Quality Management System
What Is a Quality Management System (QMS)?
A QMS is a set of policies, processes, and procedures a company uses to meet quality standards and customer requirements. A QMS typically includes a set of documented procedures that outline how the company identifies, measures, controls, and improves quality.
A QMS is critical for maintaining the quality and performance of a company's products and services and building customer trust and loyalty. It is regularly reviewed and improved to ensure it remains effective and relevant.
