Program Presentation
Systems of quality management are mostly based on the international standard UNE EN ISO 9001 or business excellence models such as the European EFQM.
These systems are abandoning the earlier concept of assurance, that is, to always do everything the same (good or bad), incorporating continuous improvement and placing customer satisfaction and corporate profits as the primary objectives for the evolution of the company.
