TL 9000 Certification
 BIZPHYX led the implementation project for the following client whose recent testimonial about the benefits of TL 9000
was featured
in QuEST Forum publications:


Cindy Kazee, President  

 

Universal Network Development Corp 

 

"For UNDC, the value of

 TL 9000 certification reaches far beyond meeting a customer requirement.  

 

Implementing a quality improvement process gave my company the structure we needed to prepare for growth.  It gave me a way to measure customer satisfaction and service performance in hard numbers.

 

The fact that we are continually polling our customers and asking for way to improve services sends a clear message that meeting and exceeding their expectations is a high priority"

 

 

This testimonial demonstrates the power of certifying to TL 9000 and ISO 9001.

When clients are making the decision to certify to TL 9000, a question we are often asked is if certification will make their company stronger and help to reduce the cost of poor quality.  The answer is a resounding "yes".  To back-up claims about TL 9000 and TL 9000 certified companies; QuEST Forum publishes a number of reports regarding measures in different categories.   

 

Has TL 9000 improved telecommunications industry quality?  That would also be a resounding "yes" and the numbers simply don't lie.  We have all of the recent reports posted on our Knowledge Base and this was the subject of a recent post on our support desk.

  

If you need case statements to help support your claims about TL 9000 in an RFP for new business or if you simply want to review these stats as you prepare to make the financial investment to certify a new division of your organization, take advantage of these reportsFor example, did you know that five categories experienced major delivery performance improvement?  The overall variability across categories reduced from (31% - 98%) to (72% - 99%) and the Worst In Class delivery performance improved on average from 30% to 54%.  This supporting data can be found in the On Time Delivery (OTD) Study. 

 

The Hardware Return Rates (FR) Wireless Network Infrastructure Study, the Number of Problem Reports (NPR) and the Timeliness of Fix Delivery Study and the OTD (On Time Delivery) Study can be accessed at the BIZPHYX Knowledge Base.

 

Use your data in RFPs to show clients the benefits you bring as a TL 9000 supplier!  TL 9000 is making a difference in communication's quality.

ISO 14001 and Corporate Sustainability:  TL 9000's Alignment With ISO 14001   
ISO 14001

ISO 14001: The EMS



Just as TL 9000 requires an organization to determine critical procedures related to providing their product or service, ISO 14001 requires identification and documentation of areas where the product or service may impact the environment.  What encompasses an environmental management system is how these aspects are managed, once they are identified.  

 

Incorporating ISO 14001 into an existing TL 9000 structure begins with an understanding of the unique environmental aspects for an organization.

In his edition of THE STANDARD, we are featuring a great article on TL 9000's alignment with ISO 14001.  This article will provide insight on how this alignment reaches beyond documented procedures and management reviews.  Committing to both quality of product and service delivery and environmental improvement will have a positive impact on your long-term corporate sustainability.  If you are considering expanding your current quality system to include environmental aspects, this is worth the readAccess the article here >
