 Quality system

The TALN group is committed to quality. We aim to be a group that companies can rely on. Even if a scientific group is not managed as a factory, it must ensure high quality output in order to be able to be at the cutting edge of research and technology development and  continue growing.

The quality documentation is divided into different parts, the ISO9001 documentation includes all the procedures and metrics needed to analyse, plan, implement and evaluate the group activity.  But then the day to day implementation of what has been designed is displayed in different parts: each project will hold its own data ( but as specified in the norm),  the training will be based on what has been designed, etc. Wiki links will allow to have everything in different places but connected when needed.
