A process-led QMS is designed to make business improvement easy and accurate. Although many organisations need one, few understand the real benefits. Here are 10 reasons why.

00:00:33Host

One: it improves efficiency. The first step to business improvement is to capture your processes through process mapping — find the wasteful or broken processes and work backwards from there.

00:00:54Host

Two: it supports employee succession planning and knowledge capture. When people move on, a process-led QMS allows you to capture and store important information so it remains in the company.

00:01:15Host

Three: it provides a framework for continuous improvement. When you can't identify what you do, you can't identify when it's failing. A good QMS provides organisation-wide oversight and clarity to job roles and how they link together.

00:01:37Host

Four: you can retire your paper-based system. It can transfer paper-based documentation into process maps available by typing a keyword into one easy, searchable system.

00:02:05Host

Five: it supports the implementation of other IT systems, such as enterprise resource planning, by giving you a complete overview of everything your business does.

00:02:23Host

Six: it will help your organisation eliminate silos, by identifying key processes in key areas, capturing and sharing them so staff know what they need to do and who to talk to.

00:02:43Host

Seven: it will help you establish an effective quality strategy. The risk of quality failure includes loss of trust and brand loyalty, costly regulatory penalties, and wasteful processes. A process-led QMS places quality at the heart of your organisation.

00:03:07Host

Eight: you can make more reliable changes. The ability to model change before you implement it is reason enough on its own — being able to eliminate failure before it happens is critical for saving money.

00:03:25Host

Nine: it increases employee engagement, provided you get employee buy-in from the start — don't ever map your processes without involving your employees.

00:03:48Host

Ten: it supports and underpins a consistent working culture, ensuring your business processes are accessible to the whole organisation and easy for them to access daily.
