More than 100 professionals from the sector across the region, as well as from Mexico, the United States, and Canada, participated on May 7 in a new edition of the series of talks for sharing best practices in Upstream.

On this occasion, the technical webinar was led by member company Tecpetrol and focused on: Quality Management: Implement, Certify, Win – The Path to Operational Excellence.

The presentation was given by Fausto Eduardo González Ruiz, Quality Manager at Tecpetrol, and was moderated by Pablo Amoedo, coordinator of the Exploration and Production Committee at Arpel.

The objective of the webinar was to share the process, benefits, lessons learned, and challenges of implementing a certified management system in an industrial plant, demonstrating how this quality management approach contributes to operational excellence and alignment with the business's strategic objectives.

During the talk, the importance of the common structure of ISO standards, based on the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycle, was highlighted. This facilitates the integration of management systems and promotes the active participation of all personnel, including contractors.

Senior management commitment, analysis of the organizational context, ongoing training, and monitoring of indicators are essential elements for the success of a management system.
