The Quality Management System Procedures provide a framework for maintaining and continually improving the company’s quality management system, processes, and policies. Organizations must establish and implement the procedures effectively to achieve the management system’s goals and objectives.
Each QMS procedure is essential for effectively implementing, monitoring, and controlling a Quality Management System (QMS) that meets ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 standards requirements.
