To gain a leading edge in today’s competitive environment, higher education enterprises are implementing and obtaining International Standard Organisation (ISO) 9001:2000 certification for their quality management system (QMS). In this paper, the use of ARIS (Architecture of Integrated Information Systems) methodology to assist in process understanding when implementing QMS is discussed. Introd...

This paper proposed seven existing and new performance indicators to measure the effectiveness of quality management system (QMS) maintenance and practices in construction industry. This research is carried out with a questionnaire based on QMS variables which are extracted from literature review and project performance indicators which are established from project management's theory. Data col...

At present, there a lack information about level adoption QMS by SMEs in Gauteng Province, even though that province has highest number South Africa (SA). This study therefore aims investigate effect ISO 9001 on Gauteng. Quantitative research was conducted, an online survey ...

Modelling techniques have previously predicted the observed behaviour of perfectly manufactured QMS mass filters. These methods are extended to examination of the behaviour of imperfect QMS filters; this examination considers the behaviour of QMS filters with one rod displaced radially inward as this is a simple manufacturing defect that arises when a rod does not fit correctly into the mountin...

In aqueous media, photochemical excitation (S(1)) of hydroxyadamantyl, diphenylhydroxymethyl, and hydroxypropyl derivatives of 4-phenylphenol 5-9 leads to solvent-assisted deprotonation of the phenol OH, and protonation of the benzyl alcohol coupled with dehydration, that delivers quinone methides (QMs) 14-18. The QMs react with CH(3)OH converting them in high quantum yields to the photosolvoly...

Abstract The objective of this article is to show that project management practices present key success factors for implemented a Quality Management System (QMS) in Moroccan companies. In general, the organizations seem look at implementation quality system as and they employ standard tools, albeit different extent ways.
