Quality Policy
IFP Energies nouvelles' quality policy applies to every research and development project we undertake, and to its methods as much as to its targets.
An efficient quality system
All the research, consultancy and expertise activities carried out by IFP Energies nouvelles's three R&D business units met the requirements of international standard ISO 9001:2000. These certifications related to the planning and conduct of all projects in the fields of exploration-production, refining-petrochemicals and powertrain engineering, as well as the activities of the principal associated support functions (skills management, purchasing and IT).
The use of a new IT project portfolio programming and management tool and the support provided to R&D project managers in the adoption of this software have made it possible to make significant improvements in one of the four principal areas of the Quality policy, namely “enhancing efficient project management”. The changes have been perceptible, particularly in terms of project structuring and the characterization of results. There is now a better match between the program and available resources, guaranteeing that deadlines are met and costs controlled.
Testing-facility certification and optimization
We are concurrently optimizing our testing facilities, in particular rolling out Computer-Assisted Maintenance Management (CAMM) applications which will significantly enhance control over metrology and safety as well as maintenance.
We are also rolling out an OHSAS18001-based safety-management system across IFP Energies nouvelles, and our Powertrains operation recently earned ISO14001 environmental-management compliance certification.
