Quality Quote – Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it

“Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.” most likely writer and philosopher George Santayana who originally wrote, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

If an organisation does not have a system for managing improvement items (non-conformities, incidents, customer complaints etc) then it is only a matter of time before the same situation recurs.

Continual Improvement – the key to not making the same mistake twice

One of the founding principles of Quality Management Systems is continual improvement. This ensures mistakes (complaints, non-conformities, etc) aren’t just corrected, but the action is taken to prevent recurrence of the situation. This system of continual improvement provides a framework to ensure:

  • The situation is corrected and the consequences dealt with
  • Root Cause Analysis is undertaken to determine the root cause/s of the situation
  • An assessment of the root cause/s is undertaken for previous or potential future recurrence
  • Action is taken to prevent recurrence – lessons are learned to ensure the same mistake doesn’t happen twice.

In an alternative context, uneducated and unaware world leaders who do not understand the lessons of history will certainly repeat the mistakes of the past, at the expense of their people. Just saying…

Government Funding Grants for ISO 9001 Certification

Did you know that many Australian businesses are actually eligible for help with ISO 9001 Certification through a government-funded Business Growth Grant (part of the Australian Government’s Entrepreneurs’ Programme)?

The Business Growth Grant is designed to help improve specific areas of a business such as ISO 9001 Certification, where recommended by a facilitator. Note: to apply for a Business Growth Grant you need to have a facilitator prepare a plan with this recommendation.

The grant must be used to improve the ability and skills of your business to trade. For instance, you can engage Streamline ISO Certification Consultants to help develop and implement an ISO 9001 Quality Management System. The grant cannot be used to fix problems that are part of the normal business operations.

How much funding is available?

You can get up to 50% of eligible project costs. The minimum grant amount is $2500 (excluding GST). The maximum amount is $20,000 (excluding GST).

Businesses can only apply once for this grant, and it must be used within one year to implement some or all of the recommendations in the action plan (ie ISO 9001 Certification).

What industries does the funding target?

The High Growth Accelerator Program is targeted at Australia’s 5 Growth Sectors.

  • Advanced Manufacturing
  • Food and Agribusinesses
  • Medical Technologies and Pharmaceuticals
  • Mining Equipment, Technology, and Services
  • Oil, Gas and Energy Resources

What are the intended outcomes?

The intended outcomes of funding for the business funding grant are:

  • improved management skills
  • improved business systems and process
  • improved ability to identify and leverage growth opportunities
  • extended business networks to increase market and supply chain participation
  • improved business performance
  • which together will increase your business’s capability to trade in Australian markets and/or markets in other countries.

Who is eligible for ISO 9001 funding?

To be eligible you must:

  • Have an Australian Business Number (ABN)
  • Be registered for GST
  • and, be one of the following entities:
  • a company, incorporated in Australia or
  • an incorporated trustee applying on behalf of a trust.
  • Have the intent and opportunity to engage in or increase trade in Australian markets and/or markets in other countries, or (for the supply chain facilitation stream) have the intent and opportunity to engage in trade with a purchaser so as to directly and demonstrably contribute to or enhance its trade in Australian markets and/or markets in other countries.
  • Have an annual turnover or operating expenditure within the following range in the current or previous two financial years
  • between $1.5 million and $100 million, or
  • between $750,000 and $100 million if you are from Remote Australia or Northern Australia2
  • Have operated in Australia and filed business activity statements showing ongoing trading in at least three consecutive years.

Quality Quote – The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection

In 1989 Toyota entered the luxury car market with the Lexus line of vehicles. When advertising began for the new line, the slogan was simple: “the relentless pursuit of perfection.” Over the years it has been modified, appearing as “The passionate pursuit of perfection,” and most recently, “the pursuit of perfection.”

Personally I prefer the first version of the slogan – the relentless pursuit of perfection. It may be worth noting that this approach isn’t intended to imply that we are never satisfied with the achieved results; moreover, it reflects an approach of continually striving for continual improvement – the fundamental principle of ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems.

As an ISO 9001 Certified company, our ISO Consultants are continually refining the way we design management systems in order to identify innovation opportunities, streamline our approach and add value for our clients through intelligent and efficient management systems.
