title: "Infographic: The Guiding Principles of a Quality Management System • Generis"
description: In today’s infographic we take a closer look at the guiding principles of a quality management system (QMS).  The goal of a QMS is to maintain compliance, drive continual improvement and support efficient and flexible processes.  A QMS is first established by assessing the short-falls of the current system and developing appropriate policies to achieve corporate quality goals. Once these are defined the standard operating procedures need to be implemented and personal buy-in from all levels of the organization must be achieved. Management will then monitor and review the outcomes, making additional adjustments to ensure continual improvement. Check out the infographic below for some quick insights on creating and monitoring a quality management system. For more in-depth information, strategies and best-practices attend the American Biomanufacturing Summit 2016 in San Diego this May.
