Conference 2006

Qualiti-ES, the pursuit of quality in social economy

What is quality management in the social economy? What is its importance? What is particular to quality management when applied in the social economy? What is happening in the different European countries? The term quality and quality management covers a broad range of domains. Is our product good? What is the effect of our production on the environment? Our employees, are they satisfied and motivated? Do we have a professional overall management? Measuring and continuously improving quality is key to the future of the social economy sector. Transparency and communication on the value added of the sector helps to differentiate from the mere market economy.

Motivated by these considerations RREUSE made an inventory of the quality systems in use with its members and has published a manual on the subject. You find these publications under 'products'. A conference took place on November 24th 2006. In the morning four different quality management systems were presented and in the afternoon interactive workshops took place. The presentations of the conference are hereby available.
