Webinar: Quality Management Systems and TEAMER
This webinar for TEAMER Facilities* provides a review of international Quality Management Standards and their use in Quality Management Systems, including the ISO 9000 and ISO/IEC 17000 series of standards. The value of adopting quality management systems for TEAMER and TEAMER Facilities, and the practical mechanisms for implementing such systems, is discussed, with these goals in mind:
- Review international standardization
- Summarize the value of Quality Management Systems
- Increase awareness of the range of Quality Management Standards available from ISO and ISO/IEC
- Encourage adoption of Quality Management Systems at TEAMER Facilities
- Facilitate improvements in existing Quality Management Systems at TEAMER Facilities (Testing & Expertise)
* While this webinar’s original intended audience was TEAMER facilities, it includes generally applicable information for the broader marine energy industry. We are therefore making it available publicly for the industry’s benefit.
