ABLE’s Quality Management Initiatives Surpassing Standards

Quality management is an important part of any successful business, ensuring that products and services continually meet or exceed consumer expectations. The development of a strong Quality Management System (QMS), provides a structure for meeting and maintaining quality standards.

What is a Quality Management System?

A Quality Management System (QMS) is a formal structure that records processes, methods, and responsibilities for reaching standards and policies. It offers an organized approach to quality assurance, empowering businesses to improve consumer satisfaction, comply with regulations, and increase operational effectiveness.

Stages of Quality Management

Planning (Quality Plan): This stage involves establishing quality objectives and outlining the processes and resources required to achieve them. The Quality Plan serves as a roadmap for implementing quality management practices within the business.
Developing (Quality Control): Quality Control focuses on ensuring that products and services meet predefined quality standards. It involves monitoring and inspecting processes, identifying deviations, and implementing corrective measures to maintain consistency and prevent defects.
Evaluating (Quality Assurance): Quality Assurance involves systematic evaluation of processes to ensure compliance with established standards and regulations. It aims to prevent defects before they occur by implementing quality management systems, conducting audits, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
Improving (Quality Improvement): Continuous improvement is the foundation of QMS, driving organizations to identify areas for enhancement and implement proactive measures to enhance quality, efficiency, and effectiveness.

These audits serve as proactive measures to ensure compliance with standards and regulations, identifying any potential issues before they escalate. By conducting regular internal audits, we can quickly address problems, implement corrective actions, and strengthen our QMS over time.
