Establishing a Quality Assurance team is still viewed as a non-value added overhead rather than a long-term investment with a direct impact on the bottom line. Teams must be structured to fulfill goals. What the structure looks like might have a big impact on your results as a company and as a department. While there is never a “one size fits all” approach to excellent team structures, there are some best practices that can be seen to work well in the organization, they tend to coincide with the size and stage of growth of the company.Employee Pooling Resources pvt ltd Praveen Mishra Anshul Pawar Gaurav Kumar Sourabh maheshwari Rishabh Mandal Raghu B.

Quality in the organisation is a collaborative responsibility that involves various stakeholders at different levels and across different functions. It is not only the responsibility of the Quality assurance team. When all stakeholders understand it and work accordingly organisations will achieve long term success. #quality #clinicalresearch #quality assurance

🔔 #Quality Management roles are critical in ensuring that products and services meet the highest #standards. However, many professionals in these positions feel the strain, with 3 out of 5 considering leaving their roles. The reasons for this dissatisfaction are not about the job itself but rather the challenges and barriers that come with it. 😥 Key pain points include unclear quality standards, bureaucratic hurdles, and a lack of support from management. These issues create an environment where Quality Management professionals struggle to perform their duties effectively, leading to frustration. Over-emphasis on documentation, inconsistent feedback, and a poor culture of quality further exacerbate the situation, making it difficult for teams to achieve their #goals. Moreover, the high workload, unrealistic deadlines, and stressful audit processes place immense pressure on these professionals. Without adequate #training, development opportunities, and recognition, Quality Management teams feel undervalued and overworked. The dilemma between maintaining quality and meeting speed expectations creates conflict, particularly in fast-paced industries. 😭 What’s more concerning is the lack of #career advancement opportunities, which stifle growth and drive talent away. For organizations to retain their Quality Management professionals, they need to address these issues head-on.

Your company doesn’t care about quality or compliance Really, they don’t They care about the value that comes from solid quality and compliance management systems Next time you have to have a hard conversation in either area Remove yourself from the conversation Stop saying things like: “No one cares about the quality processes I’m working on!” “People don’t listen to me!” Start saying things like: “There’s a disconnect between our processes and our people. Who is the best person to talk to so we can get everything dialed in together?” “Our team has a hard time truly understanding training material. I just walked the production floor (or audited a process) and identified improvement opportunities. Can I work directly with the team to resolve these misunderstandings?” The latter will ALWAYS work better than the former Why? Because no one likes working with emotional team members with complaining as their default reaction Sure, you can FEEL upset But once you ACT upset Especially in a role where you will naturally experience pushback You’ve lost the battle and the war If you act emotional and expect a logical response You are going to be disappointed Because you’ve shifted focus from the team, the business, and shared goals to… Yourself It’s not about you It never was and never will be It’s a hard truth that, once accepted, will change your career Lose the ego and deliver value instead of complaints That is how you succeed in quality and compliance roles #quality #compliance #cpgindustry #manufacturing #brands #dietarysupplements #beautyindustry #foodandbeverage

The tale of three types of Quality manager 😉 First up, the Flip-Flop Manager: This is the type of manager who starts every meeting and discussion with his team with a heartfelt declaration, “Quality is my top priority! I won’t compromise on this!” But the moment the business team raises an eyebrow, they switch gears faster than a race car driver, saying, “Oh, let’s support the business, folks! We need to see the bigger picture here. Release the product!” Next, we have the Stubborn Warrior: This manager is like a quality gladiator, boasting, “I’d rather wrestle a lion than compromise on quality! I’ll fight the CEO if I have to!” And fight they do—relentlessly. Their epic battles leave them and their department as drained as a smartphone on 1% battery life. Finally, meet the Data Devotee: This manager won’t make a move without a mountain of data. They’ll challenge every assumption and demand proof before taking any step. Need a decision? Better have charts, graphs, and a thesis ready, because they’re going to analyze the current situation from every angle like a detective solving a mystery. In Quality Department, we’ve got all kinds—from the flip-floppers to the warriors to the data detectives. Each with their own quirks, strengths, and, let’s admit it, a fair share of laughs! Which kind of your manager is or you are 😀

🟢 Are you Quality Directionless??   Today Richard talks about how to access a Quality Director without the hefty cost.   Quality management is essential for enhancing an organisation's brand and reputation, protecting against risks, increasing efficiency, boosting profits, and reducing waste. However, in a volatile company, Quality Assurance principles may take a back seat as the management team deals with one problem after another. This leaves little time for continuous quality improvement activities that are crucial for every business.   A Quality Director can help in such situations by holding the executive directors and the board accountable and managing the company's Quality Strategy and Performance.   By identifying barriers to performance and implementing strategies to overcome them, a Quality Director can help a company achieve a more consistent product or service, increased efficiency, higher profitability, and reduced waste. This ultimately leads to outperforming the competition, achieving greater customer satisfaction, and protecting the brand from defects and recalls. Investing in quality management is not just about cost but also about increasing staff motivation and morale, taking the company to a new level of success.   Hiring an experienced, non-executive Quality Director on a pro-rata basis can provide the necessary expertise, without the hefty price tag of a full-time hire!   By focusing solely on Quality Systems and performance, a non-executive Quality Director can bring valuable insights and drive positive changes in the company.   Neglecting quality strategy can result in repeated errors and missed opportunities for improvement, ultimately leaving money on the table. It is essential to invest in quality management to ensure long-term success and growth for the business   #QualityAssurance #QualityManagementSystems #Strategy #ISO9001 #processimprovement #leadership #business #QA #personaldevelopment #teamdevelopment #successcoaching #continuousimprovement #QualityDirector 

simple explanation about the difference between QA and QC.

Quality assurance is not a one-time activity; it's an ongoing process. Regular audits, performance monitoring, and feedback loops help us identify areas for improvement and make necessary adjustments for a better product experience. #ContinuousQuality #FeedbackLoop

Here is a fun question/scenario going into the weekend! Scenario: You search on your favorite job site for a specific role. (Let’s use Quality Assurance Manager) You get a bunch of results and find one that looks good. As you read it, the skills they need are like a checklist for your skillset and then you get to that one line…. Requires 5 years experience in the medical device field (or any other field that is not related to software, or your field). You are disappointed but you move on….So the question is: “How do you tailor your search without the fear of missing a role but not looking through so many roles that do not apply?
