Developing yor system
The System Development Grid above is a tool used and continually improved by our clients since 1986.
This approach ensures companies:
- Achieve first time ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and/or other system standard certifications
- Are ready to implement continual improvement processes such as lean six sigma, business process analysis and other quality management tools
- Can communicate with customers regarding how their systems help determine, fulfill and deliver upon customer requirements
With every iteration (well over 1000 companies have used this methodology), we improve the information so others can benefit from lessons learned.
This grid explains the People > Processes > System ™ methodology. Use this with our Action Planning Checklist to plan your project for success.
