The SocoSIX Quality Management Standard The SocoSIX Quality Management Standard is a systematic and repeatable approach to ensure our people, processes, and procedures produce results that exceed all customer expectations. The application of this standard is a foundational differentiator between SocoSIX and our competition and must be considered and applied in all that we do. Below are the steps that must be implemented and managed to adopt the Quality Management Standard:
- Embrace a culture of quality: Demand quality and excellence in every aspect of your daily work. Encourage employees to take pride in delivering services that consistently meet and exceed all internal and external expectations. Do not blame others, do not make excuses; strive for perfection.
- Establish and implement clear quality standards: Define and control the quality standard for all processes and services. Develop metrics to measure and monitor the quality of the services provided. Ensure that everyone understands and applies these standards in every action.
- Proactively identify service disruptors: Conduct a thorough analysis of all processes, service models, and past complaints or disruptions to identify areas where knowledge gaps or inconsistent instruction exist.
- Incident analysis through the 5 “whys”: When a service failure or disruption occurs, identify the root cause by implementing the interrogative technique of asking “why” 5 times. Once the root of the problem is uncovered, corrective and preventative measures may be implemented.
- Development and implementation of preventative measures: When the root cause of the incident has been identified, develop preventive measures to eliminate or reduce the likelihood of reoccurrence. This can include implementing quality control/failsafe measures, improving training programs, or working through individual performance improvement plans.
- Monitor and measure quality: Continuously monitor and measure the quality of our services and delivery model to ensure they meet or exceed established quality standards. Use metrics and feedback to identify areas for improvement and immediately act when opportunities are identified. Continuously look for ways to improve internal processes, people, and the service delivery model to ensure the highest level of quality.
