The FOI launches a new Committee for Quality Management

The FOI is pleased to announce the establishment of the Quality Management Committee, within its organisation. The need for this committee has been noted for some time, as the importance of Quality Management in the industry is becoming more and more apparent. Quality Management is a culture that is still being introduced as well as practiced in companies all over the world. This involves the participation of all members in the organisation who are normally trained to aim at long-term success through customer satisfaction and benefits to all members of the organisation and to society. Total Quality Management or rather Continuous Business Improvement requires that a company maintains a high quality standard in all aspects of its business; ensuring that things are done right the first time and that defects and waste are eliminated from operations and processes, not just in production or sales.
The Committee’s objectives are in the form of three deliverables. These are: Awareness - To instill awareness amongst top management on the importance of a Quality Management Culture; Education - To introduce formal training courses that would lead to accredited/certified qualifications in Quality Management; Services - To guide and offer contact points to members on a number of possible quality issues such as improvement product quality, obtaining certification, interpretation of standards, etc, as well as providing information on possibilities to tap on funds in relation to Quality Management and Product Development.
The Committee Members are Mr Emidio J. Friggieri as Chairman, Ing. Stephen Rizzo, Mr Mark Spiteri, Ing. Ronald Attard Pullicino, Mr Patrick Camilleri Mercieca, Mr Nonzio Bonello, and Ing. Ray Muscat.
