standards
My experiences as a marketing consultant has afforded me the opportunity to witness numerous companies attempts to implement quality standards.
Pros: These programs help implement efficient operation and production procedures for struggling companies.
Cons: These procedures and even the consideration of implementing these procedures send shivers down the backs of mid management. The results can be devastating to corporate morale.
Fact: Most mid sized companies that rush into a serious quality control program with gusto, who spends thousands if not millions on implementation later limp away to lick their wounds.
fact: Most mid sized companies abandond these programs or compromise to a facade of a program.
Conclusion:
For those with the fortitude and right employee base, good luck on your efforts to implement. The rewards are there if you can do it right.
Good luck
