DESIGN OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The FDA has identified in the QS regulation the essential elements that a quality system shall
embody for design, production and distribution, without prescribing specific ways to establish
these elements. These elements include:
personnel training and qualification controlling the product design controlling documentation controlling purchasing product identification and traceability at all stages of production controlling and defining production and process defining and controlling inspection, measuring and test equipment validating processes product acceptance controlling nonconforming product instituting corrective and preventive action when errors occur labeling and packaging controls handling, storage, distribution and installation records servicing statistical techniques
All over seen by management and quality audits,
Because the QS regulation covers a broad spectrum of devices and production processes, it
allows some leeway in the details of quality system elements. It is left to manufacturers to
determine the necessity for, or extent of, some quality elements and to develop and implement
procedures tailored to their particular processes and devices. For example, if it is impossible to
mix up labels at a manufacturer because there is only one label to each product, then there is nonecessity for the manufacturer to comply with all of the GMP requirements under device
labeling.

resources needed to implement quality management. Early systems emphasized predictable
outcomes of an industrial product production line, using simple statistics and random
sampling. By the 20th century, labor inputs were typically the most costly inputs in most
industrialized societies, so focus shifted to team cooperation and dynamics, especially the
early signaling of problems via a continuous improvement cycle. In the 21st century, QMS
has tended to converge with sustainability and transparency initiatives, as both investor and
customer satisfaction and perceived quality is increasingly tied to these factors. Of all QMS
regimes, the ISO 9000 family of standards is probably the most widely implementedworldwide - the ISO 19011 audit regime applies to both, and deals with quality and
sustainability and their integration.
Other QMS, e.g. Natural Step, focus on sustainability issues and assume that other
quality problems will be reduced as result of the systematic thinking, transparency,
documentation and diagnostic discipline that sustainability focus implies. See sustainability
for more on this approach to quality management.
ISO 9001 AND QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROCESS
ISO 9000is a series of standards, developed and published by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO), that define, establish, and maintain a quality
assurance system for manufacturing and service industries. The standards are available
through national standards bodies. ISO 9000 deals with the fundamentals of quality
management systems, including the eight management principles upon which the family of

A QMS process is an element of an organizational QMS. The ISO9001:2000 standard
requires organizations seeking compliance or certification to define the processes which form
the QMS and the sequence and interaction of these processes. Butterworth-Heinemann and
other publishers have offered several books which provide step-by-step guides to whom
seeking the quality certifications of their products.
Examples of such processes include:
Order Processing Production Planning Measurement of product/ service/ process compliant with specified requirements
including statistical techniques such as Statistical Process Control and Measurement
Systems Analysis
Calibration Internal Audit Corrective Action Preventive Action Identification, labeling and control of non conforming product to preclude its
inadvertent use, delivery or processing. Purchasing and related processes such as supplier selection and monitoring
ISO9001 requires that the performance of these processes be measured, analyzed and
continually improved, and the results of this form an input into the management review
process.
PRINCIPLE REQUIREMENTS
Although the management system standards developed at different times, they have matured
over the last 8 years and we can now see common features in the requirements even though they
are not structured identically as yet. The requirements in general address:
Policy: Defining, documenting, maintaining and communicating overall intentions relative to an
aspect of organizational performance. Eg., quality, environment, profit and safety.
Planning: Establishing objectives, measures and targets for fulfilling the policies, assessing risks
and developing plans and processes for achieving the objectives that take due account of these
risks.
Implementation: Resourcing, operating and controlling the processes as planned, including thehanding of conforming and nonconforming outputs.
Measurement Monitoring, measuring and auditing processes, the fulfillment of objectives andpolicies and satisfaction of stakeholders.
Review: Analysis and evaluation of the results of measurement, determination of performanceagainst objectives and determination of changes needed to policies, objectives, measures, targetsand processes for the continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness of the system.
How do these requirements relate to other models?
All the principles of the quality management system standards can be related to the principles
and concepts within the European excellence model (see Excellence models and awards). Hoylesuggests in Quality Management Essentials that depending on the meaning of the words used
there is no conflict but ISO 9001 does not include requirements on results orientation and public

Cause-and-effect diagram(also called Ishikawa or fishbone chart): Identifies manypossible causes for an effect or problem and sorts ideas into useful categories.
Check sheet:A structured, prepared form for collecting and analyzing data; a generictool that can be adapted for a wide variety of purposes.
Control charts:Graphs used to study how a process changes over time. Histogram:The most commonly used graph for showing frequency distributions, or how
often each different value in a set of data occurs.
Pareto chart:Shows on a bar graph which factors are more significant.
Scatter diagram:Graphs pairs of numerical data, one variable on each axis, to look for arelationship.
Stratification:A technique that separates data gathered from a variety of sources so thatpatterns can be seen (some lists replace stratification with flowchart or run chart).
STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL
Statistical process control (SPC)is a method of quality control which uses statistical
methods. SPC is applied in order to monitor and control a process. Monitoring and
controlling the process ensures that it operates at its full potential. At its full potential, the
process can make as much conforming product as possible with a minimum (if not anelimination) of waste (rework or Scrap). SPC can be applied to any process where the
"conforming product" (product meeting specifications) output can be measured. Key tools
used in SPC include control charts; a focus on continuous improvement; and the design of
experiments. An example of a process where SPC is applied in manufacturing lines,
OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS OF VARIATION
SPC must be practiced in 2 phases: The first phase is the initial establishment of the
process, and the second phase is the regular production use of the process. In the second phase,
we need to decide the period to be examined, depending upon the change in 4-M conditions
(Man, Machine, Material, Method) and wear rate of parts used in the manufacturing process(machine parts, Jigs and fixture and tooling standard).
EMPHASIS ON EARLY DETECTION
An advantage of SPC over other methods of quality control, such as "inspection", is that
it emphasizes early detection and prevention of problems, rather than the correction of problems
after they have occurred.
INCREASING RATE OF PRODUCTION
In addition to reducing waste, SPC can lead to a reduction in the time required to producethe product. SPC makes it less likely the finished product will need to be reworked. SPC may
also identify bottlenecks, waiting times, and other sources of delays within the process.
LIMITATIONS
SPC is applied to reduce or eliminate process waste. This, in turn, eliminates the need for
the process step of post-manufacture inspection. The success of SPC relies not only on the skill
with which it is applied, but also on how suitable or amenable the process is to SPC. In some
cases, it may be difficult to judge when the application of SPC is appropriate.

