In 1998, Laboratorio de análisis Dr. Echevarne was certified compliance with GLP's and EN ISO 9001:1994. Since then, the laboratory has offered its customers a service based on quality management. Nowadays, the complience with society and customer driven quality standards has generated a change in the managerial style. A Quality Management System is crucial to improve performance beyond the aims attained so far. The operational platform in which this system stands is Process management, based on a dynamic cycle which includes planning-doing-verifying-acting, and a Customer satisfaction oriented approach, which enables us to ascertain whether the service provided satisfies, and to what extent, the customer's requirements. This new approach makes it possible from the Quality Management to provide the board of directors with the information needed to establish a solid base that considers the needs and interests of the different organisations and customers.
