Results and analysis

The advantages of integrated management systems and their contribution to sustainable development

Sustainable development for organizations can be defined as the ability to efficiently manage risks related to economic, environmental and social factors in order to create long-term value in organizations. In addition to the benefits for organizations, it has been found in many studies that IMSs have many benefits that are closely related to sustainable development.

Discussion and conclusion

Integrated management systems focus on medium and long-term goals of companies rather than the improvement of short-term indicators and form a corporate culture for this purpose. Moreover, it is believed that this work can provide stakeholders with a building platform to expand their interest in integrated management systems.

Quality Management Systems in Education

Introduction

Quality management systems

To be disciplined: this BPP refers to the application of a strong systems perspective in all structural, functional and behavioral aspects of the institution. Ensuring Integration of Effort: A BPP that expresses the institution's focus on value creation, management and delivery over functional needs and hierarchies.

Making a quality management system serve education

Managing the education infrastructure for quality assurance involves seeking the best alignment between the different assessment methods and the rest of the activities which in their own way determine the quality of the education output and outcomes. The quality or how well the processes will work is determined by the quality of the resources fed into the transforming processes. Assuming the input sources are favourable, the quality of the output is determined by the suitability and quality of the transforming operations.

But beyond these assumptions, there is the need to ensure that the recruitment and selection of the inputs is subservient to the framework of customer satisfaction performance. It basically means that the input and output of processes should be built from an analysis of the requirements. The quality of the buildings is often judged by the images they contain, then by their suitability as facilitators of a process of learning and transformation.

This includes the reflections that the teacher makes after meetings with the students, and these focus on the reactions and reactions of the students. Educational outcomes are more of the immediate and rather short-term outcomes of the education delivery system.

Comparative analysis of quality management systems

Institutional growth may not always be measured in financial terms, as there are many non-financial pursuits of the institution. The following sections focus on the meanings and implications of the five disciplines in relation to education. Creative tension: understanding the present in terms of the future and mapping out how to get there.

A mental model of customer requirements informs the entire framework of training, skilling and refining the organization's continuous improvement (CI) vectors. Most importantly, they are driven from the 'voice of the customer' and validated by a Six Sigma roadmap approach. This point is further illustrated in the comparative analysis of the structure of the different QMSs.

In some of the institutions, the reasons for low use range from the strategic (above) through management to the technical level of the institution. Quality education depends on the presence of a provision of resources at the strategic, managerial and operational levels of the institution.

Heidegger and Althusser on Quality Management Systems in Open and Distance Learning

• Conceptualizing the notion of QMS in the context of higher education space
• Heidegger views on Being and Becoming
• QMS as a carrier of dominant class ideology
• QMS as a key pillar of the higher education industry

Starting with the concept of quality, as by virtue of professional practice, is not a new phenomenon in the higher education landscape. It's about content and intellectual innovation. It is. With this in mind, it could be argued that factors such as "competition, cost and accountability have promoted the high interest quality of education"[8]. Applying Deming's philosophy and principles to the instructional process in higher education, Jane Andrews[8] observes, “there are several major reasons why institutions of higher education should .

TQMandit's successor, QMS. Most scholars see Deming as “the father of the third wave of . Nevertheless, the call for quality in higher education is loud and clear these days. The concept of quality in higher education is sold in the Middle Ages and can be traced back to the 13th.

They further argue that "an increasing number of higher education institutions adopt the TQMata approach to increase the school's ability to attract and retain students by implementing processes to continuously improve equity. Within this, the author argues that. Despite the fact that "TQM models developed for higher education are consistent with.

TQM Is Alive but Not as We Know It: The Use of a Novel TQM Model in a Private Healthcare Company

Theory building and model development

Other limitations such as TQM's managerial obsession with statistical process control reveal a technocratic ideology that treats workers like machine parts, at the expense of employee discretion and dignity [7]. Of the approximately 20 organizational theories reviewed, three were selected based on the following criteria: (1) their fit with a postmodern context, (2) their potential to overcome TQM's theoretical limitations and implementation barriers, and (3) their conceptual connections to TQM. Since CSR involves a stakeholder approach, its integration can also overcome the issue of TQM implementation of a limited stakeholder approach by top managers [Barrier 2].

It follows that a CT approach could overcome the Newtonian limitations of TQM and promote new decision-making capabilities, an advantage that is especially useful when organizations are subject to dynamic conditions. Although the Newtonian and linear concepts of TQM have paradigmatic differences from CT's ideology of nonlinear causality and unpredictability, some connections can be made between the two. Another important reason for choosing KM is that its theory supports double and triple loop learning, addressing TQM's one-dimensional use of single negative loop learning [Limitation 6].

Additionally, the KM strategy of “getting the right knowledge to the right people at the right time [27]” can be used to support TQM's goal of continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. As previously discussed, the integration of CSR, CT and KM with TQM presents advantages that address the theoretical limitations of TQM.

Figure 1. Conceptual framework of EALIM.

Implementation of EALIM

A total of eight groups were held during the implementation of EALIM, with an average of five participants in each group. In fact, many ideas for the adoption of EALIM came from the participants of the focus groups, which became a success factor for the implementation of EALIM. For example, when trustees were asked what they thought of the Indian project, their responses included.

Interview responses from senior and middle managers that support this finding include "There is much more emphasis on learning", "The culture allows people to learn from their own desire and effort", and "There is now a theme of learning in the organisation". The perception of a learning culture was shared by focus group participants who provided insight into why they felt a learning culture had emerged. During a focus group early in the implementation of EALIM, participants were asked to share ideas on how EALIM principles could be adopted in the organization. It felt like our job was to take care of clients compared to now, where it is more therapeutic, "Staff are working harder to help patients as opposed to keeping them" and "The approach to care has changed from caring for patients to helping them become independent." These types of responses support the finding that the adoption of EALIM contributed to an improvement in patient independence.

For example, one senior manager stated: “There are inconsistencies between the units because of the way the managers run, especially in [Hospital X]. When carers were asked to describe their experiences of their manager's management style, their responses included: there are problems here, clients are ignored and people don't feel safe.

Conclusion

Although there were organizational improvements during EALIM's adoption, several top managers said that there were inconsistencies in service quality due to poor leadership. The finding that EALIM's adoption improved patient self-advocacy is also novel, as a literature search yielded no evidence of this from any quality improvement initiative. Nevertheless, in contexts where there is broad commitment to EALIM's principles, the results of this study can be replicated.

Researchers may wish to take this study further by examining the applicability of EALIM in contexts outside of healthcare, particularly where ethics are at the fore (eg, financial services). To avoid a mismatch between EALIM's message and practice, senior managers are recommended not only to espouse EALIM's principles, but also to exemplify them in their daily work with others: thus providing a personal example of action. As William Shakespeare wrote in Coriolanus, "Action is eloquence, and the eyes of the ignorant are wiser than the ears [39]".
