Company Overview:
KhaLuKhwe Quality Assurance (QA) Services was established to make Quality Assurance and/or Environmental Management more accessible to small, medium and large enterprises that simply do not have the capacity to have in-house quality management, food safety management and/or environmental management departments but recognize their importance in ensuring excellence of products and services in their businesses for their success. This, in turn, will inevitably help to ensure success in their industries using Quality Management Systems (QMS – ISO 9001:2015), Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS – ISO 22 000/FSSC 22 000:2018), and/or Environmental Management Systems (EMS- ISO 14001:2015). KhaLuKhwe QA Services’ main objective then is to help companies (in food & non-food industries, private and public sectors) with their QMS, FSMS and EMS, either to develop and/or set it up or to maintain and/or to continually improve it.
This company is registered with CIPC (at DTI) as the BBBEE level one contributor (with 135% procurement recognition), 67% black female owned, and 33% youth with only black owners (proof of this is available upon request).

Benefits of the QMS, FSMS and EMS are:
An organisation needs QMS, FSMS, and/or EMS, amongst other reasons, to ensure that quality coming out of the company’s processes is consistent and meet the needs of the customers as well as to continually enhance QMS, FSMS, and/or EMS. Furthermore:
1) Organisations depend on their customers (and other interested parties like shareholders (return on investment), suppliers (business continuity), society (social accountability and responsible behaviour towards the care of the environment), as well as employees (personal development)) for their survival so the quality of the products/services offered by these organisations ought to be satisfactory (customer focus).
2) All people are the essence of the organisation, so their involvement enables using their abilities to benefit the organisation. All employees ought to understand how their roles contribute to the vision, mission and values of the organisation. There should be consistency on how jobs are done across the organisation.
3) Leadership provides unity of purpose, direction the organisation takes and internal environment to provide work environment for the output (process effectiveness).
4) A desired result is achieved more efficiently when activities and related resources are managed as a process (process efficiency).
5) QMS, FSMS and/or EMS ensure that the processes (strategic, tactical and operations) function in a seamless fashion with everybody’s commitment, alignment and buy-in.
6) Continual improvement must be a permanent objective of the organisation.
7) Effective decisions are based on the analysis of data and information (factual information only).
8) An organisation and its suppliers are interdependent; a mutually beneficial relationship enhances the ability of both to create value (in other words, customer-supplier dependability).
9) Through EMS implementation, prevent or mitigate adverse environmental impacts, in this way protect the environment, and therefore contribute to sustainable development.
10) Aid the organisation in fulfilment of its environmental compliance obligations; enhance its environmental performance, as well as communicating environmental information to relevant stakeholders.
11) Assist the organisation in achieving its financial and operational advantages that can result from implementing environmentally sound alternatives that strengthen the organisation’s market position.
