Modern process management system
The basis for our management system is Hanwha Qcells’ process landscape. The core business processes are supported by detailed sub-processes and procedural requirements. Processes are further developed and improved based on a plan-do-check-act cycle.
Corporate policy
Our corporate policy takes financial, environmental, quality, and occupational health considerations into account when decisions are made about investments and the introduction of new processes and products.
Further development of our management system
The improvement process integrated into the management system supports the continuous improvement of processes and product quality.
Management and the management systems officer carry out a management system review every business year or when significant changes are made to the management system. Areas for further development are planned and agreed, taking into account the required activities, costs and resources.
A yearly audit programme is used to assess the implementation of company processes and corporate standards. All company departments are subject to an audit every three years, while key departments are audited annually. Responsibility for planning and implementing audits lies with quality management. The management system is monitored across the group of companies using standardised evaluations.
Quality assurance
Hanwha Qcells aims to respond to customer and market requirements. The Quality Management Department’s quality assurance system monitors the quality of our products according to established and documented criteria. A range of instruments is used to measure and monitor product and process quality.
Responsible purchasing
As a globally operating company, Hanwha Qcells works with suppliers worldwide. Corporate responsibility is an important part of the Hanwha Qcells procurement strategy. Suppliers are selected and assessed through an integrated supplier management system. Our supplier code of conduct defines requirements for responsible business practices, and suppliers are expected to comply with these principles. Compliance is assessed as part of our supplier audit processes.
