18 Our Quality System NOW HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT QUALITY REQUIREMENTS All areas Uniform Sistem Espor Planning Training Performance evaluation Work conditions

19 Our Quality System NOW SERVICE REQUIREMENTS QUALITY REQUIREMENTS All areas Uniform Sistem Espor Planning Contract revision Design Purchasing Service control Measurement devices

20 Our Quality System NOW CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT QUALITY REQUIREMENTS All areas Uniform Sistem Espor Client satisfaction evaluation Internal audit Follow up measurement Data analysis Corrective actions Preventive actions

21 Our Quality System NOW Our principal efforts are focused on implementing the system requirements in all Center s areas

22 Our Quality System: : CURRENT PROJECTS Design and implementation of a confidenciality system Planning the management system implementation in all areas improve QMS by information technologies training employees in the quality requirements Developing the 5S implementation planning

23 Our Quality System: : CURRENT CONCERNS Develop an efficient QMS Improve the implementation of the PDCA process in all the areas Improve the level of employee involvement Get competent resources to develop a good support to all areas Developing a consistent Information Management System

24 Our Quality System: : FUTURE PRIORITIES Get the UNE certification (national standard to manage innovation systems) Get the ISO17020 accreditation to recognise our competence in NDE Get the ISO14001 certification (the EMS is totally implemented, we would have to pass the external audit)
