The idea of having national standards began with a benchmark study, which was carried out among the biggest companies of Turkey, to understand the assessment center usage and the competency assessment tools. After realizing the organizational differences between assessment center operations revealed in the benchmark studies (e.g. assessor trainings, assessor evaluation methods, data integration sessions, job analysis methodologies, using technological/online tools, exercise designs, competency numbers per exercise/ per assessment center etc.) some of the experts representing a wide range of talents and interests from universities, business organizations, consultants, and the psychology profession came together to establish the National Assessment Center Guidelines for Turkey.
One of our methodologies when we are developing the Turkish Standards was to compare other countries’ standards with each other. We examined the simililarities and differences among seven countries on assessment center methods. This presentation will describe similarities and differences between Turkey’s National Assessment Center Guidelines and the other countries, and, more importanty, explore the reasons for these differences.
M.Sc. - A process to manage evolution in Software Product LinesThiago Burgos
The document describes RiPLE-EM, a process for managing evolution in software product lines. It introduces key concepts in software product lines and evolution management. It then details a systematic literature review conducted on existing approaches, which found that most focus on change and release management, but few address other areas like variability evolution. The RiPLE-EM process is then presented, including separate flows for core asset and product development that integrate change, build and release management activities. An experimental study to evaluate RiPLE-EM is also described.

Internal Audit Best Practices for Safety, Environment, and Quality AuditsNimonik
Nimonik has seen a wide variety of internal Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality (HSEQ) audit programs. They seem to come in all shapes and sizes! Each company tends to focus on different risks and controls.
Whether your organization conforms to ISO 19011 or another internal audit standard, re-focusing your internal audit program on your risks, controls, and operational reality is a key driver for operational excellence.
On March 14th, John Wolfe shared insights from over 20 years as a hands-on HSE Director and as the Sr. Director of Operations Integrity Audit for a global Oil & Gas company. John outlined the attributes of an outstanding Internal audit program. He showed you how you can build out a program tailored to your operations and add tremendous value to your business.

Presentation by Kevin Williams, OECD Secretariat, at the 11th annual meeting of the OECD Senior Budget Officials Performance and Results network, OECD, 26-27 November 2015
This document provides an overview of quality management plans (QMPs) and their requirements. It discusses the key elements that must be included in a QMP, such as management and organization, quality system components, personnel qualifications and training, procurement, documentation, and more. A QMP documents an organization's quality system and ensures that environmental data used for decision making is of adequate quality. The document provides guidance on developing each of the required 10 elements in a QMP and complying with both internal and external quality requirements.
This document provides an overview of quality management plans (QMPs) and their requirements. It discusses the key elements that must be included in a QMP, such as management and organization, quality system components, personnel qualifications and training, procurement, documentation, and more. A QMP documents an organization's quality system to ensure environmental data is of adequate quality and can be defended. The graded approach should be used to develop the QMP based on factors like the importance of work and potential decision errors.

1) The document discusses leadership requirements in ISO 9001:2015, including demonstrating leadership commitment, establishing a quality policy, and defining organizational roles and responsibilities.
2) Top management must ensure the quality management system is effective and integrated, that resources are available, and that quality objectives align with strategic goals. Customer focus and satisfaction must also be promoted.
3) The quality policy provides a framework for quality objectives and commits the organization to satisfying requirements and continual improvement. It must be communicated and available as documented information.
The document provides an overview of Lean Six Sigma training modules that teach various methods and tools, including Voice of the Customer & Critical to Quality trees, the Kano model for classifying customer needs and requirements, process mapping, and Quality Function Deployment (QFD). It describes the typical areas of application, prerequisites, team roles, goals, procedures, and considerations for applying each tool to process improvement or new product development projects.
Using the T&D Systems View book (free PDF book at www.eppic.biz) framework, this Workshop was developed for a delivery in Russia that didn't happen. It was designed for a 5 day delivery (due to language issues anticipated) but can propbably be done in 2 or 3 days. By Guy W Wallace

