ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System (QMS)

What is a QMS?

A Quality Management System is a collection of processes that primarily focus on consistently meeting customer requirements. An organisation has a QMS to ensure that its products or services satisfy the customer quality requirements and comply with any regulations applicable to those products or services. A QMS aims to:

• meet customer requirements – it allows the organisation to understand customer needs and allows the employees to meet and maintain/exceed customer expectations and satisfaction
• meet organisational requirements
• set standards for employees – allows involvement and contributions by everyone
• provide a means and framework to ensure all regulatory and accredited service requirements are met
• allows an organisation to run efficiently and profitably using a process approach – it is more efficient to manage activities and resources as a process which would cover management responsibility, measurement, analysis and improvement
• establish vision for employees
• ensure that there are sufficient processes, people and the resources needed to achieve the organisation’s goals
• helps to build motivation in an organisation – allows the organisation to create and maintain an internal environment which encourages involvement by everyone
• facilitate growth and development supporting employees – allows continual improvement.

To enable the above, a Quality Management System requires the following:

• documentation and procedures to be controlled using either a paper-based or electronic system
• records and archival material to be securely controlled
• to perform internal audits as per an internal audit schedule
• to control non-conforming products, processes, systems or services
• to prevent non-conforming products, processes, systems or services by performing corrective and preventive actions where needed
• to maintain a Quality System scope
• to maintain a Quality policy and set quality objectives.
