SETTING THE BENCHMARK

Celebrating World Quality Week 2024 at Benchmark

by Brenda Battin Cianciosi / November 12, 2024

On November 11 through 15, 2024, Benchmark will commemorate World Quality Week (WQW). This week is an excellent opportunity to spotlight the critical role of quality management in driving operational excellence in our organization. This year’s theme, “Quality: From Compliance to Performance,” highlights the journey of quality management from ensuring compliance to enhancing operational performance in today’s complex, ever-evolving business environment. Compliance focuses on ensuring adherence to laws, regulations, and international standards for quality management systems. In contrast, quality emphasizes meeting or exceeding customer expectations through innovation and continuous improvement to deliver more value to customers. This year’s WQW theme emphasizes the importance of going beyond essential compliance. It focuses on achieving excellence and top-tier performance, which drives innovation, improves customer satisfaction, and results in market leadership

At Benchmark, WQW is an opportunity to share a wealth of insights and practical strategies for staying ahead of compliance standards to drive continuous improvement. WQW is a time to come together and recognize our dedicated team of quality professionals who make valuable contributions to our company’s growth and our customers’ success. Activities at our site celebration events will focus on the power of quality principles and methods to ensure compliance, foster innovation, and enhance agility.

Quality management is key to delivering and improving customer value, a process that requires team effort and dedication. Involving the quality function in process design can prevent problems before they occur and optimize business operational performance.
