Campus Report :
The American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) was awarded ISO 9001:2008 certificate on Monday by Societe Generale de Surveillance (SGS) – United Kingdom Accreditation Services (UKAS) in a simple ceremony at the auditorium of the university.
After almost a year of preparation and implementation of the 2 stages of auditing process which involve orientation-trainings, review of systems and procedures, documentation, actual audit based on the Quality Manual, and compliance to the recommendations, AIUB became the first university to be awarded by SGS-UKAS the ISO 9001:2008 Certificate with a scope: “Quality Management Operation System for the University”. The event was attended by the Deans, Associate Dean, Program Directors, faculty members, students from four Faculties, the Administrative Officers, the key officers from corporate houses, AQAC members, SGS Team and the Press.
The preparation was tedious as it entails establishing a new system of documentation through codification and development of new systems and procedures.
The eight (8) clauses such as: the scope, references, terms and definitions, quality management system, management responsibility, resource management system, product realization and measurement, analysis and improvement were the guidepost towards reaching the goal of certification.
The ceremony was presided over by the Vice Chancellor of AIUB, Dr Carmen Z Lamagna who received the award from the Managing Director of SGS Bangladesh Ltd., Ariel Miranda. Miranda congratulated AIUB for its exemplary performance in the audits and appreciated the kind support and cooperation of the AIUB management for the successful certification process.
