What is a Quality Management System?
A quality management system is a set of policies, processes, and procedures a company uses to meet quality standards and customer requirements. A quality management system typically includes a set of documented procedures that outline how the company identifies, measures, controls, and improves quality.
A Quality Management System 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.
