System

2. 1. & 2. Cut Costs & Save Time

3. In business, time is money.
Time you invest in setting up
quality control processes
and policies at the front end,
saves time in the long run.
Employees will know what
to do, when to do it and
how to do it. With a QMS in
place, the system ensures
mistakes are few and far
between, which saves you
both time and money.

4. 3. Increases Customer Satisfaction

5. With a QMS in place,
customers will receive
better services from
your business. Your
customers will
experience the best
your business has to
offer from beginning to
end when all members
of your company focus
their energy on quality.

6. 4. Reduced Risk

7. By emphasizing standard
processes, you limit risk
from internal and external
sources. Standardization
minimizes errors in all
aspects of your business
and reduces your liability.
Management systems also
foresee risks and build in
processes to address those
problems before they
arise.

8. 5. Increased Visibility

9. Using Quality Management Systems increases the visibility of
your business operations for customers and employees
through cross-functional teams and processes. A quality
system creates documents, processes, and a system of
checks and balances to improve your business operations.

10. 6. Improved Product Quality

11. The overall quality of your
products and services will
improve through system
management as well.

emphasis on quality in
your business and solicit
employee buy in,
production quality control
becomes the key focus of
your business from
product development to
delivery and on through to
customer satisfaction.

12. 7. Competitive Advantage

13. Businesses who invest in quality controls gain a competitive advantage over
companies who do not. Customers value quality in their goods and services
and will stick with companies that emphasize and have invested in quality.
Savvy customers in these difficult economic times do not want to waste
their time on companies who can't deliver on promises.

14. 8. Reduced Response Time

15. When things do go wrong,
a Quality Management
System will have best
practices in place to
address problems
immediately as they arise.
You won't have to waste
time and money figuring
out solutions because a
quality system will have
defined roles of
responsibility in place
ahead of time when
problems arise.

16. 9. Utilizes Best Practices

17. Developing a sense of
collaboration and focus
on quality will foster an
environment where
employees can share
best practices with each
other further ensuring
standardization and an
emphasis on quality.
This establishes a
system-wide focus on
quality.

18. 10. Grows Your Business

19. When you shift your focus from putting out fires to quality control,
you will have more opportunities to grow your business. The
organizational capabilities you put into place empower you to focus
on other aspects of your business. A quality management system is
key to your business success.
