Hello there,
I am sure you have read so much about standardization that I am beginning to sound like a broken record, and you are wondering what the fuss is about. Well, today, I bring you all the goodies about standardization and why you must get your business certified. Welcome to another edition of Productivity Wednesday.
Standardization organizations are bodies whose primary functions are developing, coordinating, promulgating, revising, amending, reissuing, interpreting or otherwise producing standards to address the needs of a group of affected adopters. Organizations who adopt various standards are bound by procedures and processes of the standard which they are certified for. These standards are beneficial to these organizations by:
- Providing clarity and predictability: Being standardized brings order into an organization’s systems and process thereby bringing about clarity and predictability especially in a case of errors within a system.
- Increasing Knowledge Retention: By standardizing processes of an organization, knowledge is properly documented and passed on such that the exit of a key man doesn’t affect the smooth transitioning and running of the processes within the organization.
- Ensuring Flexibility: Standardization makes it easier to rotate staff without any lags as processes have been documented which making onboarding process to departments easy. Even other staff who have been moved to new department find it easy to learn and deliver.
- Providing Consistency to Quality Delivery: Nobody likes erratic processes or products; getting different qualities from same organization with each request for service. Consistency is ensured with your standardization in place because there are laid down protocols by which you would go through. Every customer loves consistent quality service.
- Reducing Waste: Every organization seeks to maximize profit and minimize loss and one of the ways of doing this is reducing wastage. Standardization establishes an internal system of quality standards that can help set you apart from your competition.
