THE CYCLE OF QUALITY, MORE NONSENSE THAT GREAT!
The system approach to management is one of the principles of quality, so mistreated and little practiced presentation food as others. It is a requirement for those who aspire to leadership. And perhaps, presentation food much less survive only!
System is a "set of interrelated elements or interacting" if we follow the definition given in ISO 9000. However, the management, according to the same international standard exists to "lead a coordinated set of activities and control an organization." presentation food The management system is colored by the influence of several systems (forgive the insistence) that complement each other. For example: the system of quality management, environmental management, maintenance management, management of safety and health at work, financial management ... Which means, as applicable, are systems to manage presentation food and control the organization in relation to quality, environment, safety and well for all fundamental aspects, but looking for a common goal: to build the capacity of the organization to be responsible presentation food and sustainable.
The basic feature of the systems is that they need each other interact and so forced as required, by definition, the concept of management. Accepted universal principles presentation food of good governance are intertwined and equally confused. The natural tendency is to integrate, but many minds insist on seeing things separate (maintenance is maintenance, quality is quality ...). This is one of the reasons leading to poor results in the overall management. He insists overlooked in abundant measure, the principle of system approach. The truth is that many companies are still developing schemes as divergent lines. It is difficult, undoubtedly achieve advanced levels of implementation of one of the systems mentioned, if there are common and necessary elements implemented presentation food in other areas of the organization and able to be extended and included. Imagine what would you deploy presentation food two or three systems presentation food at once, when we know that one is tricky! We must remember, however, the Chinese proverb: a journey of three thousand miles begins with a single step.
The task becomes very dark when you want to integrate and have broad word, but does not change the behavior. It is known (and no, I suspect) than unmodified performance, understand management style, ways of doing, training ... not change the performance to results that could be called sustained progress (think of the principle of continuous improvement) .
The idea of embedded systems is to manage the set of processes that the organization lives uniquely but taking into account the specific requirements for quality, environment, safety and health, etc.., Instead of managing each function with different criteria and independent artificially restricting or canceling tuning areas.
The ones who see things presentation food separate practice what can be described in three words: presentation food Manage Without Consistency (GSC, does not sound bad, right?). Maintenance, for example, presentation food is sometimes conceived in desire reivindicador by passionate advocates, as the center of the business and this of course also wrong (no doubt this is an underrated system, which must have inspired the Patico authors ugly and Cinderella). What is maintenance when principles are violated? What is when there is the platform created by other systems? And what would the organization presentation food without maintenance? I guess you think it has had direct experience presentation food sure that perfectly the questions. This is linked to the concept of organizational culture rescued (or ignorance, which also fits very well). In the system approach must discern the part of all, but never separate or part of the whole, much less take the part for the whole.
In the author's quality system (either ISO 9000 or any other reference approach presentation food to a structured quality) lays the foundation for any desirable outcome not only requires integration, but demands or otherwise , accomplishes nothing or almost nothing, which in this case is the same! This concept is the quality presentation food giant applicable to other systems. But what is the quality to dry? "Compliance with the requirements", "fitness for use", "respect presentation food for humanity", or, according to ISO 9000, "the degree to which a set of features (the process, activity, product) presentation food meets the requirement
