T1 - Exploring business benefits of internationally recognized certifications - Empirical evidence from a global company survey N2 - We base our paper on data from a global company survey of certified companies carried out by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) in 2010/11. We use multivariate Probit and ordered Probit models to analyze how company internal and external factors influence the perception of benefits from accredited certification. Benefits from accredited certification are divided into added value for the organization, increased sales and regulatory compliance. As for company external factors, we find that benefits from certification are higher for companies that went through a challenging certification process, had a competent certification body team, and are aware of the importance of accreditation. Internal factors are related to different motives for seeking certification. We find that the benefits from accredited certification are largest when companies become certified in order to improve their own business performance. Dividing our sample in high-income and middle income countries shows that the latter put more emphasis on company internal improvement through certification and are more likely to benefit from certification when they employ an external consultant. Finally, we can show that benefits are unequally distributed among companies. That is, smaller companies have a lower probability to benefit from certification compared to larger companies.

Ten European accreditation bodies attended the comparison, four of which had already taken part in the pilot phase of the benchmarking project, which was conducted in 2017 by the German accreditation body Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS) and the BAM. The study, designed to examine and compare the operation of accreditation bodies in Europe, used a management tool called Process Maturity Benchmarking Tool, which was especially elaborated and validated for this purpose in the pilot phase, in order to determine the values of indicators, thus enabling a comparison of the accreditation bodies despite different operational processes and organizational forms. The management tool is based on the analysis of selected processes with high relevance for the operation of accreditation bodies. The processes are derived from a process map designed for accreditation bodies in a universally applicable way. The indicators used to characterize the processes come from two sources: The first source relates to data already available from internal databases, reports, financial audits, and others. The second source is derived from the self-evaluation of process maturity performed by the accreditation bodies. The criteria for evaluating process maturities were designed by applying the criteria of the EFQM excellence model 2013 of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) to the processes identified in the process map. The results of the analysis were presented to and discussed with representatives of the ten accreditation bodies at a Results-Workshop that took place at BAM on 21/22 January 2020. In this presentation a wrap-up of the results was given to the HHC of EA T2 - Tagung des HHC (horizontal harmonization committee) der EA (European co-operation for accreditation) (virtuelles Meeting per MS-Teams, ca. 55 Teilnehmer) CY - Online meeting DA - 15.09.2020 KW - Accreditation KW - Benchmarking PY - 2020 AN - OPUS4-51251 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Denkler, Tilman T1 - Accreditation in Europe: Benchmarking the operations of European accreditation bodies using an innovative management tool N2 - Accreditation is one of the pillars of a national Quality Infrastructure, as the competence of conformity assessment bodies is assured through accreditation performed by accreditation bodies. To compare the operation of accreditation bodies in Europe and to identify best practices, a management tool, the Process Maturity Benchmarking Tool, was developed and validated by applying it to European accreditation bodies. The benchmarking project comprised two major phases: In the first phase, the processes of accreditation bodies were systematically analyzed. A process map was developed, and processes of special relevance were identified and underpinned by indicators. In the second phase, the practical applicability of the theoretical model was demonstrated by analyzing the processes of eight European accreditation bodies. The results of this comparative assessment were subsequently discussed in a workshop with experts from those accreditation bodies, giving the opportunity to identify best practices. This article has a twofold objective. First, to present a method to benchmark European accreditation bodies, based on the European Foundation for Quality Management excellence model. The successful application of the Process Maturity Benchmarking Tool gives evidence that it is a suitable and capable management tool to assess the processes of the European accreditation bodies and to benchmark them. Second, the article presents the results of the first adaption of the Process Maturity Benchmarking Tool. A general trend of process maturity was identified: While processes based on stakeholder involvement tend to have an overall lower maturity on average, internal processes are more mature.

