What is a QMS?

A Quality Management System (QMS) is a formalized system that organizations use to manage and improve the quality of their products, services, and processes. This system typically includes a set of policies, procedures, and processes that are designed to ensure that the organization consistently produces high-quality goods and services that meet or exceed customer expectations.

Standards and Frameworks for QMS

Embracing ISO 9001:2015 Standards
- ISO 9001 sets an international benchmark for QMS, offering a framework for organizations to implement and maintain effective quality management practices.
Integrating Six Sigma Methodology
- Six Sigma, a methodology focused on process improvement and variation reduction, can be seamlessly integrated with QMS principles.
Adopting Total Quality Management (TQM)
- Total Quality Management, emphasizing continuous improvement, customer satisfaction, and employee involvement, complements QMS practices.

Implementing a QMS can help a company in many ways, including:
