The most important advantages of a well-functioning quality management system at a glance.
Document control: working with a medical device without the correct documentation, is basically waiting for an accident (or an audit) to happen. An automated document management system creates order in your documents, so that you can easily find them whenever you need them. In addition, when you make an adaptation to a document associated with a particular product, the system uses automated workflows to implement changes accurately and in accordance with regulations.
Collaboration made easy: a QMS keeps track of which employees are linked to a particular product – from the suppliers of raw materials to the people who manage quality in the office. When it comes to non-conformities, you can use workflow automation to immediately inform everyone involved of any problems that need to be resolved. This way, everyone can take immediate action without wasting valuable time.
Proactively identifying problems: as more and more medical devices are IoT compliant, a QMS can monitor the information generated from these devices and initiate proactive responses in case of non-conformities.
Vendor management: If a company requires her suppliers to meet certain criteria, the QMS can provide the platform for entering and updating information about the suppliers’ quality management.