The tool will be used to systematically assess several European accreditation bodies, enabling a comparative analysis to be made. By investigating current practices, the analysis will generate discussion amongst accreditation bodies on how to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operations. Methodology: The tool is based on parameters that enable comparison of various accreditation bodies, despite different operational processes and organizational forms. These parameters will be derived from operational processes with high relevance for accreditation bodies, and mapped to a universal process map which enables comparison between institutions. The processes will be characterized using data from internal databases, reports, financial audits etc., and will be supported by feedback from a qualitative self-evaluation of process maturity, carried out by the accreditation bodies themselves. The criteria for evaluating process maturity are based on those used in the excellence model of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), and are applied to the processes identified in the process map. The tool will be validated through application to various accreditation bodies in Europe. Project outline: The pilot phase of project comprises three stages. In the first stage the processes of accreditation bodies were systematically analyzed through the development of the process map. Nine processes of special relevance are identified and underpinned by indicators as described above. In the second step the tool was applied to the German accreditation body, DAkkS, in order to check and modify the indicators. The third stage will verify the transferability of the model by extending analysis to selected European accreditation bodies, again refining and optimizing the tool based on this analysis. Finally, after successful conduction of the pilot phase it is planned to extend the analysis to other European accreditation bodies interested in participation in 2018.

These parameters will be derived from operational processes with high relevance for accreditation bodies, and mapped to a universal process map which enables comparison between institutions. The processes will be characterized using data from internal databases, reports, financial audits etc., and will be supported by feedback from a qualitative self-evaluation of process maturity, carried out by the accreditation bodies themselves. The criteria for evaluating process maturity are based on those used in the excellence model of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), and are applied to the processes identified in the process map. The tool will be validated through application to various accreditation bodies in Europe. Project outline: The pilot phase of project comprises three stages. In the first stage the processes of accreditation bodies were systematically analyzed through the development of the process map. Nine processes of special relevance are identified and underpinned by indicators as described above. In the second step the tool was applied to the German accreditation body, DAkkS, in order to check and modify the indicators. The third stage will verify the transferability of the model by extending analysis to selected European accreditation bodies, again refining and optimizing the tool based on this analysis. Finally, after successful conduction of the pilot phase it is planned to extend the analysis to other European accreditation bodies interested in participation in 2018.

A management tool, the Process Maturity Benchmarking Tool (PMBT), was elaborated and validated by applying it to various accreditation bodies. By applying the tool, the values of indicators were determined, thus enabling a comparison of the accreditation bodies despite different operational processes and organizational forms. The management tool PMBT is based on the analysis of selected processes with high relevance for the operation of accreditation bodies. The processes are derived from a process map designed for accreditation bodies in a universally applicable way. The indicators used to characterize the processes come from two sources: The first source relates to data already available from internal databases, reports, financial audits etc. The second source is derived from a self-evaluation of process maturity performed by the accreditation bodies. The criteria for evaluating process maturity were designed by applying the criteria of the EFQM excellence model 2013 of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) to the processes identified in the process map. The project Comparison of the Operation of Accreditation Bodies in Europe comprised three stages. In the first stage, the processes of accreditation bodies were systematically analyzed. A process map was developed and processes of special relevance for the performance of accreditation bodies were identified and underpinned by indicators as described above. In the second stage, the processes of the German accreditation body DAkkS were assigned to the tool. This stage was used to check and modify the indicators when necessary. In the third stage, the transferability of the model was analyzed by extension to seven other accreditation bodies operating in Europe. The third stage of the project ended with a workshop attended by the eight accreditation bodies, which was used to present and discuss the results of the comparison and to identify best practices.

In contrast to the 1st round, the BAM will conduct this benchmarking solely without the DAkkS as partner. The 2nd round will make use of the Process Maturity Benchmarking Tool PMBT, the management tool which was developed for and applied in the 1st round. The PMBT will be optimized in advance based on the suggestions and experiences gathered in the benchmarking conducted in 2016. To discuss this adjustment a preparation meeting was conducted in the course of the EA GA in Rome.
