Assurance Certification An initiative designed to provide product and supplier assurance for safety or operationally critical materials and services associated with traction & rolling stock maintenance and overhaul, infrastructure construction and maintenance projects. As is to be expected from the highest level of supplier assurance schemes, the process for Assurance Certification requires commitment and careful preparation. It places emphasis on technical competence together with management of business systems, product risk and procurement and contract management. The QSS Group Limited (QSS) uses its vast knowledge and experience of railway industry suppliers to ensure that Assurance Certification is delivered effectively and with significant value added for its customers. Companies will benefit from an in-depth assessment of their business which will be described and analysed in a business report that incorporates gap analysis, system and process review that can be used for strategic as well as short term improvement programmes. QSS has created a suite of documentation to support customers approaching Assurance Certification. These documents are provided to our customers and enhanced through face to face briefings, thereby ensuring that we can give the very best guidance and advice to facilitate their successful Assurance Certification. Benefits delivered include:
Report Output The report produced will contain a description of your business operations for the product/services under review. Strengths and weaknesses will be identified with the application of processes and procedures and where appropriate, aligned with mandatory, business or project specific requirements. Good practice will be highlighted and recommendations will be made for improvement areas.
The report will be a foundation for business improvement and may be easily incorporated into your business strategy – demonstrating key elements for the ‘Continual Improvement of the Organisation’.
