OVERVIEW: QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (QMS)
WHAT IS A QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (QMS)?
A Quality Management System (QMS) orchestrates how a company maintains excellence - from documenting processes and assigning responsibilities to ensuring proper training and execution.
While often mistaken for a single software solution, a QMS typically integrates multiple systems working in harmony.
For instance, document control software might house procedures, training software tracks employee qualifications, and the ERP system manages actual operations like purchasing - all collaborating to exceed customer expectations and mitigate risks.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES WITH QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS?
Managing a Quality Management System (QMS) traditionally demands meticulous coordination and countless hours of work.
Teams struggle with document version control, secure distribution, and tracking training requirements across changing roles.
Audit preparation becomes particularly daunting as quality leaders manually review procedures, validate training records, and verify documentation across disconnected systems.
Without proper tools, these essential tasks can consume weeks of valuable time and still leave room for error.
THE 1FACTORY QUALITY MANAGEMENT SOLUTION
1factory transforms these challenges into opportunities with seamless quality management integration.
The 1factory platform streamlines document authoring and version control while automating secure distribution based on roles.
Training assignments dynamically adjust to document updates, role changes, and compliance requirements - eliminating manual tracking.
Most importantly, 1factory's centralized quality management system (QMS) ensures instant audit readiness by maintaining real-time compliance documentation, training records, and version histories, turning weeks of preparation into minutes of verification.
QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (QMS) FEATURES
1 Standards & Requirements
Digitize Document Control. Manage all external standards (e.g. ISO 9001:2015), customer-specific requirements (e.g. supplier quality manual), and regulatory requirements (e.g. 21 CFR Part 820) in one place. Digitize requirements and make them easy to find.
2 Procedures & Work Instructions
Author procedures and work-instructions with text and images directly in the 1factory Quality Management Software (QMS). Enjoy powerful version control, with clear change history across revisions. Establish clear links between standards (requirements), procedures, and other related documents.
3 Forms & Records
Manage Forms (e.g. Document Change Order) with revision control and approvals in the 1factory Quality Management Software (QMS). Ensure that records are generated only with the latest version of the form. Route records for approval. Easily search and retrieve records for audits.
4 Training Management
Establish a training plan for each procedure with a list of roles that require training. Easily assign and track training to all users with selected roles, or to selected users. Generate training for (1) initial release & new revision of a procedure, (2) new hire or role change, (3) scheduled periodic retraining, and (4) retraining as part of corrective action. Ensure training is always up-to-date and avoid audit findings.
5 Multi-Site Deployments
Author and manage corporate and site-specific procedures and work instructions. Corporate documents apply to all or selected sites, while site-specific documents apply to only the specific site. Effortlessly assign and track training across all sites.
6 Access Controls
Protect critical documents and organizational intellectual property - procedures, work instructions, and records - by limiting access to specific user roles.
7 Approval Workflows
Route documents - procedures, work instructions, and records - for approval by role and user. Notify users of required approvals and document status changes via email. Record approvals and electronic signatures.
8 Change History & Version Control
Easily manage changes with powerful built-in document Change History, Redline View, and Version Control capabilities. Simplify document review and approval with the powerful redline view showing additions, deletions and edits.

11 Supplier Corrective Actions
Request Corrective Actions (SCARs) from suppliers using the 8D process. Work together with suppliers to resolve problems and prevent recurrence. Ensure all 8D sections are filled-out, supplier actions are completed and effectiveness is verified prior to closing out the corrective action.
12 Complaints
Record and track product failures or deficiencies reported by field service teams and customers. Track reported issues from initial complaint through Investigation (Review of Device /Lot History Record, Failure Analysis), Risk Assessment, Containment, Corrective Action, and Preventive Action. Assign and track actions
