Many organizations are instituting industry standard quality management methodologies. These standards take a process-centric approach toward quality management and compliance and provide for product excellence, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.
Based on ISO 9000 or related specifications developed for specific industries, standards include TS 16949 for the automotive industry, ISO 13485 for the medical device industry and AS9100/AS9102/AS9103 for the aerospace industry.
IQS offers a proven and comprehensive suite of ISO Compliance Solution software to support ISO 9000 compliance. Today major companies are replacing point solutions, spreadsheet based and home grown systems with the IQS Solution to automate their quality management processes, gain real-time visibility into their quality metrics, reduce the costs arising out of poor quality, and comply with ISO 9000 and related standards.
Ensures that all quality related activities are tightly integrated to create a single repository for quality related issues and data.
IQS tracks all events as they move from one stage to the next, across departments, groups, customers and suppliers, to ensure a closed loop quality management process. For example, a document change can initiate a training request. Validation is received that related training has been completed. Nonconformance may be triggered as a result of audit findings tied to the audit.
Engage teams to collaborate on development and implementation of problem solving and corrective action plans.
IQS enables the analysis of nonconformance trends and triggers a Corrective Action. The Corrective Action performs root cause analysis, assigns follow up actions while effectively tracking and routing activities from initiation to closure. Finally, the Corrective Action provides validation of effectiveness to ensure the reported issue has been corrected.
Conduct internal audits to ensure that the established product and processes quality requirements are being followed.
IQS's 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.
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.
Efficiently generates a nonconformance based on supplier, customer and internal activities and accelerates the review and approval cycles with automated workflow and collaboration features.
Track quality issues and processes in real-time on executive dashboards and 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’s quality intelligence reporting framework provides graphic executive dashboards and analytics that offer flexible reports with drill-down capability.
