WHO IS ON YOUR TEAM?
These days, few businesses operate alone. Specialisation has been reinvented
from the pre-industrial revolution days of honed craftsmanship and large scale
operations requiring co-ordinated management skills means that third party
suppliers are more than ever before the make up of a business operation.
Business is not an isolated performance, its a team event.
Your brand depends on the integrity and performance of third party suppliers.
Your reputation will to a great extent be influenced by the company you keep. It
is therefore critical to align with suppliers whose management system reflects the
same diligence as your own system.
Getting to know your suppliers means properly
investigating previous work history, including on-
time performance and on-budget production.
Avoiding information gaps that may hide
potential or critical compliance or ethical risks
has been highlighted in recent headlines when
participating in emerging markets. Failure to
undertake comprehensive due diligence of supply chains may not only result in
legal and financial repercussions for investors but the domino effect may also
negatively affect the project management's brand value and reputation. These
reputational costs may continue long after any particular contract has been
finalised. Your performance of each contract includes judgement on the
performance of each supplier and each employee and how you managed any
unexpected event throughout the life of the contract. Your management skill
becomes a piece of your overall history and will be judged in relevance for future
contract opportunities.
It is precisely because your team is a reflection of you that you need to input
controls to protect your brand and your future. Often those controls are built into
the tender process and require each hopeful tender company to address a risk
assessment profile of their existing quality management system and historic
involvement in similar contract criteria.
Quality Management is more than product quality and much more than a tick box
system. Quality Management is the culture of management to perform well and
implement an overall assessment of risk pertaining to the various chapters of
business protocols and the subsequent management of a system of integrity for
each, based on economic, political, legal and trade-related factors or industry
best practices.
Certified quality management such as ISO 9001 means that an independent third
party has audited the system and verified that it meets a particular and well
defined international standard.
Securing your business from operational risks is a first priority for any
management team. Losses of life, intellectual property, physical assets and
reputation can have a devastating impact on a business and the people within the
business. Apart from the financial and legal risks, integrity is a critical attribute
and is gaining more and more significance as threats grow in number and
complexity. Theft, dishonesty, fraud and corruption are well understood integrity
risks but corporate malfeasance and unethical working conditions are rising
challenges to be considered.
Choosing a partner who has a certified quality management system may be a cost
effective strategy that shifts some of the diligence process away from your budget
whilst providing a level of confidence in the
potential partner's management culture.
This is particularly helpful in global
participation where interpretation of quality
and standards may differ. Having an independent audit review keeps everyone on
the same page with the same expectations and the same audit standards. It
indicates that the business has built-in controls to manage its operation to an
acceptable standard of quality.
It provides a reliability factor without the cost of in depth investigation.
