Guys, and Gals of course, I need your brain power, as it's Monday morning and I'm drawing blanks. My boss asked me what all programs and/or standards are out there, and what might be helpful here. So I thought I'd try to come up with a list and define them for him. I'll start

Does anyone have others to add for me? thanks in advance!
The list you provided is only scratching the surface. There are over 40,000 ASTM Standards, Procedures and the like. There are about 30,000 ISO standards and specifications. Other common documents from organizations in the U.S. include SAE AS, AMS, ASME BPVC, and on and on. There are over 900 organizations worldwide that issue standards and specifications. There are over 300,000 standards and specifications that are widely available. This does not include many more industry specific standards.

One company where I previously worked had over 35,000 different standards in our company library.

Wesley, yes, you are right, but I am not looking for a list of ASTM standards for tensile testing, etc, just the various (infamous) group of programs that are geared towards quality management system/business system improvement, on the line of the ones I listed in the first post.

Thanks guys, some of the postings just kinda made me go, DUH! I should have put that on my list to start with.:eek: (MBQA, that was what started the whole thing here) Doh...nuts! um, donuts, what a great idea! thanks.

In addition to Baldridge there are:
  • European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM)
  • NQI Canadian Framework for Business Excellence
  • The Aussies have a national excellence model too
Perhaps also Tom Peters with ISOE, Goldratt with the Goal.

Any bookstore has a thousand business books with the next big thing.

I'm curious, where are you going with this?

I think (as do a lot of others here) that anything called Quality systems needs to be replaced by business systems thinking. Until this effort is led by the people who can cause change to happen, not much improvement is possible.

But we're ready when they are! We've been patiently tilling the ground, and planting seeds so they can take the credit when the sun shines on our garden and a beautiful crop springs up.

Information overload....I want to show my boss that there are a multitude of programs out there, we could "do" programs for the rest of eternity, but what we really need to do is just stay committed to our mission statement, quality policy, safety philosophy and environmental policy, pick our tools, and continue to improve. While awards and recognition are nice, we need to make sure we are doing what we said we'd do first.

There were about 70 companies or organizations that had approved our quality system. We used one quality manual to cover all of the various requirements. The larger cost was not actually the approvals/registration/accreditations but rather the cost of the test standards and documents that we had to keep current.

Some of the organizations, such as the City of Los Angeles, the only cost to us was the travel and per diem for their auditor to audit our system. We had the NADCAP accreditation, but were still audited by six or seven major aircraft and engine manufacturers, although they did not charge us for their audits. We were required to participate in round robin testing, so there was an internal cost for performing these tests. The nuclear power companies, DOT, Coast Guard and CSA did not charge us for their audits.

We were also audited by two separate departments of the State regulatory agency for X-ray equipment and nuclear source testing equipment. Although the quality system was part of the audits, the main focus was on radiation monitoring, training, and control of access to the equipment.

You are right on. Do what makes sense to you. Steal the ideas that make sense from other systesm, but at the end of the day, do it your way.

Here is my attempt to summarize everything:

Say what you do
Do what you say
Be able to prove it
React if there is a problem
Get better as time goes by
