BOI awarded ISO certification
The Board of Investment of Sri Lanka was awarded the ISO 9001:2000
international Standard Based Quality Management Status in May 2009,
covering the full operation of the organization.
The ISO 9001:2000 certification applies to the BOI Head office and
all the Export Processing Zones and Industrial Parks.
This prestigious award means that the BOI is now the first public
sector Institution to achieve ISO 9001:2000 international Standard Based
Quality Management Status for the full operation in this sector. Quality
Management System was developed within the organization in two stages,
ie. initially at the BOI Head Office, Katunayake and Biyagama Zone
offices and later the program was extended to cover all other Export
Processing Zones & Industrial Parks.
The developed system is highly customer oriented, transparent and
flexible. With this Quality Management System, identification of
bottlenecks and streamlining processes will be easier. It will create an
objective-oriented and consistent environment and mostly focus on
quantifiable results.
Also with the implementation of the system, the operations of the
organization has been accelerated remarkably in the achievement of its
strategic direction components ie. Vision, Mission and objectives, by
establishing and monitoring of a measurement orientation culture within
the organization.
