WAYS OF INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE COMMERCIAL COMPANIES UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE ROMANIAN LOCAL COUNCIL IN THE POST-ACCESSION PERIOD TO THE EUROPEAN MARKET
Journal Title: International Journal for Quality Research - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
More and more companies under the authority of the Local Council are interested in implementing a quality management system following the quality assurance models proposed by the ISO 9000 type international standards. Almost 200 organizations have in place a quality management system certified based on these standards. These organizations requested certification in order to enjoy a number of advantages, especially as regards their position on the market towards competition, by establishing new contractual relationships, foreseeing customers’ demands, creating products and services to better fulfil these demands, at better prices. According to some surveys, many commercial companies under the authority of the Local Council managed to obtain these advantages together with other ones such as: a better working structure, motivation of the workers, improvement of the product quality, an increase in the efficiency, productivity and market quota. As more and more similar products manufactured using the same technologies emerge on the market, quality becomes the main selection factor of the commercial companies under the authority of the Local Council on the market, thus the main mean of competitiveness. Thus, lately, in our country we witness an increasingly intense concern in this field, the change of quality-related aspects, this being the main motivation for drafting this article.
