laboratories and compliant with the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 have been mainly described in terms of the system design and implementation. They have also been investigated from the analytical point of view. Unfortunately, a low number of studies concerned the management system functioning in the accredited testing laboratories. The aim of following study was to assess the management system functioning in the accredited testing laboratories in Poland. On 8 October 2015, 1,213 accredited testing laboratories were present in Poland. They investigated various scientific areas and substances/objects. There are more and more such laboratories that have various problems and different long-term experience when it comes to the implementation, maintenance and improvement of the management systems. The article describes the results of the conducted expert assessment (survey) carried out to examine the conditions for the functioning of a management system in an accredited laboratory. It also focuses on the characteristics of the accredited research laboratories in Poland. The authors discuss the selection of the external and internal conditions that may affect the accredited management system. They show how the experts assessing the selected conditions were chosen. The survey results are also presented.

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.

Broad Consensus

AbstractThere is a broad consensus on the importance and advisability of testing laboratories adopting a Quality Management System (QMS) to support their work, no matter they are industrial or research oriented. However, laboratories involved in R&D have specific difficulties to implement a QMS due to the peculiar nature of their activity. This paper analyzes the main challenges and difficulties found by professionals when implementing a QMS in a research testing laboratory, based on the literature review and a questionnaire with 86 laboratories participating performed in collaboration with RedLab (Red de Laboratorios de la Comunidad de Madrid). After this analysis, a set of requirements for the competence of research testing laboratories based on ISO/IEC 17025 and UNE 166002 is defined, and an agile methodology for the fulfilment of these requirements is proposed.
