Quality Management
The growing mix of complex products, a global supply base and stringent customer requirements has created a need for organizations to have real-time visibility into their quality processes and to implement systems that ensure closed loop quality processes and support easy access to and efficient routing of information. Many organizations are deploying industry standard quality management methodologies such as ISO 9000, cGMPs and Six Sigma or implementing other quality practices to reduce costs, shorten cycle times and improve overall product and process quality.
Traditionally, homegrown systems, stand-alone applications or even manual paper-based systems have been used to manage product and process quality at departmental level. Such point-solutions fail to address systemic quality problems as they lack a broad enterprise reach. As a result, many companies are seeking to deploy enterprise class solutions that can unify quality management across their worldwide operations.
MetricStream offers comprehensive quality management software solutions for managing quality programs within an organization as well as for streamlining quality processes involving suppliers and customers. By improving operational efficiencies in quality systems, MetricStream enables companies to create a transparent environment for proactively identifying, tracking and resolving quality issues. Moreover, the embedded best practices for supporting key processes and requirements for standards and regulations such as ISO 9000 and FDA cGMPs lower the cost of regulatory compliance and risk of noncompliance.
In addition, MetricStream uniquely combines software and content to deliver quality management software solutions for effective and sustainable quality and compliance with embedded best practices templates, access to training content from an expert community, and integration of business processes with regulatory notifications or industry alerts.
