A Quality Management System (QMS), is a set of processes that are implemented to ensure that business leaders meet FDA, ISO, and other global GxP regulatory requirements to help deliver better and safer products and to increase productivity. A successful QMS should be configurable and adapted to meet the needs of your business, including manufacturing, medical device services, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and so many more.
But what should I look for in a Quality Management System?
An effective QMS framework not only offers advanced analytics, to help better understand data, it enables users to make more informed decisions and improve productivity and can be properly executed if your business has these 8 robust Quality Management System apps.
Managing nonconformance (NCM)
Managing NonConformance (NCM) is an integral part of an organization’s continual improvement plan. Intellect’s QMS Platform enables organizations to capture, track and maintain accurate, auditable nonconformance records through a centralized database to have transparency for departments, sites, or locations. This allows organizations the ability to exceed audit, nonconformance, and corrective and preventive action requirements of common standards including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001.
Complaints management
Complaints Management software is needed for customer retention, compliance with industry regulations, and avoidance of potential product liability lawsuits. Quality, compliance, safety, efficiency, and costs are impacted in addition to poor communication without a proper QMS in place. Intellect QMS includes change management, automation, version control, and workflows to communicate, acknowledge, and then implement any requirements.
Change management
Change Management software is imperative for closed-loop quality and requires automation, version control, and workflows. Intellect QMS integrates with any enterprise system, so full transparency is included in the change management process. The submission of change requests and control plan revisions can be included at any point in production.
CAPA
CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) and product registration tracking are standard features to allow the implementation of corrective and preventive actions. This will meet compliance with industry regulations including GMP, ISO 9001 and 14001, TSCA, REACH, etc. CAPA process workflows provide a controlled environment and reduce the risk of repeat issues by ensuring that defined CAPA solutions and processes are met.
Document control management
Document Control/management organizes all documents into a centralized database with approval workflows and audit trails. This eliminates document redundancy, reduces the risk of manufacturing products with out-of-date SOPs, and creates efficiency in organizing documents.
Supplier quality management
Supplier Quality Management manages the process of qualifying, selecting, and monitoring suppliers and supply chain partners. Other requirements are supplier qualification workflows and tracking systems for supplier non-conformances and CAPA. Intellect QMS offers the flexibility and configurability to adapt to company-specific business processes, requirements, and needs. This allows organizations to define, track, manage, and report actions.
Audit
Audit Software reduces risk by enforcing consistent and harmonized processes while securely managing all information in a centralized system. In addition, it facilitates compliance with global government regulations and industry standards providing management the data needed to evaluate audit system effectiveness. It also provides auditors authoring tools required in the field.
Employee training
Employee Training Software creates a single interface to develop and manage training initiatives organizationally. This allows enterprises to maintain a complete inventory of employee education levels, job descriptions, and certification records. This will maximize the effectiveness of developing employee skills internally. Intellect QMS keeps employee certifications up-to-date as a full employee life-cycle enterprise management system.