3. Monitoring the ongoing production process, assisted by the use of control charts, todetect significant changes of mean or variation.
CONTROL CHARTS
The most common method of statistical process control is to take samples at regular
intervals and to plot the sample mean on a control chart.
If the sample mean lies within the warning limits (as point (1)) the process is assumed to
be on target. If it lies outside the action Limits (as point (2) the process is off target and the
machine must be reset or other action taken. If the mean is between the warning and action limits
(as point (3)) this is a signal that the process may be off target. In this case another sample is
taken immediately. If the mean is still outside the warning limits action is taken. If however the
second sample mean is within the warning limits production is assumed to be on target.
STABLE PROCESS
When the process does not trigger any of the control chart "detection rules" for the
control chart, it is said to be "stable". A process capability analysis may be performed on a stableprocess to predict the ability of the process to produce "conforming product" in the future.
EXCESSIVE VARIATION
When the process triggers any of the control chart "detection rules", (or alternatively, the
process capability is low), other activities may be performed to identify the source of the
excessive variation. The tools used in these extra activities include: Ishikawa diagrams, designed
experiments, and Pareto charts. Designed experiments are a means of objectively quantifying the
relative importance (strength) of sources of variation. Once the sources of variation have been
quantified, actions may be taken to reduce or eliminate them. Methods of eliminating a source ofvariation might include: development of standards; staff training; error-proofing and changes to
the process itself or its inputs.

them, plan a review, gather feedback and review
FORCE FIELD ANALYSIS:
It is a technique for identifying forces which may help or hinder achieving a change or
improvement. By assessing the forces that prevent making the change, plans can be developed to
overcome them. It is also important to identify those forces that will help with the change. Once
these forces have been identified and analyzed, it is possible to determine if a proposed change is
viable.
Driving force Restrainig force
CAUSE & EFFECT DIAGRAM
A useful way of mapping the inputs that effect quality is the Cause & Effect Diagram, also
know as the Fishbone orIshikawa Diagram. It is also a useful technique for opening up
thinking in problem solving.

PROBLEM
OR
EFFECTS
FACTORS OR CONCERNS
The effect or problem being investigated is shown at the end of a horizontal arrow; potential
causes are then shown as labeled arrows entering the main cause arrow. Each arrow may have
other arrows entering it as the principal causes or factors are reduced to their sub-causes;
brainstorming can be effectively used to generate the causes and sub-causes.
PARETO ANALYSIS:
Itcan be used to analyze the ideas from a brainstorming session. It is used to identify the
vital few problems or causes of problems that have the greatest impact. A Pareto diagram or
chart pictorially represents data in the form of a ranked bar chart that shows the frequency of
occurrence of items in descending order. Usually, Pareto diagrams reveal that 80% of the effect
is attributed to 20% of the causes; hence, it is some-times known as the 80/20 rule.
CONTROL CHART:
One of the key tools of SPC is a Control Chart. It is used to monitor processes that are in
control, using means and ranges. It represents data, Eg, sales, volume, customer complaints, in
chronological order, showing how the values change with time. In a control chart each point is
given individual significance and is joined to its neighbors. Above and below the mean, Upper
and Lower Warning and Action lines (UWL, LWL, UAL, LAL) are drawn. These act as signals
or decision rules, and give operators information about the process and its state of control. The
charts are useful as a historical record of the process as it happens, and as an aid to detecting and
predicting change.

Control the future state process to ensure that any deviations from the target are correctedbefore they result in defects. Implement control systems such as statistical process
control, production boards, visual workplaces, and continuously monitor the process.
Some organizations add a Recognize step at the beginning, which is to recognize the right
problem to work on, thus yielding an RDMAIC methodology.
DMADV or DFSS: The DMADV project methodology, known as DFSS ("Design For SixSigma"),features five phases:
Define design goals that are consistent with customer demands and the enterprisestrategy.
Measure and identify CTQs (characteristics that are Critical To Quality), productcapabilities, production process capability, and risks.
Analyze to develop and design alternatives Design an improved alternative, best suited per analysis in the previous step Verify the design, set up pilot runs, implement the production process and hand it over to
the process owner(s).
