Hi Cove
We have a quality policy which lists out very general "quality" objectives, however in my eyes (and an external auditor) these are measured through satisfaction of separate business targets. As far as the average Joe in the company is concerned the only targets they are aware of are business ones, and thus when asked by an external auditor - what are the company quality objectives and targets? - they cannot provide a decent answer.
I am creating a QMS for our Middle East offices and want to ensure any such ambiguity is eliminated and set additional, lower level (i.e. all staff are aware of them) targets that are specifically relevant to quality. I already have the procedures in place so that these objectives will be measurable but wondered the best way to make these official?
I cannot adjust the company quality policy - so was unsure what could be used to officially communicate these objectives to the staff.
We have monthly meetings where I will report the progress of these targets to both employess and the Board but am unsure how to make them firm and tangible from the outset (I fear a poster on a wall will be ignored).
All ideas welcomed. Especially if they have worked for you in the past.
