undertake the establishment of a Quality Manual System (QMS) certifiable to the ISO
9001:2015 standard. The ISO 9001:2015 shall provide a globally recognized standard
that would transform MNWD’s current management system to a certifiable QMS.
The MNWD-QMS shall be in compliance with the Inter-Agency Task Force

The MNWD-QMS shall define the interrelated/interacting elements that allow

the organization to establish its policy and objectives related to quality and to achieve
those objectives.
It shall ensure operational and cost reduction benefits through the delivery of
mandated functions with the establishment of a system for control of non-conforming
services and performance of an internal quality audit. Documents and records
management is better controlled with the strict implementation of established
procedures. Enhanced knowledge and understanding of basic processes and
procedures of the different operating and support units of the MNWD will result to
improved staff discipline and capability.
The commitment of management to provide necessary resources such as

competent human resources, good working environment and well-maintained
infrastructure shall result to a more transparent and improved management system,
thereby, maintaining the trust and confidence of customers and the general public.

7.0 MNWD ORGANIZATIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MNWD Organizational Structure (Annex A) is premised on the basic

definition of management as the art and science of getting things done through the
efforts of people. It is the continuous interplay of the elements, functions, principles

8.0 GENERAL BUSINESS PROCESS
In adherence to the principles of Results – Based and Strategic Performance Based

operation of core functions of the Metropolitan Naga Water District (MNWD), the
Quality Management System is prepared to serve as a blueprint of work distribution
based on the Agency – Organizational Performance Indicator Framework (Annex B)
cascaded to the Working Units down to Individual Performers within the MNWD
hierarchy.
Likewise, major MNWD plans, programs and projects are in consonance with the five
(5) key result areas, namely: (1) Poverty Reduction and Empowerment of the Poor &
Vulnerable (2) Rapid Inclusive and Sustained Economic Growth (3) Integrity of the
Environment and Climate Change, Adaptation and Mitigation (4) Transparency,
Accountability and Participatory Government and (5) Just and Lasting Peace and the Rule
of Law, under Executive Order (EO) No. 43, series of 2011, dated May 13, 2011 and the
