11.1. Quality assurance | |||
The ISO 9001 compliant quality management system is being introduced at the State Statistics Committee (SSC). The external audit in 2013 resulted in the consequent certification of the system under the ISO 9001:2008 international standard, covering production and dissemination of official statistics, in August of the same year. Following changes to ISO 9001:2008 in 2015, all documentation underwent redesigning under the requirements of the ISO 9001:2015 international standard. The Committee’s compliance with that standard was subjected to external (certification) audit on the 9th and 10th of March 2017, accompanied by the consequent certification of the system under the ISO 9001:2015 international standard, covering production and dissemination of official statistics (https://www.stat.gov.az/menu/2/quality/en/certificate_2015.pdf). The Generic Statistical Business Processes Model (GSBPM) has been operational since 2012 to standardize statistical production. The GSBPM functionality, customized for national requirements, proved to be a response to the needs for the management of statistical processes concerning population estimate The staff of the structural units of SSC headquarters and local statistics authorities attend workshops on quality management system (QMS) no less than once a year. In 2010 and 2017, Eurostat (statistical office of the European Union), UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe), and EFTA (European Free Trade Association) conducted the Global Assessment of the National Statistical System of the Republic of Azerbaijan, with follow-up activities carried out in response to expert recommendations on system improvements. |
|||
11.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
Internal audit is carried out in all departments under the annually approved audit program. Audit teams are set up to conduct audits, with each department covered by an individual audit plan. In the State Statistics Committee, internal monitoring of quality properties is a centralized function performed by an authorized structural unit (Quality management and metadata); an integrated (generic) analysis of the audit findings is then annually submitted to the SCC leadership. Before any audit, members of the audit team (auditors) are trained by the principal auditor and at the corresponding workshops no less than once a year. As regards the activity of the State Statistics Committee, compliance with ISO 9001:2015 (Quality management systems – Requirements) international standard is a strong point. On the contrary, the unfinished transition to e-documentation and parallel paperwork activities could give rise to weak points, precisely an increased workload or slow adaptation to the requirements of new standards. |
