Your organization deserves to be in the Global Quality League (GQL). That is where world class organizations today belong. You have a part to play in this process. Quality is a chief source of competitive advantage for both manufacturing and service organizations.
Quality rules the world. Global industry, market and brand leaders win on the strength of quality thinking, quality behaviours and quality performance.
There are different approaches, principles, techniques and practices involved in managing this most vital function of business. The International Organization for Standards (ISO) promotes technology, process, product and service standards and co-ordinates national standards (NIS) established by the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON). SON has responsibility for ensuring that locally manufactured products in Nigeria meet the standard required for optimum customer satisfaction through the implementation of government policies, providing guidelines and enforcing compliance. Other regulatory bodies associated with industry specific quality standards include National Agency for Food and Drug Administration & Control (NAFDAC), the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) etc. Professional bodies concerned with quality in Nigeria include the Nigerian Institute of Production Management (NIPM), the Society of Certified Manufacturing Management (SCMM), the Institute of Operations Management Development (IoMD), the Society for Certified Quality Management (SQM) and the College of Production & Operations Management (COPOM) which focuses on education and training.
