It is, however, of fundamental importance to assure the
quality in a relationship to the following principle
properties:
■ technical standards and metric tolerances;
■ legibility, possibility of being updated, reliability;
■ ample intrinsic information content;
■ maintenance of the above characteristics.
In order to apply the ISO 9001 the fundamental aspects
connected to the production cycle have been analyzed
(figure 3).
3.1. Company organization
In general, the first thing to do in a company to assure
that the path towards total quality is well understood,
carried out and sustained at all levels id that of defining
the organization chart of the company structure and the
responsibilities of each component of the system. In
this environment it is necessary to establish the figure
of the quality coordinator who will represent and
translate at the various company levels and in all
departments the will of the management to apply this
policy.
The legislation states, furthermore, that within the
productive unit the producer should:
□ Company organization;
□ Final Design (flight, topographic network,
information structuring of data, etc.);
□ In coming products;
□ Production process;
□ Finished product.
The most important parts of each phase have been
identified defining the essential requisites for a
production in a regime of quality.
■ guarantee the free circulation of procedures that
have been documented, reviewed and approved
by the Administrative Technical Management;
■ archive the documents of the registration of quality
that are necessary in order to demonstrate the
conformity of the product to the specific requests of
the client;
■ carry out inspections in the company to show
eventual deficiencies or bad functioning of the
whole and complex quality system;
■ promote professional training courses in order to
have efficient staff ready to resolve any problems
connected to the actuation of total quality.

3.2. Design
The “design” for the geo-topo-cartographic sector