Webinar on Environmental Footprint data qualityMarisa Vieira
This slides deck includes the materials used in the webinar we hosted on data quality for the Environmental Footprint pilot phase. We gave this webinar on behalf of the Environmental Footprint team from the European Commission.
This document discusses quality audits and the roles and responsibilities of audit participants. It defines an audit as a systematic and documented process for obtaining evidence to determine if audit criteria are fulfilled. The document outlines different types of audits including product, process, system, and desk audits. It also describes the relationship between auditors and auditees and different types of audits such as internal, external, 1st party, 2nd party, and 3rd party audits. Finally, the roles and responsibilities of key audit participants like the client, audit program manager, lead auditor, auditor, auditee, and escort/coordinator are defined.
This document provides guidance for certification body auditors on conducting audits according to ISO/TS 16949. It outlines 31 required audit activities in a process flow chart and table. The table defines the knowledge and skills required of auditors for each activity, referencing source documents. It aims to ensure auditors are competent in areas that have been identified through IATF oversight of audits, such as having a process approach and knowledge of customer requirements and ISO/TS 16949.
The first question of Getting to Outcomes is to assess the underlying needs and resources in the community. Conducting a thorough needs and resources assessment is important to understand where problems exist, which groups are most affected, prevalent risk factors, and existing community assets. The needs assessment process involves gathering both qualitative and quantitative data from various sources to define the problem and identify solutions. Combining multiple perspectives provides a comprehensive picture of the issues and resources in the community.
This document discusses quality assessment. It begins with an introduction and poll for the participant's role. The presentation then covers the following:
1. A definition of quality assessment and tips for implementation.
2. An overview of key compliance responsibilities related to assessment under the national standards.
3. The importance of developing high-quality assessment tools, including mapping to training packages, developing instructions, and conducting quality checks through trialling and review.
4. Methods that can be used to improve the learner experience with assessment.
The document emphasizes the importance of assessment tools being valid, reliable, and fair to ensure quality outcomes. It also stresses consulting industry and conducting quality checks to refine assessment tools.
The document discusses internal auditing and ISO 9001:2015 requirements. It defines an internal audit as a systematic, independent process to evaluate conformance and effectiveness. The key points covered include: establishing an audit program that considers risk; planning audits by defining criteria, scope and methods; executing audits by gathering objective evidence through interviews, records review and observation; and identifying any nonconformities or opportunities for improvement. The goal of internal auditing is to help ensure the quality management system is functioning as intended and driving continual improvement.
The Rules Do Apply: Navigating HR ComplianceAggregage
https://www.humanresourcestoday.com/frs/26903483/the-rules-do-apply--navigating-hr-compliance
HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
This is a particular pain point for small HR departments, or HR departments of 1, that lack compliance teams and in-house labor attorneys. So, what do you do?
The goal of this webinar is to make you smarter in knowing what you should be focused on and the questions you should be asking. It will also provide you with resources for making compliance more manageable.
Objectives:
• Understand the regulatory landscape, including labor laws at the local, state, and federal levels
• Best practices for developing, implementing, and maintaining effective compliance programs
• Resources and strategies for staying informed about changes to labor laws, regulations, and compliance requirements

range of talents and interests from universities, business
organizations, consultants, and the psychology profession
• Weekly and Monthly pre-planned Meetings – Subcommittee works
• Studying and comparisons of other countries AC Standards
• Studying and comparisons of International Documents related with
personnel selection, testing, assesments etc.
• Receiving advice from other countries’ task force members (Prof.
George Thornton, Nigel Povah, Prof. Hennie Kriek)
11. Our Working Methodology
PAGE 11
1. STEP We analysed the index system of all the guideliness and
re-structured it with combining them. (So we had more then 30 topics
to make content analysis and comparisons)
2. STEP We decide to focuse on 10 standards for our Guideline,
so we established 10 subcommittee for these standards.
3. STEP Every subcommittee focused on the differences and
similiraties between the other countries’ national standards
4. STEP Every subcommittee presented their suggestions to the
main committee by linking them to the Turkey’s needs.
5. STEP The Committee accepted, rejected or changed the
suggestions, and prepared the final document and presented to
PERYON (People Management Association of Turkey).
