Quality Assurance
As Director General of the Institute
of Quality Assurance, Frank comments: "British companies have still failed to
grasp the importance of quality management and we are extremely concerned at the
number of UK organisations which operate no defined system at all. High
standards of quality are the driving force behind competitiveness, so quality
needs to be an integral part of an organisation's culture and led from the top.
We are particularly concerned that senior respondents are not aware of the
systems that they do operate." For Frank’s views, and those of the Institute of
Quality Assurance, on quality and performance improvement see the
IQA website.
