AIAG members and Odette - together with established industry partners and stakeholders have decided to release a new version of MMOG/LE, in order to support the following objectives for a more stable and predictable supply chain.
MoreISO / IEC 17025 is a standard that applies to laboratories in various industries and ensures that standards for laboratory testing and calibration are followed in practice.
MoreRecently, we have begun to accumulate events that we are not used to in our latitudes. Apart from the pandemic, we have certainly all caught a tornado in Moravia and other extreme weather events. ISO 22301 specifies business continuity requirements and rules and helps companies recover quickly from unforeseen events. Its aim is to prepare companies and protect them in the event of such an exceptional unforeseen event.
MoreWhat is the difference between PSB and PSCR? Why is PSB no longer enough and what has changed? What training should you undergo?
MoreWith increasing competition in the market, manufacturers must increase the productivity of producing quality products. In today's economy, you are expected to continually improve your return on total capital. Because it is difficult to raise capital to build new, more efficient plants and purchase new equipment, you often have to meet growing production requirements with existing equipment and facilities while reducing costs.

MoreThe revision process of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 is currently underway (the current version was published in 2013).

Such a challenge must bring a great desire to fight the windmills, supported in particular by the strong critical thinking and assertiveness of the German hunting terrier. Why are these qualities good? To be able to say openly what you think and to disrupt the hegemony of the medical caste. It is said that doctors cannot be wrong and do not have to behave empathetically at all. The fact that the mobbing of leading doctors also appeared at this workplace in 2021 may seem like a pure fabrication of an unduly criticized subordinate. Unfortunately, it is a reality.
MoreObtaining an ISO certificate for an entrepreneur or your company is not always an easy task. Anyone who has already gone through this process can confirm that this process can be very laborious and time consuming. After obtaining ISO certification, people tend to take a break from the project and then willy-nilly forget the management system and leave it uninterrupted for several months, approaching the time of the first surveillance audit, which tends to surprise, and the requirements of the so-called standard are then slop-built.
