Quality Management Systems (QMS) List (April 2024)

Overview

Quality Management Systems (QMS) are essential for businesses that strive to maintain the quality of their products and the satisfaction of their customers. These systems are intricately designed to define quality specifications that align with customer expectations, industry standards, and regulatory requirements. QMS allows quality professionals to conduct comprehensive inspections, document findings, and report critical issues such as product defects or recalls. This helps production managers to implement corrective or preventive actions to enhance product quality. A typical QMS product should manage engineering changes, monitor nonconformance, generate documents, and provide training to uphold quality standards. Additionally, it should ensure the quality and compliance of fixed assets, monitor supplier quality, and assist with corrective and preventive actions (CAPA). Customizable workflows for inspections and audits can improve product quality and customer satisfaction, leading to increased revenue. QMS integrates with PLM, ERP, and EHS software to audit production, identify risks, ensure safety, and protect the environment.
