“The organizational structure,
processes, procedures, and resources,
needed to implement Quality
management.

Organizational Structure:
The Organizational chart that defines roles is
required for your Quality Management system.
Roles has to be defined
Responsibilities have to be assigned

Process: A set of steps that add value to an
input to produce an output

PROCESSESPROCESSES
Y= F(X), F Adds value to inputs to produce an
output Y
 There are inputs in each process
 The output of one process is the input of the
next process
 The inputs of a process are the 6Ms
 The output is the defined specifications

MANAGEMENTMANAGEMENT

THE TWO PARTS OF QUALITYTHE TWO PARTS OF QUALITY
A Quality Management system(QMS)
must have two sets of activities taking
place at any given time:
 Quality Assurance ActivitiesQuality Assurance Activities
Quality control ActivitiesQuality control Activities

QUALITY ASSURANCE(QA)QUALITY ASSURANCE(QA)
Quality Assurance is a set of activities
intended to establish
confidence that quality requirements
will be met. QA is the first function of a
Quality management system
.

QUALITY CONTROL (QC)QUALITY CONTROL (QC)
Quality control is a set of activities intended to ensure that
quality requirements are actually being met. Quality control
is the second part of quality management.

 Activities in your Quality Management system
that are performed to establish confidence that
Quality requirements in your product and service
will be met.
Examples:
 Supplier Quality Management: Qualification,
Supplier Audits, supplier Quality Agreement
 Design validation
 Process validation
 Change control
 Quality Planning and Training

2.QUALITY CONTROL2.QUALITY CONTROL
Activities performed in your Quality
Management system to verify that
Quality in your products and services
was met
Example:
Incoming inspection
In-process testing
Final Inspection
Internal Audits

STEPSSTEPS
Step one: Identify all required processes
in your Quality subsystems
Step two: Identify all required SOPs per
processes
Step three: Identify All stakeholders
Step four: Talk to stake holders about
how work flows across functions.

STEPSSTEPS
Step five: Convert what stakeholders say
into a CROSS-FUNCTIONAL process map
Step six: Review the process map with stake
holders
Step seven: Convert the process map into a
standard procedure
Step eight: Review the SOP with
stakeholders and route for approval.

Step one: Identify all required tasks per
processes in your Quality subsystems
Step two: Identify all required work
Instructions per processes
Step three: Talk to process owners about
process steps
Step four: Draw the process flow.

STEPSSTEPS
Step five: Review the process flow with
the process owner
Step six: Convert the process flow into a
work Instruction
Step seven: Review the work Instruction
with the process owner and route for
approval

DEFINE YOUR RECORDS

StepsSteps
1.Define what type of information you want
to capture
2.Decide where to capture the information
3.Decide who to capture the information
4.Decide when to capture the information
5.Decide how to keep the information
6.Define the record retention policy

STEPSSTEPS
Remember records are proof of a task
having been performed
Step one: Establish ownership (who)
Step two: Define the Task(what)
Step three: Document the Time(when)
Step four: Document results obtained
(what)
Leading Question : “ who did what, when,
and what?”.

StepsSteps
1.Decide the purpose of the
template
2.Decide on the structure of the
template
3.Decide on the layout of the
template
4.Draft the template
5.Route the draft for approval.

GOOD DOCUMENTATION
PRACTICES(GDPs)
All Quality System documents:

Must be reviewed through a formal
review process

Approved through a formal review
process

Maintained at current revision levels
through change control

Retired through change control

QUALITY FEEDBACK LOOPS
Once designed and implemented the Quality
management system is maintained through:

The internal Feed-backloop

External Feedback-loop
Internal feedback loop:
Quality information from within the
Quality system initiated by the
organization

INTERNAL FEEDBACK LOOP
Information maintained by this loop includes:

Internal Quality Audits

In-process inspection

Management Review

Annual document reviews

Change requests: product,process and
document

EXTERNAL FEED-BACK
LOOP
The external feedback loop is Quality
information from third party users of your
Quality system. This includes:

Customer complaints

Post market surveillance data

Customer returns

Regulatory Audits

Notified body/third party Audits

Customer returns

QUALITY RISK MANAGEMENT
Once an adverse is established,or a non-
conformity is discovered the risk is assessed
The risk level dictates:

Whether a CAPA is to be opened or
not

The priority level of the
nonconformity,or adverse trend
Note:
Not every nonconformity is a candidate
for CAPA.

REQUIREMENTS
EN ISO 14971 gives three options to manufacturers
for how to reduce and control risks for their
devices:
 Design an inherently safe device: DFMEA
 Use of protective measures in the device itself:
Hazard mitigation

In the manufacturing process: PFMEA

REQUIREMENTS
ISO13485: Clause 7.1 requires, “. . . risk
management throughout product
realization.”
– In addition, “Records arising from risk
management shall be maintained”

QUALITY RISK
MANAGEMENT TOOLS
There are several Quality Risk Management
tools:

PFMEA

DFMEA

Fault Tree Analysis

Probability Risk Assessment (PRA)

IMPROVE AND CLOSE THE
LOOP
Once the potential nonconformity,or
nonconformity has been prioritized based
on risk a decision is made as to whether to
open a CAPA,or not.
Second step:

Validate,or verify the solution

Implement the validated solution

Monitor for success

Close the CAPA based on data collected
