Excellence Beyond Compliance
Author: William I. White
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1351032569
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Many companies limp along from day-to-day treating the quality side of the business as a necessary evil, and doing only what is minimally necessary for compliance to regulations. This kind of approach to compliance almost always results in inefficiencies and sometimes can result in a curious kind of noncompliance. Documentation created with compliance as the sole consideration often ends up confusing the employees who must use the documentation. This book looks beyond what is necessary for compliance alone to address what makes a quality management system (QMS) both effective and efficient. This book also never forgets that real people must make any QMS work; the book provides a blueprint for creating a QMS that real people will find useful. After a review of the challenges that any medical device company faces in the world of today—the multiple sources of QMS requirements—the book poses a question: are we satisfied with the QMS we have now, or could we do better? If we want to do better, this book can help. This book offers: Advice that will lead to an effective and efficient QMS. Detailed guidance on the key decisions to be made regarding the quality system being established. Detailed ideas on how to execute those decisions. Up-to-date information on compliance to current regulations and standards and guidance on staying up to date. Specific examples of procedures. Information regarding requirements for combination products, such as a drug + device combination. Advice on incorporating risk management in the QMS.

Auditing Beyond Compliance
Author: Janet Bautista-Smith
Publisher: Quality Press
ISBN: 0873898400
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
This book introduces a portable audit model to facilitate a simple, flexible, and effective audit of single or multiple quality system standards and achieve both compliance and initiation of improvement initiatives. This model allows easy connection and interchangeability of the multiple standards even under rapid system changes typical of modern day operations. This will allow you to focus on compliance verification and improvement at a high level of consistency with minimum process disruption and cost. Emphasis is not only on compliance but also on improvement partnership with operations through the use of strategy models. These strategy models help accentuate the internal audit role as a dynamic element and catalyst for improvement. Real life-based challenges are used in case studies to demonstrate the application of typical internal audit methodologies combined with an implementation engine such as Lean auditing strategies. This will clarify theories that are commonly viewed as abstract by the novice and misunderstood by experienced professionals. This is the breakthrough from a dormant internal audit program into a proactive tool for added-value improvement. Lean methodology is integrated through simple models ans the focus is using logical sense to understand and apply the concept.

Excellence Beyond Compliance

ISBN: 9781600250873
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
What can we do TODAY to improve the well being of animals? People are passionate about animals, and this is reflected in the diverse opinions surrounding animal issues. Underlying all the spirited discussions is a common desire to make a positive difference in the lives of animals. EXCELLENCE BEYOND COMPLIANCE: Enhancing Animal Welfare Through the Constructive Use of the Animal Welfare Act helps zoological professionals and organizations make such a difference, and in doing so reframes the conversation about animal welfare. Excellence Beyond Compliance presents a voluntary, non-regulatory plan for attaining compliance with the federal Animal Welfare Act-and moving beyond it to embrace excellence in animal welfare. Zoological professionals and organizations engage daily with countless challenges and opportunities. Excellence Beyond Compliance empowers them to channel their passion and dedication into concrete actions to better serve the animals in their care. It is an essential guidebook that will improve-and even transform-those who put its principles into practice. Some of the key items addressed for zoological organizations include: - Creating an outstanding leadership team, including a dedicated Animal Welfare Officer - Preparing for inspections, with tips on creating inspection checklists, conducting entrance briefings and ensuring key staff availability during the inspection - Interacting with inspectors during and after inspections, including advice on how to respectfully address differences of opinion with an inspector - Utilizing self-certified compliance reporting to maintain compliance and document improvements between inspections and accreditation reviews - Designing Animal Welfare Enhancement Plans and Zoo, Aquarium and Park Improvement Plans - Addressing serious incidents and emergencies to ensure the safety of animals and people - Handling investigations, complaints, and other challenges in a manner that promotes exceptional animal welfare and organizational excellence - Developing an organizational culture where everyone shares responsibility for-and can make a difference in-the lives of animals. For twenty-five years, author and attorney James F. Gesualdi has dedicated himself to legal, regulatory and strategic engagement with animal welfare and wildlife conservation issues. Excellence Beyond Compliance distills the experience and wisdom he has gained along the way into an inspiring yet eminently practical guide to bring people together to enhance the lives and welfare of animals. Advance recognition for EXCELLENCE BEYOND COMPLIANCE: Enhancing Animal Welfare Through the Constructive Use of the Animal Welfare Act "Jim Gesualdi is a knowledgeable, tireless, and enthusiastic advocate for improving the welfare of animals in human care. His Excellence Beyond Compliance program is a unique resource, full of advice and useful tools gleaned from decades of experience, to help those of us dedicated to caring for animals do our very best each day. As he frequently says: 'It's all about the animals.' " Wendy Bulger, Esq. General Counsel San Diego Zoo Global "Gesualdi's primer is a 'must have' for anyone or any facility attempting to navigate the Animal Welfare Act. His team approach to welfare challenges every staff member to recognize that their performance, no matter what the task, should translate to improving the welfare of the animals in their care. My favorite quote: 'EXCELLENCE BEYOND COMPLIANCE is an ongoing process rather than a destination.' His challenge of continuous improvement takes us from just meeting requirements to developing a culture dedicated to welfare, health and safety for animals and their caregivers."

The Cambridge Handbook of Compliance
Author: Benjamin van Rooij
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108754139
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 1597
Book Description
Compliance has become key to our contemporary markets, societies, and modes of governance across a variety of public and private domains. While this has stimulated a rich body of empirical and practical expertise on compliance, thus far, there has been no comprehensive understanding of what compliance is or how it influences various fields and sectors. The academic knowledge of compliance has remained siloed along different disciplinary domains, regulatory and legal spheres, and mechanisms and interventions. This handbook bridges these divides to provide the first one-stop overview of what compliance is, how we can best study it, and the core mechanisms that shape it. Written by leading experts, chapters offer perspectives from across law, regulatory studies, management science, criminology, economics, sociology, and psychology. This volume is the definitive and comprehensive account of compliance.
