Purpose – This theoretical study develops practical recommendations for implementing a quality management system (QMS) in Kazakh organizations to ensure the effectiveness and safety of products and services. We discuss the improvement of Kazakhstan's quality standards based on the requirements of ISO 9000.
Research design, data, and methodology – We provide methods for improving the quality standards system, ranging from research and development to the sale of products. We also propose to establish a special quality systems award to motivate enterprises toward product quality improvement. The study's methodological basis included Kazakhstan’s legislative and regulatory Acts, and international and national standards defining QMS requirements for scientists worldwide to develop and implement a QMS for enterprises.
Results – Aligning the QMS reduces Kazakh companies’ costs for the detection and correction of defects, and the external and internal loss caused by the defects. Effective QMS also reduces management costs.
Conclusion – This article can help increase the transparency of organizations for their leaders and (if necessary) the external environment, and improve the accuracy, quality, and timeliness of decision-making.
