SCRUM METHODOLOGY AS A TOOL OF THE MECHANISM OF IMPLEMENTATION OF A FLEXIBLE APPROACH TO CHANGES IN THE ACTIVITIES OF THE TEST LABORATORY OF LIGHTWEIGHT

Abstract

The testing laboratory of light industry carries out tests of various types of materials for compliance with the requirements of regulatory documents: standards, regulations, technical conditions, etc. According to the goals of customers, tests can be conducted to allow products to enter the market and confirm the possibility of safe use and application of products, as well as to determine the actual quality of products, providing customer confidence, as a result, reduces economic risks. To ensure that the results are recognized by all market participants, the test laboratory must be accredited to comply with international standards. Accreditation is carried out in accordance with DSTU ISO / IEC 17025: 2019 [1]. By implementing a management system in accordance with the standard, the test laboratory demonstrates confirmation of the laboratory's competence and ensures the recognition of test results. At the same time, it demonstrates compliance with the principles and requirements of DSTU ISO 9001: 2015 [2]. There is no specific methodology for the implementation of the requirements of the standard. Each laboratory must determine it at its own discretion. We will try to apply for the implementation and enforcement of the requirements of DSTU ISO / IEC 17025: 2019 [1] SCRUM methodology. When we talk about the SCRUM methodology, we often mean a flexible software development methodology based on SCRUM rules and practices. But recently it is increasingly used in other industries, such as finance and banking, project development and more. Thanks to the strategies and capabilities of the SCRUM methodology, teamwork is built, the desire to achieve a common goal, the quality of processes, professionalism is ensured. Daily DAILY SCRUM where everyone answers three questions: what has been done, what is planned, what are the obstacles; allows you to determine the status of work, identify obstacles, make appropriate decisions to achieve goals. This aspect is directly related to the requirement of DSTU ISO / IEC 17025: 2019 [1] for the activities of the test laboratory and is the basis of process management using the PDCA cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act). DSTU ISO 9001: 2015 [2]. To make a test lab a success, a manager needs to be mindful of the opportunities and potential, while taking into account market expectations, to offer services and deadlines that suit all stakeholders.
