REFINING OUR PROCESSES
PE has been hard at work refining our Departmental processes and procedures. Our Training and Information Coordinators have worked closely with Department heads to develop flow charts that help to visualize each process. These are anticipated to be available for employee reference on the QMS site in September.
Are there PE processes that you would like further clarification on or have ideas for improvement? Submit requests and ideas to QMSTeam@patricioenterprises.com.
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Here are some important events that employees should be aware of. Additional information is available on the QMS Site:
– ISO 9001:2015 Internal Audit Training is in development. The 9001:2015 certification audit will not take place until next year.
– Process flow charts are being developed for departmental procedures.
– Be on the lookout! Brown Bag Training on our CAR/PAR system is in the works for August. The date will be announced soon.
– Departments have finalized changes to Quality Objectives.
– PE’s purchasing process is being developed and standardized.
– Departments must communicate changes to their processes/procedures. This can be done via all hands and by having the C4 post an announcement to the QMS Site.
