What’s the most important aspect of having a Quality System? Is it to meet FDA compliance on a certain product you manufacture or to have a Quality System that benefits your entire organization and business model?
Here’s a fresh perspective. There’s more to a quality system besides just being FDA compliant. Yes, being compliant is important, but improving your overall business practices can reap huge rewards. The benefits of a quality system are far beyond written manuals and procedures.
Let me ask you this, how many times have you been incident reactive to customer complaint issues? Instead of putting out fires, try to find long term solutions to prevent recurrence of complaints or remakes, which ultimately leads to your customers’ satisfaction and saves you money. So, you say, how do I do this? Begin by shifting your focus from “compliance” to “good business practices”. In doing so, you automatically become compliant, which is a great side benefit!
What exactly are Good Business Practices as it relates to a Quality System?
Good business practices are made up of a system of controls to reduce business risk. Your Quality System and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) are a critical part of establishing controls to provide a consistent product or service. Learn more.
Why should my business do this?
The goal is to improve your overall business model for productivity, efficiency and profitability by minimizing errors. A well-structured quality system provides methods for determining the root cause of complaints and reducing reworks/remakes. Ultimately, it will improve your business.
