Managing outsourcing with the QLM model
Outsourcing is a hot topic. Unfortunately it often does not result in meeting the goals or expectations in terms of budget and deadlines, nor in terms of quality. Existing challenges in managing quality become more challenging in case of outsourcing. There are numerous solutions already widely available for both managing quality and managing outsourcing relationships. Until now there was not one universal framework to approach these challenges and solutions. Improve Quality Services has addressed these solutions in a new practical model: the Quality Level Management-model.

How do you manage the quality of your outsourcing?
There are numerous solutions already widely available for both managing quality and managing outsourcing relationships. Until now there was not one universal framework to approach these challenges and solutions. Improve Quality Services has addressed these solutions in a new practical model: the Quality Level Management-model.
The QLM-model helps to determine a balanced outsourcing strategy that focuses on meeting goals and expectations in terms of time, budget and quality. A balanced strategy uses a selection of measures out of the nine areas of attention in the QLM-model.
It is an accessible model that can be used by both customers and suppliers.
