The Reasons for the Increase in Self-Organization in Companies

Abstract

Self-organization is an important factor in the processes of quality management systems. The advantage of self-organization processes is that these processes have a certain stability and adaptability to the environment. The knowledge of fundamental regularities of self-organization allows the designing of active artificial environments, activities of which can result in the formation of desired structures. For example, changes in customers’ requirements can make necessary additional professional development for employees, introduction of benchmarking procedures etc. Self-organization, enables the process ability to enhance its structure and implementation technology depending on the environment. Formally, self-organization model is described as follows. Quality management process is represented as a model of a complex system with input values (such as requirements to the quality level [Formula: see text] and managing actions [Formula: see text]) and output signals (such as multiple factors of a process quality [Formula: see text]). Development of quality management system processes in the mechanical engineering industry (complication of a structure or production technology, etc.) is realized considerably by using self-organization principles. By analyzing the causes of self-organizational processes development, we can conclude that a fundamental factor for that process is the desire to improve the competitiveness of an organization which implies the development of effective quality management system.
