Committed to introducing the concept of ISO to all lab staff members, the Computer Science Faculty at Universitas Dian Nuswantoro (Udinus) hosted a training program entitled Awareness Training of Risk Management and Quality System Management Based on ISO 9001:2015.’ The event was participated by the leader and coordinator of the lab staff in the Computer Science Faculty, with the conference room on the first floor of the H building being the venue.

The training program, hosted on October 31st, 2022, aimed to improve the quality of all computer labs at Udinus. On that occasion, all 26 participants were taught the concept of ISO in great detail. Those 26 participants mainly consisted of the head of the lab staff, the coordinator, the Vice Dean of the Computer Science Faculty, and the whole lab staff. At the training program, the learning materials were presented by the ISO consultant team from Yura Prima Solusindo. 

Budi Harjo, M.Kom., the Head of the Computer Lab Staff, stated that the training program sought to push the computer lab to be ISO 9001:2015 certified. This certification served as a quality management standard issued by the International Organization for Standardization. Through this training program, the participants were taught several conditions for a quality management system to be established. 

“At the training program, we learned the scope, normative reference, and the term of the quality system management itself. Additionally, we also learned about organization context, leadership, and planning,” he revealed.

Furthermore, Budi added that there were supporting materials consisting of work operational and evaluation. He revealed that one of the most important conditions the lab had to meet was being able to fulfill students’ needs consistently. Another condition was that the lab staff must be prepared for the worst scenario to happen within the computer lab so the learning quality would not undergo a decline. 

“Hopefully, the whole computer lab staff can understand the concept of ISO 9001:2015. Thus, implementing it in the business service process in all computer labs at Udinus will be possible,” he added. 

The event ran well, with participants enthusiastically asking questions to all of the speakers presenting the learning materials. 

Meanwhile, Affandy, M.Kom., Ph.D., the Vice Dean I of the Computer Science Faculty, hoped for the whole computer lab staff to utilize this opportunity to its maximum extent. He uttered that the staff had to understand all the conditions for the lab to be ISO-certified.’

“This is a step for our faculty to keep enhancing the quality of our facilities. Thus, the quality of our students will eventually improve consistently as the era of technological advancement moves along,” he concluded. (Humas Udinus/Haris. Foto: Humas Udinus)
