A quality management system (QMS) is an ISO 9001-specific type of management system. It places emphasis on aligning and improving processes, leadership and operations to deliver consistently high-quality products and services. Designed to help organisations exceed customer expectations, it can also improve customer relationships and increase customer retention.
A QMS includes a number of processes, such as leadership and management through to operational effectiveness, quality control and the measures in place to ensure quality. This is a wide-scope project, and requires a organisation-wide approach in order to meet ISO 9001 certification critera.
A quality management system aligns organisational priorities across an organisation in pursuit of exceeding customer satisfaction with high quality products and services. ISO 9001 certified organisations are also able to access tenders from government and large organisations that often require ISO 9001 certification, the certification itself demonstrating reliability and efficiency. ISO 9001 demonstrates a commitment to quality outputs, enhancing business reputation, reducing costs and increasing customer retention.
Not only does implementing a management system increase external, customer-related benefits, but also internal ones: better employee engagement, more effective leadership, less wastage in operations that leads to lower costs, and increase productivity.
A management system helps a business identify potential issues, rapidly solve quality problems and be more flexible in the face of fluctuating markets and customer requirements.
There are a number of management systems under the International Organisation for Standards, with different ISO standards having their own lists of requirements and criteria. The most common ISO management systems include:
ISO 9001 – Quality Management System.
ISO 14001 – Environmental Management System.
ISO 45001 – Occupational Health and Safety Management System.
ISO 27001 – Information Security Management System.
ISO 50001 – Energy Management System.
ISO 22301 – Business Continuity Management System.
