| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: All BUs operate from one location hence location may not influence the process implementation)
Customer (Not Relevant: Customers are different, however, the process followed are similar since there are no customer specific process tailoring done while using the same set of QMS. Hence Customer may not influence the implementation)
Size (Not Relevant: The size of the BUs are similar hence this factor may not influence the implementation)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: Four BUs report to one SBU head and the Fifth BU reports to another SBU Head. This may influence the process implementation. However, this is redundant to the “Type of Work” factor)
Type of Work: The BUs are using different Life Cycle models and this could influence the process implementation |
