Dear Narander,
Thank you for this great post.
At Statistics Netherlands we concluded that ISO 9001 was not the appropriate standard for our business (producing statistics), although we acknowlegde the great value of this standard.
Therefore, we developed an even more generic quality management model called OQRM. This model can be used in any organistion, at any level, at any scale and any field of expertise. Also quality management and risk management are integrated. One of the starting principles of the model is, that the quality of the product is dependent on the quality of many other components of the organisation like the process, the people, the IT, etc.
More information can be found at www.oqrm.org/English.
I am curious what your opinion is about this model.
Regards,
Peter
