“Quality has to be Caused, not Controlled!” Philip Crosby

Most organizations have bookshelves of manuals and procedures that were written with good intentions but never really put into practice. A good manager must constantly monitor activities, no matter how much they are documented, to make sure they are executed properly.

These checklists contain fundamental questions that were developed by the founder of C.A. Services, Allen Helms, C.P.M., C.B.M. over his career in the Materials Management and Project Management profession. They are based on sound business practices from experiences with both large international companies and small individually owned companies.

These checklists include many questions about many activities that must be addressed in order to ensure success. Read them over, decide which ones apply to your situation and address accordingly.

Starting with basic and proven fundamental necessities ready to be modified to fit the task at hand is the easiest, most efficient solution to save time and ensure success.
