System Terminology: Quality Management
Terminology plays an extremely important role in any type of organization or business. However, in the field of quality management, the terminology, or more specifically the system terminology, is that more important. This is because quality management is such a complex field, and therefore consists of much more system terminology in comparison to some other management systems. This is clear when trying to define and understand the quality management system terminology.
Below are some system terminology regarding quality management being used:
• Product
A product is an executed work, a design, or a service. It can even be a combination of the three.
• Design review
The assessment of the design requirements are done by the design review. Phases such as the design brief, basic engineering, and conceptual design is covered by this detailed verification.
• Quality assurance
This means ensuring that the company’s quality objectives are fulfilled with a reasonable amount of certainty.
• Concession
Some products and materials being used do not conform to specified requirements. A concession is a written statement that allows the use of these products and materials.
• Specification
The measurable characteristics of products are contained by their specifications.
Thus, the value of these and other system terminology must not be underestimated, as the role it plays within quality management is of great importance.

What is a Mine Health and Safety Management System?
The implementation of a mine health and safety management system promotes a safe and healthy working environment in mines. A mine health and safety management system can thus be described as a process that you as employer put in place to minimize the occurrence of illness and injury in the workplace (mine). The implementation of a mine health and safety management system is done through the assessment and identification of mining hazards.
Risk control in all mining operations can then also take place. It is important to note that the scope and complexity of an occupational health and safety management system varies depending on the nature of mining activities performed, as well as the type of mine (shaft or open-pit) it is being performed in. The spectrum of staff-related risks in the mine is also managed well. This will enable your mine to have control over insurance costs and most likely lead to an increase in performance from its existing operations.
