ABOUT ISO 9001:2000 AND ITS RELEVANCE IN ADMINISTRATION

For any system to be effective, it needs to be well documented, continuously evaluated, commonly understood, implemented and upgraded. This requirement is specifically met by the ISO 9000 series of Quality System and standards introduced by International Organization for Standardization. The ISO 9000 standards are a set of international quality management standards and guidelines. Since their initial publication in 1987, they have earned a global reputation as the basis for establishing quality management system. This will facilitate a collaborative government environment and efficient service to citizens and business. In addition to this if practiced in spirit it will facilitate continuous improvement of the citizen centric services which will lead to good governance. The added advantage of the ISO 9000 Quality System Standards is the provision of Quality System Certification. In light of Right to information Bill and e-governance initiatives by government, the implementation has got special relevance as it will make the administration more information friendly and performance oriented and more focused towards common citizen.

Implementation of ISO 9001:2000 is not new to private and public sector organizations. Implementing it in government departments is definitely a innovative approach and it requires a committed leadership. In year 2000, the then prime minister of Malaysia Dr Mahathir Mohammad emphasized to implement ISO 9001 in all the Govt departments, administrations and   Malaysian public services. The main objective of implementation of ISO 9001:2000 was to become the first to implement the e-government following the launch of its multimedia super corridor (MSC).

The following eight quality management principles form the basis for the quality management system standards within the ISO 9000 family: Customer focus, Leadership, Involvement of people, Process approach, System approach to management, Continual Improvement, Factual approach to decision making, Mutually beneficial supplier  relationship.
