Implantação da ISO 9001:2008: estudo de caso em empresado setor de construção civil

In Brazil , the construction industry is on an upward trend, mainly by the housing shortage , and yet there are few builders that take a Quality Management System ( QMS ) to improve the quality of its services and processes . The ISO 9001 standards are guidelines for an effective QMS and this certificate is recognized worldwide as a seal of quality standard. This paper will describe and analyze the implementation of a QMS in a small construction company of Guaratinguetá - SP, identifying best practices and major difficulties , besides proposing preparatory recommendations for other companies that seek the ISO 9000 certification. Access to company’s data made the nonconformities and the customer satisfaction research analysis possible, and a questionnaire and unstructured interviews allowed a deeper understanding of the situation. Despite this ISO 9000 QMS not being fully implemented, the company has already conquered some improvements in document control, project planning, process traceability and established focus on customer

Green Manufacturing: Relationship between Adoption of Green Operational Practices and Green Performance of Brazilian ISO 9001-Certified Firms

The present work aims at analyzing how the adoption of a proactive environmental management via green operational practices (GOPs) correlates to the Green Performance (GrP) of a given set of ISO 9001-certified firms in Brazil. To this end, we elaborated a conceptual framework about environmental management, GOPs, and GrP Such theoretical foundation supported the development of empirical research through quantitative analysis. For the analysis, 75 questionnaires were collected from ISO 9001 certified companies. Data was analyzed by with statistical tools such as descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results demonstrate that the adoption of GOPs, in fact, exerts a positive impact on the GrP of the firms. This work contributes to a better understanding of green manufacturing in Brazil's industrial sector

Planejamento para a implantação da ISO 9001 em uma empresa do setor industrial

The fierce competitiveness of the current market and the sophistication of customer requirements made the commitment to quality a need within organizations. The search for quality has been carried out by the adoption of quality management systems, a formal organization that should be present throughout the organization, from the initial identification of market needs to the satisfaction of customer requirements. The methodology most commonly used for this purpose is based on the requirements of ISO 9001, latest version of 2008. Considering this scenario, was developed a case study in a small company of the industrial sector with the development of a plan for the implementation of ISO 9001. The proposed methodology involved the construction of a theoretical framework on the subject and the development of a case study with a qualitative approach. Initially, was applied a questionnaire to the representative of the organization about the company's operating procedures, activity logs held, current documentation, planning and resource management for the construction of an assessment about the adequacy of the company needs to ISO 9001. Were obtained as results the characterization of production processes and organizational structure of the company and examples of policy and objectives of quality, performance indicators, document control, system for visualization of non-compliances, among others. Finally, the benefits of adopting a quality management system based on ISO 9001 requirements for the company and its environmental issues such as increased process efficiency, less waste and greater profitability, were pointed out, and the conditions for effective certification in the future

Green and competitive: empirical evidence from ISO 9001 certified Brazilian companies

There are many arguments in the literature on environmental management stating that companies that have a significant environmental performance tend to be more competitive, because environmental management tends to generate positive effects on their operational performance. Despite the fact that such arguments are widely accepted, there is little empirical evidence yet of such a relationship in manufacturing contexts that are rarely studied thus far, such as those of developing countries. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – With the objective of testing the positive relationship between environmental performance and operational performance, this research presents the data of a survey conducted with 75 ISO 9001-certified Brazilian companies. Such data were analyzed by means of structural equation modeling. Findings – The paper discovered that, indeed, environmental management relates in a positive, significant manner and large effect to the operational performance of companies.

