Quality assurance - the key to the future

Abstract

Quality assurance seeks to achieve diligence and attention to detail, which can have substantial effects including reduced costs and improved performance, as well as greater customer satisfaction. British Coal has a policy of quality assurance to BS5750 at all collieries and despatch points, to help maintain its competitive position, to respond to customer requirements, and to continue the drive for reduced costs. A pilot exercise was undertaken at Maltby and Kellingley collieries, and at Oxcroft and Gwaun-cae-Gurwen opencast despatch points, in order to gain sufficient experience to allow rapid implementation of quality assurance at all sites.
