Seavus has successfully implemented ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004 standards in its work processes

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 02:23:16 GMT

It is our pleasure to officially inform you that from 27 June 2008, Seavus Group is certified according to ISO 9001:2000 standard for quality of processes and ISO 14001:2004 standard for environmental protection.

The certification audit regarding ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004 International Standards have passed successfully in Seavus development centres Skopje, Nis and Minsk.

This is a result of a hard work and willingness of all Seavus employees on order to standardize and organize the work processes according to the international quality standards.

With the implementation of the standards for quality of processes and for environmental protection, Seavus has proven once again that is a company which is a source of technological know-how for development of the economy on the market of information technology. It shows the capacity for export and the eligibility for competition on the global markets.

Seavus is a company with systematic and clear leadership which is an important factor contributing to the organization’s success. These endeavours are supported by establishing and maintaining a management system focusing on continual performance improvement and considering the requirements placed by all the interested parties. No matter whether it is a question of quality, environmental or safety management, in-house implementation will always be endorsed by strategic decisions aiming at increasing competitiveness on the market.

Quality management and environmental protection do pay off

Many reasons, which are also corroborated statistically, speak for establishing a quality management system. Thanks to modern management systems, the right things can be done at the right time by using the right resources. In concrete terms, this implies intensified customer focus, process approach within the organization, cost savings and good housekeeping with resources, increase in people motivation and a resulting traceable increase in the corporate value.

Additional background information

ISO 9001:2000

By late 2006, little less than one million organizations had been certified acc. to ISO 9001:2000. This series of standards has succeeded in establishing the features of organizational quality as a world-wide standard independently from the sectors and for all the company sizes. The ISO 9001:2000 Standard aims at using uniform terminology. Such terms as “requirement”, “customer satisfaction”, “product”, “process”, “system”, “quality” and “quality improvement” are defined internationally and thus become comparable. The four basic modules of the ISO 9001:2000 Standard are

• Management responsibility

• Resource management

• Product realization

• Measurement, analysis and improvement

For all the organizations, the implementation of the improvement cycle “Plan-Do-Check-Act” should be in the centre of interest when applying the ISO 9001:2000 Standard.

• Plan: establishing objectives of quality management;

• Do: implementing the projects and activities according to planning;

• Check: reviewing implementation for the extent to which the target variables have been achieved;

• Act: If the programme has not adequately been implemented or target variables have not been achieved, corrective or preventive action will have to be taken.

ISO 14001:2004

The goal of environmental management acc. to ISO 14001:2004 is to promote environmental protection and prevent adverse environmental impacts and pollution in harmony with socio-economic requirements. Just like ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:2004 is based on the idea of making processes controllable by means of management systems. Instead of specifying the contents, ISO 14001:2004 trusts in the steering effect of management systems that work well. For all the organizations, the implementation of the improvement cycle “Plan-Do-Check-Act” should be in the centre of interest when applying the ISO 14001:2004 Standard.
