A quality management system (QMS) is a formalized system that documents processes, procedures, and responsibilities for achieving quality policies and objectives. Quality management helps implement quality control processes to prevent defects, enable continuous improvement, and establish sustained quality programs. QM is used primarily in quality control processes as goods move through production to inspect goods, ensure quality during production, and check goods before shipping. Potential benefits include compliance with regulations, lower costs, and improved customer satisfaction.

Quality Management System
Quality Management • A quality management system (QMS) is defined as a formalized system that documents processes, procedures, and responsibilities for achieving quality policies and objectives.
• Quality Management helps businesses implement and run
quality control processes. It is designed to prevent defects, enable continuous process improvement, and establish sustained quality control programs. Cont… • QM is used primarily in quality control processes that organizations use on goods as they move through the product lifecycle including inspecting goods as they come into a facility, when they go through production and when they are shipped out as finished goods.
• Potential benefits for the organization include compliance with
manufacturing quality regulations, lower operating costs, and improving customer satisfaction. Tools • Quality Planning (QM-PT), which lets you set up and manage quality inspection plans that define what goods are inspected, how the inspections take place, the characteristics of the goods to be inspected and the type of equipment used to perform the inspections. • Quality Inspection (QM-IM), which allows you to determine if a product meets the defined quality requirements and to record the results of inspections. QM-IM uses inspection specifications that are defined in Quality Planning. • Quality Certificates (QM-CA), which allows you to certify that goods have met defined quality requirements. Customers may have different specific criteria for the quality of their goods and you can confirm Quality Certificates to take this into account. However, QM-CA can also generate general certificates that don't use such specific criteria. • Quality Notifications (QM-QN), which lets you record problems you encounter with goods received from a vendor, when the goods are in production, or that are reported by customers. QM-QN can be configured to record, process, and manage positive information about products as well as complaints about quality. • Quality Control (QM-QC-AQC), which allows you to manage the quality control process. For example, you can use inspection results to update quality levels; use control charts to control characteristic values; and update vendor validations for the procurement process • Test Equipment Management (QM-IT), which allows you to manage information about the test equipment used in quality inspections. You can maintain data for each piece of test equipment and make sure it is calibrated regularly.
