Quality management is the management of all the activities and tasks required to maintain a desired level of excellence. These may include quality planning, quality policies, quality control, and quality improvement. Just like everything else changes with time, so does quality management too. So, let us take a look at the future trends in quality management that will create a great impact in the year 2018. Quality management will become universal Unlike earlier when quality management was restricted to only manufacturing and software industries, today it is practiced in all leading industries. Both private and public organizations have adopted quality management procedures. In fact, almost every organization today is encouraging its employees to attend Quality Management System Training in India through quality workshops, seminars, and conferences, and earn quality certifications. Quality management will be implemented as a project Without implementation, knowledge about quality management is of no use. Seminars and workshops can help you know what quality management is, but how you must implement it can come to you only with practice. Therefore, you must manage your quality initiatives like a project by using various tools, techniques, and methodologies.
Quality will be used as a strategic tool To make an organization more competitive and quality focused, you must integrate quality planning with the mission, vision, and strategies of your organization. In this way, you can also create values of strategic importance. Use of analytical tools in quality management With all forms of information like text, audio, and video existing everywhere, Data Analytics brings meaning to all of it by applying algorithm to raw data by finding patterns. Such analytical tools will be increasingly used by quality managers in 2018 to manage process performance in a better way. Social media integration in quality initiatives Social media has become an unavoidable part of everyone’s life today. With so much of data on social media, teams can be designed and existing processes can be redesigned to improve the existing products and meet customer specifications. This is why social media is sure to be used in quality initiatives in the near future. Internet of Things implementation in quality initiatives Internet of Things (IoT) is a smart interconnected network of various devices, sensors, and services through the Web that facilitates real-time communication across many locations. Implementing IoT in everyday routines and tasks highly results in cost and time efficiency. Quality management and sustainability will be integrated Quality management will create value in sustainability in a big way. Therefore, quality management and sustainability will be integrated. In fact, many sustainability practitioners are undergoing training and certifications to make themselves acquainted with quality management. Cloud-based quality management system Today, organizations don't have to make huge investments in IT infrastructures. They can now host their Quality Management System on private or public Cloud, or opt for SaaS on a multi-tenant or dedicated model; thus having minimal on-premises infrastructure with less capital expenditure. Such Cloud-based quality management systems can help organizations manage quality programs from anywhere and at any time; and this will only be gaining more popularity in 2018.
