The results of this audit reflect our commitment to continuous improvement, strengthening a culture of quality, and ensuring that all services run consistently, transparently, and with a focus on stakeholder satisfaction,” said Prof. Tito.
He also emphasized that the ISO 9001:2015 recertification is a strategic necessity, not merely a formality, in strengthening the competitiveness and credibility of FMIPA UI at both the national and global levels.
“I encourage all unit leaders and the academic community of FMIPA UI to follow up on every audit finding with a spirit of continuous improvement. Findings should not be seen as weaknesses, but rather as opportunities to enhance the quality of services for all stakeholders,” he added.
The head of the internal audit team, Dr. Ir. Muhammad Habiburrahman, M.T., who is also an ISO 9001 and ISO 21001 practitioner in the education sector, stated that the internal audit showed positive results.