Benefits of the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards: a literature review

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to determine the similarities and differences between the benefits derived from implementing the ISO 9001 and the ISO 14001 standards. Methodology/Approach: The paper reviews the literature using an electronic search in the ScienceDirect, ABI/Inform, Emerald databases to identify papers focusing on the adoption of the ISO 9001 and 14001 standards and the benefits derived from implementing them. Findings: The paper identifies 82 articles about ISO 9001 and 29 about ISO 14001. Although some differences can be observed between the benefits considered by ISO 9001 and 14001, there is a great degree of coincidence in the benefits studied. The review suggests 13 benefits as the most usually analyzed (including environmental performance for the case of the ISO 14001 standard) by scholars. It is suggested that both standards have clear benefits on operational, people and customer results and that the effects on financial performance are inconclusive. Limitations/implications: One limitation of this paper is that the works identified are conditioned by the search strategy used. In addition, other key words could be included in future studies such as operational, market, quality, financial performance, and customer satisfaction in order to expand this search. Originality/Value: The main contribution is that the paper identifies the literature gap and future research proposals with regard to the benefits of the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards.

Estratégias na Implementação da norma ISO 9001 em IPSS (Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade Social)

A qualidade está na base do sucesso no mundo empresarial, sendo um fator de competitividade e de diferenciação entre organizações. No contexto das Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade Social, a aposta na qualidade é também uma realidade. No entanto, estas instituições enfrentam diversas dificuldades no processo de implementação do sistema de gestão da qualidade (SGQ) ISO 9001. De entre estas, destaca-se o difícil acesso à metodologia, crenças impostas, culturas resistentes à mudança, desconhecimentos e receios, que resultam em custos avultados para as organizações, dado o recurso frequente a empresas de consultoria. Como tal, o presente trabalho de investigação pretende salientar as principais dificuldades no processo de implementação da norma ISO9001:2008 em IPSS e dar o seu contributo para a clarificação da polémica que envolve a certificação desta norma, mediante a criação de um kit, com todas as ferramentas necessárias à implementação da norma. Por conseguinte, e para dar resposta ao objetivo proposto, procedeu-se numa primeira instância à realização de inquéritos a 29 organizações certificadas pelas normas ISO 9001:2008 e/ou EQUASS (European Quality in Social Services), de forma a apreender as principais dificuldades no processo de implementação da norma nas várias IPSS. Esta análise permitiu concluir que, os principais fatores que dificultaram a implementação do sistema de gestão da qualidade, segundo a norma ISO 9001:2008, são essencialmente a falta de tempo e/ou disponibilidade, assim como a dificuldade de interpretação da norma. Como tal, as organizações necessitam de ferramentas de auxílio que as apoiem e esclareçam no processo de implementação do sistema da qualidade. Neste sentido, elaborou-se o kit de implementação “Qualifica”. Este é constituído por um manual e um CD interativo com documentos, formações e ferramentas para a implementação do sistema, cujo objetivo é esclarecer, encaminhar, orientar e simplificar todo o processo de implementação da norma e utilizando uma linguagem simples e acessível. Para finalizar, a viabilidade do KIT “Qualifica” foi devidamente validada através da sua aplicação numa IPSS não certificada. Após a revisão do sistema implementado na IPSS em estudo, conclui-se que o KIT "Qualifica" ofereceu todas as bases e todos os recursos necessários para o bom entendimento, encaminhamento e implementação da norma, provando a sua potencialidade como ferramenta auxiliar fundamental que qualquer organização poderá no futuro utilizar.

Management technologies - are they worth it? A normative study of ISO 9001 and project management

This research inquires into the value of two common ‘management technologies’, namely ISO 9001 and project management. To avoid certain methodological problems, we study the value of these micro-level practices by inductively analysing macro-level data, specifically the intensity of project management and ISO 9001 certification (termed project management score and ISO 9001 score) in different countries against national measures of wealth and innovation. There is no correlation between ISO 9001 score and innovation, while high ISO 9001 scores are correlated with decreasing levels of wealth. The project management score is positively correlated with wealth and with innovation, though very high project management scores are negatively correlated with innovation. The study includes a cluster analysis which finds that, with one exception, countries tend to adopt either project management or ISO 9001 but not both. The analysis indicates that project management is more likely to be associated with high innovation and high wealth than ISO 9001.
