Leading in Baseline measurements for quality systems
Baseline measurement for quality systems
Looking to strengthen your organisation's quality system or gain a clearer view of your current operations? We support this by conducting a comprehensive baseline assessment, designed to provide an objective overview of your current structure and practices. Based on the results, we offer tailored recommendations and actionable steps for improvement.
This assessment can cover your entire quality management system — such as through an internal audit — or be focused on specific processes or departments, depending on your needs. We work closely with you to ensure the approach aligns with your goals and delivers tangible value.

By performing a baseline measurement, you gain insight into the inefficiencies within your organisation. It also provides input for the executive and management team and the business plan. A baseline measurement thus helps to improve your business activities.
Having a baseline measurement carried out
A baseline measurement always starts with establishing a starting point, which raises questions that need to be answered. By asking the right questions, a baseline measurement does not have to take long. At the end of a baseline measurement, you will receive a report on the findings. In this report, we set out a timeline for realising a more pragmatic and efficient system.
Reasons for a baseline measurement
There might be several reasons to have a baseline measurement carried out.
Examples of reasons are:
Mapping what still needs to be done to move to a different quality system
Providing insight into what is already there and what needs to change to achieve your business goals/ambitions
Mapping the current status in the field of food safety (HACCP), Food defence (TACCP) and/or food fraud (VACCP)
Gaining insight into the strengths and weaknesses within your organisation and taking them into account during the process
Mapping which action points there are, which action points take more or less time and which action points have higher priorities within your company (business planning)
Gaining insight into the current corporate culture
Gaining insight into the current company structure
The better the cause can be defined, the more targeted we can be in our baseline measurement — and the better we can develop a plan of action.
