Questionnaire for the first “Quality Assurance Field Survey”
Special attention will be given to ensure the anonymity of all answers given that they address sensitive information relating to product quality. Confidentiality will be guaranteed by ensuring:
1. Names of responding companies will not be published. Only general data will be published without compiling a ranking.
2. Access rights to the raw data will be limited even within the JMAC except when permitted by the respondent. The data will be checked during its input and summary to avoid disclosing the name of the respondent’s company (e.g. JMAC consultants will not have access to sensitive data so as to avoid accidental disclosure).
3. A non-disclosure agreement can be signed if desired by the respondent.
4. Business categories that receive only a few answers will not be analysed or summarised so as to avoid the possibility that responding companies might be identifiable.
