ISO 9001 Compliance

Many organizations are instituting industry standard quality management methodologies. The methodologies are based on ISO 9000 and related specifications developed for specific industries, and include; TS 16949 for the automotive industry, ISO 13485 for the medical industry and AS 9100/AS 9102/AS 9103 for the aerospace industry.  The standards take a process-centric approach toward quality management and compliance and provide for product excellence, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.

Companies are reaping benefits from IQS' ISO 9000 Software Solutions to leverage:

Integrated Quality Hub:

Ensure that all quality related activities are well integrated to create a single repository for issues and data.

IQS tracks all events as they move from one stage to the next and across departments, groups, customers and suppliers, to ensure a closed loop quality management process. For example, a document change can initiate a training request.  Then, when related training has been completed, validation is received.  Or, a nonconformance may be triggered as a result of an audit finding. 

Corrective Actions/Problem Solving:

Engage teams to collaborate on development and implementation of problem-solving and corrective action plans.

IQS enables the analysis of nonconformance trends and triggers Corrective Actions. The Corrective Action solution provides root cause analysis and assigns follow up actions, while effectively tracking and routing activities from initiation to closure.  Finally, the Corrective Action provides validation of effectivenss to ensure the reported issue has been corrected. 

Audit Management:

Conduct internal audits to ensure that the established product and process quality requirements are being followed.

IQS capabilities efficiently plan, schedule and conduct audits, and allow audit findings to be reviewed and analyzed by a team. Audit Management enables initiation of follow up activities such as corrective/preventive actions when needed. It then provides the ability to monitor the entire process.

Document Control:

Streamline management and control processes for documents such as SOPs, work instructions, training documents, safety, regulatory filings, and quality reports.

IQS enables companies to adopt an electronic and automated approach to manage and control documents across the enterprise with a centralized repository that includes stringent revision control capabilities.

Nonconformance:

Efficiently generates a nonconformance based on supplier, customer and internal activities and accelerates the review and approval cycles with automated workflow and collaboration features.  

Real-time Reporting:

Track quality issues and processes in real-time on executive dashboards.  Provides reports for data-driven decision making.

IQS offers complete visibility into the IQS quality data hub with comprehensive, consolidated reporting and follows with detailed status tracking. IQS' quality intelligence reporting framework provides graphic executive dashboards and analytics that offer flexible reports with drill-down capability.
