\nQuality Initiatives in SEDC Sarawak started when the organization
\nembarked on its Quality journey in the early 90\u2019s with the launching of
\nTotal Quality Management (TQM) in year 2002.
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\nThe emphasis by the government on Quality Control Circle (QCC) had led
\nto the formation of KMK (Operation Eagle) in 1993 and hence the
\nformation of the then Accountability Sector (now Quality Management
\nDivision) further strengthened the Quality drives in the organization.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\nTo further strengthen the Quality drives in SEDC,the SEDC management
\nhad established a Quality Council (QC) in the year 2002 to oversee the
\norganization of Quality related activities.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\nIt has a strong support by the SEDC Chairman himself as the Advisor and
\nheaded by the General Manager with all Divisional Directors as the
\nCouncil members.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\nIn implementing the Quality initiatives, the main challenges such as
\nlack of awareness, inadequate knowledge and skill in implementing
\nQuality initiatives and getting full commitment of staff to drive the
\nQuality programmes are amongst the key issues faced.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\nSEDC then overcame these problems through:-<\/font><\/div>\n
    \n
  • Proper Quality Council Structure which
    \nclearly chart the Quality direction, policies, strategies, objectives
    \nand at the same time monitoring the Quality initiatives to ensure
    \nsustainability and resolving issues, <\/font>\n<\/li>\n
  • A series of training and promotion when necessary, <\/font>\n<\/li>\n
  • Incentives system to motivate staff and
    \nrecognize their effort and commitment in supporting and implementing
    \nQuality activities, <\/font>\n<\/li>\n
  • Systematic coordinating mechanism \u2013annual calendarise activity, <\/font>\n<\/li>\n
  • Top management;s commitment \u2013Leading by Example<\/font><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
