A Quality Management System (QMS) is a tool consisting of a set of strategies, policies, human and material resources, means of production, objectives and processes. All of them are defined by an organization to obtain a result according to a quality standard included in a reference regulation.
Therefore, a QMS is composed of the quality policy and other policies, the strategic plan, the processes, the procedures, the instructions, the quality plans and other applicable documentation.
Having a QMS responds to the need to establish strategic lines of action, defined policies, robust and reliable processes, based on the guidelines set by a regulation common to all companies, to achieve adequate results in terms of quality of the products and services offered.
The main standards related to quality management are:
- UNE-EN-ISO 9001: 2015 and UNE-EN 9100: 2018: Collect the requirements that the QMS must meet, respectively, in general and in particular (aeronautics, defence and aerospace sectors).
- ISO / TS22163: Railway sector regulations, which replaces IRIS (main reference standard until 2017).
- IATF16949: Regulations of the automotive sector.
