This paper presents a statistical analysis of the performance of organizations and countries in the development, implementation and certification of the international standard SA 8000 on social accountability in their operations. Data obtained from the international organization SAAS (Social Accountability Accreditation Services) were analyzed using bar charts, percentages and Pareto (ABC) analysis. The results showed that the highest number of organizations having certified management system in conformity with the requirements of SA 8000, and also the highest number of personnel in certified organizations were concentrated in Asia, and that the most widespread branches of industry in regard to the certification of their management systems in conformity with the requirements of this standard are such branches as construction, apparel, and textiles industries.

Maintenance service is the necessary organizational structure in the modern manufacturing company. Everyday maintenance services operation would be greatly impeded without a computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS) software. CMMS allows to manage company’s equipment, planning inspections and maintenance and management supervision procedures and service documentation. The aim of this study is to present the analysis of the manufacturing company in the maintenance department, the main objectives of the company related to the maintenance, a pre-implementation analysis (objectives, assumptions, hard results, ABC analysis), and proposals to choose computerised maintenance management systems, which will allow to reduce failures, downtime and maintenance costs.

The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and intensity of gastrointestinal parasites in horses from various management systems. The study included 296 horses of different breeds and ages (from 6 months to 20 years), of both sexes, coming from various management systems: Group 1 – horses using natural pastures, Group 2 – horses pastured on field pastures created by man, Group 3 – horses using sand areas. Faeces samples were collected directly from the rectum 1–2 days before worming. Each sample was examined macro- and microscopically (McMaster method). The number of oocysts/eggs per gram of faeces (OPG/EPG) and parasite abundance (average representation of parasites in relation to all animals). The results were subjected to statistical analysis using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Total prevalence of parasites in all groups was 66.89%: E. leucarti 0.68%; Anoplocephalidae 4.73%, P.equorum 9.46% and Strongylidae 64.19%. Total prevalence per group was the following: 1 – 57.43%; 2– 26.69%; 3 – 6.38 %. In all management systems, the dominating parasites belonged to Cyathostominae (Group 1–77.65%, Group 2 – 70.89%, Group 3 – 4.25%). The prevalences of P. equorum, Anoplocephalidae, E. leucarti in each group were as follows: Group 1 – 10.59; 3.53; 0.59%; Group 2 – 11.39; 10.13; 1.27%; Group 3 – 2.13; 0; 0%.The average intensities of Strongylildae, P. equorum, Anaplocephalidae and E. leucarti in groups were as follows: Group 1 – 606.44; 519.44; 50; 50; Group 2 – 472.32; 261.11; 62.5; 50; Group 3 – 1150; 450; 0; 0. On the other hand, the average abundances in each group were the following: Group 1 – 473.67; 55; 1.76; 0.29; Group 2 – 334.81; 29.75; 6.33; 0.63; Group 3 – 48.94; 9.57; 0; 0. The statistical analysis did not reveal statistically significant differences between the management system and invasion intensity. However, the analysis, taking into consideration a correlation between the management system and abundance, revealed statistically significant differences. The differences were observed between Groups 1 and 3 (pi = 0.0000001) and between Groups 2 and 3 (pi = 0.0000001).

Introduction. Integration of Ukraine into the European Economic Area, membership in the World Trade Organization put forward strict requirements on the quality of goods (services, jobs) to the activities of domestic enterprises, in particular in the field of engineering. The formation of quality management systems (QMS) at engineering services enterprises in the context of the requirements of the international standard ISO 9001: 2015 can become an effective mechanism for ensuring their competitiveness as a decisive factor for commercial success. Along with the obvious advantages of designing and implementing quality management systems according to the requirements of the international standard ISO 9001: 2015 at enterprises, today there are a lot of problems, in particular in the field of engineering, to resolve which companies require methodological developments, practical tools and quality specialists. Aim and tasks. The aim of the study is to develop a conceptual model for the formation of the quality management system of an engineering enterprise according to the requirements of international standard ISO 9001: 2015 as a tool to improve its performance and ensure integration with the overall management of the company. Research results. The article substantiates the relevance of the formation of quality management systems at the enterprises of engineering services in the context of the requirements of international standard ISO 9001: 2015 and proves that they are an effective mechanism for ensuring their competitiveness as a decisive factor of commercial success. The existing models of quality management as a basis for the development of quality management systems in the leading countries of the world been analyzed. The model of processes of quality management system of the engineering enterprise according to requirements of standard ISO 9001: 2015 has been investigated and the essence of all its components has been revealed. The conceptual model of quality management system formation of an engineering enterprise in the context of the requirements of international standard ISO 9001: 2015 has been developed. Conclusions. The developed conceptual model of quality management system formation of the engineering enterprise is an effective methodological tool of quality management that will allow providing its integration into the general management of the company. Further developments are aimed at expert assessment of quality management system processes of engineering services companies in the context of the requirements of international standard ISO 9001: 2015.

Developing countries face various challenges in implementing bio-risk management systems in the laboratory. In addition, educational settings are considered as workplaces with biohazard risks. Every activity in a laboratory facility carries many potential hazards that can impact human health and the environment and may cause laboratory incidents, including Laboratory Acquired Infections (LAIs). In an effort to minimize the impact and occurrence of these incidents, it is necessary to evaluate the implementation of a bio-risk management system in every activity that involves handling biological agents. This study was conducted in an Indonesian higher-education institution, herein coded as University Y. This is a descriptive, semi-quantitative study aimed at analysing and evaluating the implementation of the bio-risk management systems used in laboratories by analysing the achievements obtained by each laboratory. The study used primary data that were collected using a checklist which referred to ISO 35001: 2019 on Laboratory Bio-risk Management. The checklist consisted of 202 items forming seven main elements. In addition, secondary data obtained from literature and document review were also used. The results show that out of 11 laboratories examined, only 2 laboratories met 50% of the requirements, which were Laboratory A and B, achieving good performance. Regarding the clauses of standards, a gap analysis identified leadership, performance evaluation, and support as elements with the lowest achievement. Therefore, corrective action should be developed by enhancing the commitment from management as well as improving documentation, policy, education and training.
