INSAFORP SUPPORTS IMPLEMENTATION OF ISO 9000

 

With a view to making enterprises operating in El Salvador more competitive, the Salvadorian Vocational Training Institute (INSAFORP) is lending support to the programme "System for Quality Management and Implementation in Industrial, Commercial and Service Activities" that was launched last year.

The Programme consists of applying the ISO 9000 standard to participating companies, that are INGENIO LA CABAÑA, CAJAS Y BOLSAS, CAJAS PLEGADIZAS, SABESA, MELHER, PLANTOSA, PASTIMET, PROTECNO, TALLERES SARTI and FRANCISCO GAVIDIA UNIVERSITY, in which a total of 1225 persons are beneficiaries, including Managers, Middle Managers and Operatives.

The project comprises 5877 hours' training spread over three stages (Induction to Quality System, Quality System Design, and Training for System Implementation) which are expected to conclude by November this year. INSAFORP is covering 70 per cent of the total cost of this Programme.

This training will enable participating companies to introduce changes in their organisational structure, increase their exports, modify or redistribute new productive processes, find openings in new markets, generate new products, etc.

All beneficiary enterprises are undergoing certification processes with international organisations.
