Normenarbeit im Fokus

Normenarbeit ist spannend! Als Mitglied von Arbeitsgruppen der ISO-Komitees ISO TC 176 und ISO TC 262 sowie der entsprechenden nationalen Spiegelgremien des DIN bin ich mittendrin. Derzeit werden "meine" Normen ISO 9000/9001 und ISO 31000 überarbeitet. Wer etwas mehr Informationen dazu erhalten möchte, den informiert ein Podcast der DGQ mit mir.

"Agile practices and agile teams fit perfectly into a quality management system! Process regulation, control and documentation are necessary. But their definition can be far more general, flexible and self-determined than many people realise."
