SILVER WORKSHOP
Context: With the transition from IRIS Rev02 to Rev03 (May 2017 -September 2018) all IRIS certified companies had to start with the Bronze status. However, depending on your company’s strategy, the customer needs, and most important, your company’s own maturity of performance, it can qualify for even higher levels such as SILVER and GOLD. The IRIS group had decided to gradually introduce these requirements in the market to avoid the big RUN ON GOLD. The 3-level approach is not intended as a prestige fight. First and foremost, companies should continuously improve their product quality and -safety as well as process quality, and so, recommend themselves for higher levels. We all are now looking forward to the publication of the conditions for attaining the SILBER level, but in the meantime, we are already preparing for it.
If you understand the IRIS requirements correctly, you will quickly realize that it is not about half-hearted solutions to satisfy the auditors. Your own business benefits must always be in the foreground. Then one understands that the old “silo”-thinking shall be terminated to make room for more customer orientation and team work. The IRIS certificate only marks the goal at annually recurring milestones. If implemented correctly, after years, a cultural change will lead to a true quality culture. These companies that have recognized this, are playing in the Champions League. They are also willing to invest a decent amount in the best coaches because they know that success will pay off. All others will continue climbing up and down in their league and continue complaining about cost and time pressure, “daily fire extinguishing” and margin losses, without ever getting their investment in the IRIS certificate back.
Leader: Andreas Heinzmann, is a founder of the IRIS system and was the first president of the IRIS Group. Under his leadership, the certification system has been developed. Hence, he has been and still is a major contributor to all previous revisions. Among other things, he was also a member of the five-member team of experts, which has worked out the draft of the new ISO/TS 22163 standard. He provides you first-hand information that hardly anyone else could deliver. In addition, he motivates participants to deploy the IRIS requirements by explaining the usefulness and interrelations between the IRIS requirements, and by providing a wealth of context information and practical examples of the rail industry. ….. read more
