Factors Influencing Industrialisation in Southern Africa | Chapter 2 | Business, Management and Economics: Research Progress Vol. 9

Integrating standards, quality, accreditation, and metrology in industrialisation in Southern Africa has significant implications for the region. This ensures that Southern African industries can meet international standards and compete effectively in regional and global markets. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in the region’s overall economic development and growth by improving productivity and cost-effectiveness, reducing waste and errors, and providing a framework for continuous industry improvement and innovation. Metrology, as the science of measurement, is fundamental to this integration and ensures the accuracy and reliability of measurements used in industrial processes.

Minimum Quality Standards in Social Services for the Elderly | Chapter 9 | Research Aspects in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 2

 The paper lists the requirements for quality that social services for the elderly must meet and demonstrates how to put those requirements into practise. The report also provides an illustration of how to assess the standard of senior social services. The data collecting sheet, the document matrix, and the inventory of documents were the key tools we employed in our qualitative data analysis technique. The traditional stages of content analysis were as follows: inventorying standards, indicators, procedures, and tools; standardising the data present in the aforementioned quality standards; classifying into analysis units; identifying the main categories of analysis; coding; and concluding data analysis. The investigation revealed three kinds of information: the roles played by elderly people in the safety net, the elderly living in institutions' relationship systems, and the elderly living in institutions' social integration. The paper's principal conclusion emphasises how critical it is to give social workers intervention tools and procedures that take into account the features revealed by the examination of the quality management system.

Standards, Procedures and Indicators in the Functioning of Social Services for the Elderly| Chapter 9 | Research Developments in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 3

The article includes an example of assessing the quality of social services for the elderly as well as an examination of the idea of the old as represented in the social work system's quality management documents. The analysis process followed the traditional steps of content analysis: inventory of standards, indicators, procedures, and tools; standardisation of the information contained in the aforementioned quality standards, classification into units of analysis, establishment of the main categories of analysis, coding, and final data analysis. The investigation yielded three kinds of information: senior citizens in specialised roles, the aged in relational systems, and the elderly in integration dynamics. The paper's principal conclusion emphasised the significance of creating intervention approaches and tools for social workers in tandem with the dimensions derived from the quality management system analysis.
