The reason for introducing this system was to make more simple and to control the working processes and documentation; to better define responsibilities and mutual relations, as well as to raise the level of consciousness and relation towards work and to provide the necessary level of safety of navigation to the satisfaction of seamen and shipowners who usually use the mentioned services.
The Quality Control System is described in Quality Control Operating Procedures and the aims of Plovput’s quality control and the way of their realisation are described in Policy of quality.

In Operating Procedures processes which are indispensable for the functioning of Quality control system are described, as well as the way in which they are controlled, the criteria needed to assure effective functioning, ways of measurement and working processes and products’ analysis; carrying out of activities which assure the realisation of set goals and a constant improvement of the System.
