Lakshy Celebrates Earth Day – A Green Initiative

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment. Responding to widespread environmental degradation, it was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in held on April 22, 1970 and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year.

Environmental degradation is a result of the unsustainable and uncontrolled consumption patterns of robust urbanization & industrialization, dynamic inter play of socio-economic, institutional and technological activities. Environmental changes are driven by many factors including economic growth, population growth, urbanization, intensification of agriculture, rising energy use and transportation.

This rampant growth-oriented economic development across the decades has now brought a global challenge in front of mankind – a concern for the environment.

Earth Day 2010 can be a turning point to advance towards sustainable development, climate policy, energy efficiency and renewable energy. Earth Day Network is galvanizing millions of organizations who make personal commitments to environmental sustainability.

As a result, many organizations are now turning to the approach of developing an environmental management system (EMS) with the goal of attaining certification to the recently established International Standard – ISO 14001. The establishment of an EMS (that lies at the core of ISO 14001) is seen as a tool for planning and allocating the resources to implement and deliver services so that they address environmental priorities.

Environmental management system (EMS) refers to the management of an organisation’s environmental programs in a comprehensive, systematic, planned and documented manner. It includes the organizational structure, planning and resources for developing, implementing and maintaining policy for environmental protection. Environmental protection should become one of the highest priorities for all corporations demonstrated by the creation of policies, programmes, procedures and practices for achieving environmentally sound operations.

So on Earth Day, based on the idea of “Think Globally Act Locally”, Lakshy Management Consultant Pvt. Ltd. being a socially and environmentally aware organization join hands with millions of green youth across the globe for environmental protection.

As a “green initiative” Lakshy offered free online consulting for ISO 14001 Environment Management System on 22nd April 2010 to propagate environmental awareness and ideas for protecting the environment. On this occasion consultants at Lakshy organised “free ISO 14001 EMS consulting hour” and environmental awareness camps and highlighted the implementation procedures and benefits of implementing ISO 14001 in an organization for improving their environmental performance. Number of small and medium scale organizations came forward and participated in the event “free ISO 14001 EMS consulting hour” and felt motivated and responsible towards the environment they work-in.

Thus the “Green Initiative” started by Lakshy Management Consultant Pvt. Ltd. was a grand green success.

Deming’s Circle – Continual Improvement

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Deming’s Circle – Continual Improvement

ISO 14001 is based on methodology known as PDCA. W. Edwards Deming is known for his introduction of statistical quality control in the military and Japanese industries. His model was initially derived for quality control, quality assurance and continual improvement.

The Circle or wheel applies to all areas where continual improvement is required.

Deming’s circle describes four activities (PDCA):

Plan –
Establish goals, standardize working processes and train employees to deliver results in accordance with organization’s environmental policy.
Do –
Carry out the work according to the plan.
Check –
Verify compliance with environmental policy, goals, legal and other requirements and report the results.
Act –
Take actions to continually improve performance of the EMS.

What is ISO 14001?

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

What is ISO 14001?

The International Organization of Standardization, (ISO) is a worldwide organization that develops many different kinds of Standards – not just quality standards. ISO 14000 is a series of documents relating to the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS).

ISO 14001 is the document which defines the requirements for the EMS and provides guidance for its use. ISO 14001 specifies the requirements of an environmental management system (EMS) for small to large organizations. An EMS is a systemic approach to handling environmental issues within an organization. The ISO 14001 standard is based on the Plan-Check-Do-Review-Improve cycle of ISO 9001 – even though it is not a Quality Management System.

To learn more we recommend this free tutorial “The Basics of ISO 14001?”

How does ISO 14001 relate to ISO 9001?

ISO 9001 is a Quality Management System (QMS) which similarly gives organizations a systematic approach for meeting customer objectives (providing consistent quality). An important difference between ISO 14001 and other ISO standard is that it describes the requirements for an environmental management system that can be used for the registration of the management system and / or for the self-declaration of compliance by an organization.

What is an Environmental Management System (EMS)?

An EMS gives an organization a systematic approach for managing their environmental impact (the consequences of their operations). The objective is for ISO 14001 to control environmental impact of the organization’s actions and continually increase the environmental performance as measured against objectives.

Why do companies want to pursue ISO 14001?
Fundamentally, it is everyone’s job to protect the environment by preventing pollution and continually improving the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the earth we inhabit. But there are several specific reasons for implementing an EMS:

It’s the right thing to do
Organizations are becoming increasingly concerned in achieving sound environmental performance to demonstrate that you are a “Good Corporate Citizen”.
• Improved environmental performance—protect the environment
• Improved customer trust and satisfaction by conforming to ISO 14001 International Standards
• Improved public image and community relations—recognized for achieving certification
• Fewer accidents due to properly handled dangers

Reduced Liability
• Improved compliance with environmental regulations—Federal (EPA), State (State environmental agency), and Local (permits)
• Increased employee involvement—implementing ISO 14001 is perceived as “the right thing to do”
• Reduced liability and risk exposure by ensuring an environmentally safe system

Market Pressure
Many organizations decide to Implement ISO 14001 and obtain registration because it assures customers, shareholders, suppliers, regulators and the community at large that the company has a good Environmental Management System (EMS) in place. An organization with an effective EMS will typically meet customer expectations and comply with regulations better than an organization that does not have an effective EMS. Many organizations require their suppliers to have ISO 14001 Registration
• Gain competitive advantage—use environmental improvements to enhance marketing efforts

Cost Savings:
Implementing ISO 14001 often delivers cost savings:
• Reduced costs by avoiding excessive waste and associated costs
• Reduced materials and energy usage
• Increased efficiency by improving and standardizing environmental related processes

Is it right for our organization?
We’ve now given you a brief overview of ISO 14001, the Environmental Standard rooted in ISO 9001 Quality Standard. Only you can decide if it is right for your organization, but it’s certainly the right thing to do for our planet.

How to prepare quality objectives for ISO 9001 certificateion

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Quality objectives are very important part of the entire ISO 9001 certification process. The organization needs to prepare a quality policy. this quality policy is like long term goal / vision / mission of the organization. In order to reach there, the organization needs to show improvement in it’s various processes or departments.

So first thing you need to do is identify departments or processes in the organization. Then for each of the processes ask a simple question…”What all needs improvement in this process..?” you will get a lot of answers. For all these answers then analyse whether you can put any timeframe and put a measurable criteria for them..if you can then they qualify for a valid quality objective.

So any quality objective you finalize, needs to be Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Realistic & Time bound. Most important is the objective you finalize needs to be measureable and timebound. Because in Quality language, if you can not measure something, you can never improve it.

Once you finalize quality objectives, circulate it within your department and take everybody’s go ahead for this objective. Once ok from all, share it with MR and top management.

After objective has been established with due approvals from the respective authorities, you need to have objective acievement plan for each of the objectives and then you need to regularly track the objectives.

The objectives needs to be discussed in each of the management review meetings with supporting data and can be changed, revised or amended any point of time depending on circumstances.

For me, Quality objectives are the most important tool that an organization can have to create an organization wherein all the employees are working with a clear goal.
