Quality in the Public Sector Sample Clauses

Quality in the Public Sector. Profit and non-profit organisations are leading the implementation of quality management and excellence in Lebanon, while the public sector is lagging behind. Currently, there are only two public sector organisations with a certified quality management system according to the ISO 9001:2000 standard (the Quality Unit and the national standards body, LIBNOR). Yet at many levels there are continuous interactions between the different sectors. If the profit and non-profit sectors keep the pace of development, the gap with the public sector will widen. An underperforming public sector could eventually become a negative factor in economic development. Therefore, an effort should be made to introduce quality management in the public sector as a means to improve the provision of services through a small number of pilot projects. This will allow the upgrading of quality service in the selected public sector entities and will help in creating the momentum for adoption of QMS in other public sector administrations and institutes.
