The success of any business relies on how it takes care of its customer expectations and employee satisfaction. A major aspect of this is ensuring the safety of employees and efficient quality control in the various organizational processes to achieve great business results and regulatory compliance.
With the regulatory environment for quality and safety requirements becoming more complex and stricter across industries, businesses need a hands-on approach to ensuring and maintaining compliance. The stakes are high, and failure to adhere to safety and quality requirements can result in serious penalties.
However, organizations that have adopted multiple compliance standards often manage them as standalone systems. This is not only wasteful in terms of cost and effort but does not bring any synergy with similar processes.
This is what happened with a Tanzania-based cement manufacturing company that was looking to consolidate all its quality management systems along with safety processes into one software system. They partnered with Effivity's QHSE software to address their unique challenges and improve safety and quality management.
Let's see how.
About the Tanzania-Based Cement Manufacturer
This cement manufacturing company based in Tanzania was leading the industry with its high-quality products, processes, and operations.
To maintain its competitive edge in the industry, the company puts great emphasis on strict quality control as well as the health and safety of its employees. For this, they have also adopted and implemented a quality management system along with a health and safety management system to streamline the respective processes, manage documentation, minimize risks, and ensure compliance.
However, they manage these systems separately, which often leads to inefficiency and duplication of efforts. There is no coordination between employees, documents are maintained in silos, and regulatory requirements are often missed. As a result, non-conformances often go undetected and lead to higher quality and safety risks for the employees.
Not only does this affect compliance with the ISO standards, but it also impacts the profitability of the company in a competitive environment.
