DRY ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems – Don’t Repeat Yourself

Today I came across an interesting TLA (three letter acronym for the uninitiated) that is used in Software Engineering called DRY – Don’t Repeat Yourself. The basis of the principle is to reduce the repetition of information by ensuring every piece of knowledge has a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system. Basically a single source of truth.

The application of this methodology into ISO 9001 Quality, ISO 45001 Safety and ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems provides for a more maintainable, extensible system that is easy to navigate and locate information.

So the next time you are preparing or developing a quality management system (QMS), safety management system (SMS) or environmental management system (EMS) ask yourself – is it DRY or is it WET (Write Everything Twice).

The real reason two Max 8s went down?

Two Boeing airplanes have fallen out of the air and crashed in the past six months.

On the surface, this is a technical failure. But the real story is about a company’s desire to beat their rival and a failure to follow the proper process.

This isn’t just a computer bug. It’s a scandal that could have been avoided – what happened to ISO 9100?

Michel’s Patisserie face possible investigation for claims of Use By extensions

Use By dates must be applied to foods that need to be eaten before a certain time for health or safety reasons. Foods should not be eaten after the use by date and it is against the law (Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code – Standard 1.2.5 – Information requirements – date marking of food for sale) for them to be sold after this date because they may pose a health or safety risk.

Foods that don’t present a safety risk are normally labelled with a best before date. Foods that have a best before date can legally be sold after that date provided the food is fit for human consumption, although they may have lost some quality.

‘Really dodgy’: Michel’s Patisserie faces investigation over expiry date outrage
Operators of the national chain’s stores have been told to extend the use-by dates on cakes and other goods by up to six months.
