Valunorm work method

 

For the implementation of management systems according to ISO 9001, IRIS, ISO 17025, EN 9100, ISO 14001, etc. standards:

  • Gap analysis and training :

Method:

The gap analysis and training on standards are performed concomitantly with a view to identifying gaps in real time and prepare the personnel for the implementation phase. 

-       the service is segmented in sessions, each corresponding to a particular theme of the standard being implemented

-       the requirements of the standards are presented through practical examples that are relevant to the client

-       the client’s processes/procedures are compared in real time to the requirements of the standards

Objectives and output of the training / gap analysis:

-       Process owners are trained on the requirements of the standards that are relevant to the process they manage

-       the Gap analysis report including :

      1. List and description of the client’s gaps and assets for each chapter of the standard
      2. Identification of the Quality tools that need to be put in place to resolve gaps Valunorm recommends the tools and methods that are not only necessary to meet the normative requirements but that also bring about an intrinsic added value to the company’s operations
      3. Macro-planning for the implementation of the standard
  • Implementation of the standards through working group sessions : 

Based on the results of the gap analysis, Valunorm organises collaborative sessions :

-       Valunorm works in close collaboration with its clients to prepare documents in real time and following a process approach

-       These working sessions aim at developing the collaborative competency of employees and at enhancing the mutual awareness of their functions

-       This collaborative format allows a quicker implementation of the standards at clients’, while maintaining Valunorm consulting days at a minimum. This results in an optimised quality/price/leadtime ratio.

  • Realisation of audits and preparation to certification audits
