Standardization Organization

Existing literature states that standardization and certification are not only crucial for enterprises, but they have a positive impact on productivity, international trade, innovation, and competition as well. This research employs data derived by the European Innovation Union Scoreboard and the International Standardization Organization from 2005 to 2014 to investigate the relation between innovation and certified quality management systems according to ISO 9001. Using suitable panel data analysis, the authors analyse the data gathered form a panel accounting for the different countries and different years. The main result of this study is that we are able to provide evidence to policymakers, academics, and entrepreneurs that there is a statistically significant relationship between innovation and certified quality management systems. The originality of this chapter stems from the fact that up to now, to the authors' knowledge, the impact of ISO 9001 on innovation has not been examined in the European context.

A Company

Research background: ISO 9001 with its requirements gives a company a guidance on the definition of the quality management system architecture, based on the process approach and the indications for its continuous improvement. Despite the general emphasis to the benefits of implementation of ISO 9001 in the literature, there is a still lack of research concerning the actual impact of quality management systems for improving specific logistics processes. The research is focused on the Polish market because there is no research in the subject literature which concerns the impact of the implementation of quality management systems on the improvement of logistic processes in Polish enterprises. Purpose of the article: The focus of this publication was to examine the impact of the implementation of the requirements of ISO 9001 for process improvement supply logistics. Methods: Empirical studies were carried out in September and October 2014 on a group of 17 companies with implemented and certified quality management systems according to ISO 9001. The research tool was a questionnaire survey sent to management representatives (25 respondents) and workers (140 respondents). The surveys were supplemented with direct interviews with employees of the companies. Findings: Based on the survey it can be stated that the quality management systems, accord-ing to ISO 9001, had a fairly large impact on improving procurement processes. This is particularly evident in areas including relationships with suppliers, quality control, workflow and communication, both internal and external. The positive aspects achieved through the implementation of quality management systems due to the fact that the ISO 9001 standard in its commitments puts great emphasis on the organization of the procurement process.

The Impact

Purpose Implementation of quality management systems in educational institutions has gradually increased over the last few decades, even though there are still questions about the actual usefulness of these systems for improving school processes and outcomes. This study takes an in-depth look at the impact, understood as sustainable medium and long-term changes in the organisation, which implementation of quality management systems has on schools. Specifically, it analyses the effect these systems have on an essential dimension for school efficiency, which is school climate, as well as on satisfaction of the members of the education community. Design/methodology/approach To achieve this, we conducted an evaluation of the impact of quality management systems on a total of 29 Spanish primary and secondary education schools. This study is part of non-experimental research, since it is not possible to manipulate variables or randomly assign participants or treatment (Kerlinger 2002). This is an “ex post facto” study since the independent variables cannot be manipulated, but rather we wait for developments to occur naturally and then they are analysed. The idea is to validate the hypothesis once the event occurs, trying to find its causes “retrospectively”. Findings The results showed that quality management systems have a positive impact on aspects such as development of coexistence rules in schools, teacher participation in initiatives to improve schools and a positive climate in schools. Research limitations/implications On the other hand, there is no evidence of the impact of these systems on conflict resolution procedures or family participation in school life. The impact of quality management systems on the satisfaction of the members of the school community is also moderate. Originality/value The results obtained also show that the impact tends to be greater in private subsidised centres, in small schools, in centres where the system has been implemented for more years and when there is more support and monitoring by the educational authorities.

The Impact

As economic growth is very important for the development of individuals and the society, the importance of capital stocks and labor force for the economic growth of countries cannot be neglected. Additionally, the human capital component and especially the role of competitiveness increases on the growth process have been extensively discussed over the last two decades. This paper examines the impact of competitiveness increases on economic growth of selected middle-income countries including Turkey for the period of 1997-2012 using a balanced panel data analysis, which was relatively less studied in the literature. According to analysis results, an increase on the competitiveness index of countries in the panel, which were obtained from the data set of the International Institute for Management Development (IMD), positively increases per capita income level. This result may be interpreted as several factors that increase competitiveness including infrastructure, economic structure, business world and regulations and investments that ensure public efficiency may have a positive impact on economic growth. Therefore, this study suggests that future policies that concentrate on extensive growth instead of intensive dimension may contribute to efficient and sustainable growth.

The Impact

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of ISO9001 through achieving its intended objectives and determine its impact on the performance dimensions of oil and gas drilling companies which are related to operations and HSE. 375 samples were obtained using a structured questionnaire from oil and gas drilling companies operating in OMAN to conduct an empirical study. A structured equation modeling (SEM) through SMART PLS was applied in order to determine the impact of ISO 9001 effectiveness on the performance dimensions of oil and gas drilling companies. The findings of this study reveal as identified in the literature, the dimensions of the ISO 9001 effectiveness which are evaluated by the degree of achievement of the standard&rsquo;s objectives, namely (continuous improvement, customer focus, prevention of nonconformities, risk-based thinking, leadership &amp; commitment and Competency framework) and reveals its significant contribution to the performance of the oil and gas drilling companies. The operational and HSE performance of the oil and gas drilling companies are directly and significantly influenced by ISO 9001 effectiveness. The findings of this study revealed that the R2 value for the first order constructs which are the six ISO objectives are all above the 0.7, implying that the six constructs significantly explain the second order construct ISO 9001 QMS effectiveness. The R2 for QMS effectiveness is 0.460 which means that, 46% of the variation in performance can be explained by effective quality management systems. The effect size f2 was calculated to assess the effect each latent construct has on Quality Management Systems. It has been revealed in this study that PNC has the highest effect on QMS followed by CI, RBT, L&amp;C, CF and CFW respectively.&nbsp; From the Q square statistic, it is inferred that QMS 9001 effectiveness has a high (strong) effect of 39% on performance. Finally, the Model fit was assessed based on the SRMR criteria by which it revealed a good fit of the model which was 0.052. These findings will support practitioners and decision makers to focus on quality related problems that might occur in their current or future projects to enhance their organization performance.

This research explores the impact of the firm’s internal and external attributes on its degree of implementation of quality management according to the ISO 9000 standard. This econometric study, based on the data gathered from a sample of Tunisian companies certified or in the course of certification in ISO 9001: 2000, reveals that the application of quality management depends on the organizational and environmental context of the company: a motivation rather internal than external to be certified, the application of ISO 9004 standard  recommendations, the adhesion of the company to the leveling program, size, investment in new technologies of information and communication and in technologies of analysis and measurement and the importance of innovation and quality criterion for customers.
