Klaten District Court in Indonesia implemented the International Framework for Court Excellence (IFCE) in 2018. This represents a key element of our program towards court excellence under the Indonesian Quality Assurance Accreditation process overseen by Directorate General of the General Courts, the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia.

application of ISO 9001: 2008, ISO 9001: 2015, in which the Klaten District
Court achieved its excellent "A" accreditation certificate in
November 2, 2016. With the assistance of Mr Danu Harya Yudha from MSI Consulting the court implemented the IFCE over a three month period in
the following 4 phases:
1. Self-assessment This involved a thorough
assessment of court processes and analysis of performance compliance in the
Seven Areas of the IFCE, using the following methodology:
·
Conducting a review of the self-assessment
checklist contained in appendix A of the IFCE.
·
Teams of judges and staff were divided into
seven groups for each area of court excellence.
·
Team composition consisted of cross-functional
members, from Technical and Non-Technical.
·
After each team performed the assessment for
their area, the whole team gathered for a plenary session and to discuss the
results.

Chief Judge, Klaten District Court.
