How do you foster agreement when opinions diverge on quality?
-
Focus on the organization’s overarching goals—improving product quality, meeting customer requirements, and ensuring compliance—by clearly defining the vision and expected outcomes. Since some disagreements arise from varying interpretations of quality standards, consult experts or references to clarify them. Present data and KPIs to show how these standards reduce costs and boost customer satisfaction, easing acceptance among stakeholders and auditors. Establish periodic feedback and reporting to quickly address any issues or ambiguities. Finally, recognize the active participation of stakeholders and auditors, reinforcing motivation for collaboration and acceptance.

El equipo de auditoría es imparcial e independiente. Solo debe evaluar el grado de cumplimiento de los estándares en base a evidencias objetivas: conforme o no conforme. En cuanto a las partes interesadas, se deben tener en cuenta desde el inicio, para poder establecer los estándares de calidad. Por otra parte, se debe considerar el nivel de interés, influencia e impacto de las partes interesadas para priorizar los estándares de calidad. Establecer los niveles de calidad, métodos, especificaciones, y comunicarlos a todas las partes interesadas es fundamental. Por otra parte, deben estar documentados los procesos, y demostrar cumplimiento a través de los registros.
