It has long been recognized that investment in quality management systems, in addition to responding to customer expectations, has resulted in benefits to the efficiency of an organization, its operations and economic performance as well as to the quality of products and services.

These eight quality management principles are: • Customer focused organization • Leadership • Involvement of people • Process approach • System approach to management • Continual improvement • Factual approach to decision making • Mutually beneficial supplier relationship The purpose of this master project – having analyzed the theoretical aspects of implementation of quality system according to international standards, to prepare the plan of sertification process in JSC "Uklara".

In the third part of the project I have analyzed the need of implementation of quality management system according to LST EN ISO 9001: 2000 in JSC and presented the process of implementation of it.
